This is a video review of California Baby's Calendula Cream.

The scent is very mild and the 2 pack makes the purchase much more economical as opposed to buying them individually.

We are definitely going to continue buying this product for the baby, Mom and Dad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice and rich but maybe not the best for true eczema, March 22, 2010

I thought this cream was mediocre at best - then later decided maybe it was working well enough after all with the added benefit that my son didn't fight me using it. Now I have found it wasn't working well at all so I have to say if you are truly dealing with eczema please just consider stepping outside what is "natural" and using modern science to fix it.

Basically my son gets a hideous flare up all over his lower legs as winter comes on, every year. We would use aquaphor to get it tamed down, and then lotion to maintain. He'd fight and scream over lotion because he said it burned, and every year it was a battle to stay in the point where lotion would help and be tolerable because his skin wasn't too raw to use it. Aquaphor is NASTY stuff - not from a natural parenting perspective, just from a greasy ick perspective. You get all this icky goo on your hands and then you're trying to pull down pant legs and put on socks but you have to really go and WASH your hands between steps. This cream is so much more pleasant to use - you can just rub the excess in to your own hands. And it smells AWESOME. We got my son's legs tamed with this and then we were maintaining with the daily use lotion form.

I *thought* it was working. It didn't look perfect, but it looked pretty decent, and he didn't fight me putting these things on him.

Then he developed a nasty looking staph infection all over his lower legs which I never, ever knew could happen from eczema. I guess while the skin maybe LOOKED somewhat OK (and it never looked PERFECT, just pretty decent) the itching was still there - he was still scratching - and literally over the course of one day ended up covered on what looked like red infected flea bites.

He is on antibiotics for the staph, and we took him to a derm for something better for the eczema. Right now we're using a prescription ointment and once the worst is tamed, we were given some suggestions of OTC creams with ceremide in them, which is supposedly what you really need in a cream to treat eczema.

I now find myself wondering if a lot of people who rave about these products for their eczema are actually just dealing with over-dry skin. I wanted this to work, and even thought it was working, but we will not go back to using this. We're going to be treating eczema a lot more seriously now.

If this works for you, fabulous. But it you're seeing only "kind-of" results like we did, please take it seriously and try something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped with dermatitis and POD, September 4, 2010

I purchased this product from a health food store, as the price was considerably cheaper than Amazon's, but still spendy--its was worth it though! I have been struggling with perioral dermatitis since my daughter was born, and this has definitely helped. In addition, I dabbed a little on her neck for a few days when she developed a dermatitis there at 7 weeks old. It cleared up within three days. It has a mild, pleasant, herbal scent to it and is very soothing. Use sparingly, a little bit goes a long way--which I'm thankful for at the price!
