Effective but slightly greasy
I purchased this for my brother, who has been suffering from eczema and psoriasis for over a decade, and he's never been able to find a product that works for him for longer than a few weeks. The product had already leaked and wasn't packed properly when it arrived, so the sides of the jar were extremely greasy. Absorption is great - it looks like the skin drinks it right up, if applied nominally. I can't speak to long-term effects yet, but there is an immediate reduction in redness and flakiness. Itching does not subside.

Highly recommend! Lifesaver for sensitive dry eczema
Bought this with their face wash, no regrets. My sensitive, peeling eczema face was getting red and uncomfortable (not to mention peeling no matter what special Derm sample products I tried). This is THICK. A little goes a long way. I pat it into my face and dry eczema patches after using the face wash. It lasts awhile, love that it contains aloe. My redness and literal peeling nose, cheek and chin are 80% better after using 2wks. Immediately felt better with first use. Cannot really use under makeup! This is heavy and a bedtime product.

It does work!
My child was diagnosed with severe eczema and takes the Dupixent shot once a month. He had to stop it for a month before and a month after in order to take his live MMR vaccine. This cream is the first one we have used the actually works. He will still have to get back on his shots, but for a baby with mild to moderate eczema, this might do the trick! Tried it on myself in a few spots and could tell a difference overnight.

Works but packaging is not good,
This stuff really helped my daughter's eczema so I ordered again but when I took the film off the container the jar was oily. I opened the jar and the seal was completely off, stuck to the top of the lid and there was specks that weren't in the last jar. I'm pretty disappointed.

Temporary relief well worth it.
4 stars only because this has not cleared up my 1 year olds eczema in days like the ads say. It IS a great product though. We have gone through almost 3 jars in a week and a half, the skin just seems to soak it in. It has dramatically improved the inflammation and flaky-ness but unfortunately the deep itch persists. We have safely used it on eyelids. It does have an interesting smell to it, I don't mind it but my 9 year old comments on it every time it's used. Product works well enough and provides temporary relief that we've purchased other items from the shop.
