Keep in mind that there are several factors when pepper spray or tear gas is used on a person. Some can be helped with cool water, but remember that any soap (or even water) can push the pepper spray into the pores and cause even more discomfort. Pepper Spray has four physiological effects that may be experienced and only skin surface issues can be helped with careful washing.
Eyes – tearing, involuntary closing or complete closing due to dilation of the eye capillaries. Eyes will appear red/bloodshot for 30 to 60 minutes. People wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses will be equally affected.
Respiratory System – immediate inflammation, including swelling of the throat lining which can restrict the airway size. Respiratory functions return to normal within 10 to 45 minutes. The airway will be open enough to allow for sufficient oxygen flow for survival. Due to the reduced airway flow, the person will probably not receive enough oxygen to continue fighting or other sustained physical exertion. Temporary paralysis of the larynx. Uncontrollable coughing, retching, and gasping for air with a gagging sensation in the throat.
Effect on the skin - inflammation of the exposed skin with a burning sensation.
Effects on muscle coordination - pepper spray exposure may cause a person to lose balance due to the effect of pepper spray on vision.

Anything with an oily base, Baby shampoo the Cops say works, but I had the terrible experience while at work one night with a Psycho on Ice, the Cops Capsicum sprayed him and it got all over us when we took him down, I washed with everything available in the hospital but nothing worked, and I had to finish my shift stinging for hours, even tried skin cream, that didn't work either!!! The stuff even stripped the coating off my spec's!!! Good Luck

wash your eyes out with water, it will sting for a couple of days but nothing like the initial spray. My friends dad works in a prison and he sprayed us once for fun and it stung like heck! The stuff he used smelled like citrus, like an orange or something but it sure did sting!
