5.0 out of 5 stars Miraculous but needs instructions, September 16, 2010

After battling severe eczema for nine months, including a hospital stay, I finally found this stuff. It's wonderful! I mean, I can sleep again. But it took me a little time to see how it works. I had eczema on my arms and hands and fingers. My fingers would crack and peel and crack and peel at the knuckles. Then the new skin would crack again almost immediately.

It says this cream contains seven moisturizers. One of them seems to be a waxy layer that works it's way to the top and becomes almost like a second skin. It has to "rest" for about 15 minutes, at which time it settles in; it can sting a bit until then. Once it's dry, but still feels "waxy" the pain goes away. If you try to apply more while it still has that waxy feel (about five to six hours) the waxy stuff will just gum up. For my knuckles, I would put it on with my fingers clenched. It provided a "skin" on top of my new skin which strengthened it until the skin was strong enough to not crack anymore.

I've had the best results with rinsing off and then reapplying after seven to eight hours, after the waxy feeling is gone. This has worked very well. This is the best product I've tried and I've tried just about everything. Early on, though, when my eczema was really bad, I think it might have stung too much. The gentlest lotion I found was Vanicream Lite (make sure it's the Lite) which I would recommend if your skin is really painful. Then go on to this stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relief.....finally!!!, July 22, 2010

I have had eczema for years and have tried numerous creams, lotions, prescriptions etc but NOTHING has really helped as well as this product. I've only been using it for about a week and it has been nothing short of miraculous. My eczema had recently started to affect my eyelids to the point of cracking and itchy, flaking skin. I had to stop wearing any makeup at all around my eyes. I found this product and the very first time I used it, my relief was almost immediate. I have found that I has to use it very sparingly....just a little does wonders for me. As I type this, I am wearing mascara and have not signs of any skin discomfort anywhere.

I hope others who have been suffereing can find that it works as well for them as it did for me.

Okay, maybe this lotion is not a miracle worker in the biblical sense. But, we have had amazing results with this product. My daughter has terrible eczema on her arms. We have tried different types of remedies from oatmeal baths to prescription ointments. I saw a coupon for this in the paper and decided to give it a shot. And, it has been great! It really cleared up the eczema and my daughter's discomfort. And, her skin feels much, much softer. And, it has a nice scent. We saw results in less than three days. My daughter is actually weaing short sleeve shirts again!
