I used 1% Hydrocortisone creme in various forms for a persistant rash on my cheeks. It kept it at bay but never made it go away. Every morning I had to wash off all the flaking skin. The underlying tissue stayed sensitive and red but would lessen during the day. I repeated this for a year and a half. Two weeks ago it spread to the bridge of my nose and down my cheeks almost to my mouth. I researched eczema remedies here on Amazon. I almost passed on this because of the negative reviews. I was at CVS and since it was handy I bought it along with several other cremes. After 2 days of use 3 times a day most of the redness was gone. Just a week more of use my skin is no longer sensitive or flaking. I smile at the mirror now. Evidently the other ingredients play an important part in the healing process. My skin is now normal. I have no idea if I have to use this long term. I guess I will find out when I discontinue use to see if the rash returns. By the way this is the new formula with zinc.

I have a 3yr old toddler. She scratches until she bleeds because of her eczema. She has dry patches on elbows and under her knees. I’ve currently been using Dove Sensitive, oatmeal baths (when it gets really bad), hydrocortisone cream, and Eucerine mixed with a little Jojoba oil. This seems to work well in the warm months but this winter has been really bad. I just bought this cream yesterday and this is the first night in a few months where she has not woken up to scratch. This morning I noticed a visible difference in her skin…it wasn’t as irritated. And I have not seen a her scratch once today. I’ll update again after a week but so far, I’m excited that this may work!

I bought this product at CVS for 9.99. I clears the skin for about one day and then the redness and itching returns. I hate rubbing steriod on my little one twice a day but its the only thing that makes it go away at least for 1 day.

On the picture of the box this product does not say it is the new eczema medication with the zinc ingredient. I could have bought the same thing at the store for a lower price. I wanted the old version with out the zinc. I compared the boxes and one says new with zinc and the old one just says new.

Has anyone looked at the active ingredients on this lotion? It’s 1% Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Lotion. You can buy 1% Hydrocortisone it at Walmart for $1. Don’t waste your money on this.
