A potion is given to a player by asking the Apothecary in Varrock for a free sample. The Apothecary will give it roughly half the time, otherwise refusing to do so. Multiple potions can be obtained using the drop trick.

It is revealed during the conversations in Sophanem that the potion is an acne potion used to relieve itching.

Uses
