Seborrheic Dermatitis Cream, Eczema Cream, Specifically formulated for application to Itchy Skin, Redness, & Scaling, For Face, Chest & Scalp, 2 oz

UPDATE: April 2021: Four years in and this cream is a staple. Sometimes I'll stop using it and shift to other creams only for my skin to slowly go back to its rough, flaky, red state. That's when I remember this cream and why I love it so much. I can't tell you if this will work for you, but I can tell you that nothing else helped me... not other sulfuric ointments, not salicylic acid, not super "clean" products formulated for super sensitive skin that cost way more than they should - nothing. This cream works for me. A single tube, even with daily use, lasts me easily six months or so, so it's an economical buy to try out. Whether it's this product or another, I hope you find something that works for your skin!! UPDATE: June 20th, 2019: This is still a must-have for me. It's the only thing that helps keep my skin free of scaly patches and all sorts of redness. At this point I just mix it into my moisturizer right before applying and it "melts" into my skin perfectly and without drying me out. Really fantastic product - literally the only thing I've found that works so well. UPDATE: April 16th, 2018: This cream is still working for me! I've been pairing it with a gentle salicylic acid scrub and an oil-free moisturizer, and the change in my skin is amazing. Mixing the cream with the moisturizer works just as well and seems to help me avoid some of the dry-skin issues that can crop up. I highly recommend it! -------- I purchased this cream on September 25, 2017, and have been using it ever since it arrived. It's been a fixed presence in my skincare routine for about four months, in other words, so I feel like I've used it long enough to leave an accurate review. I adore this stuff, to put it simply. My skin used to be very easy to take care of - acne wasn't an issue, I didn't need a lot of skincare products to keep it clear... it was just sort of naturally fine. Not amazing, mind you, but there were no significant issues until a few years ago. I don't know what happened, but my skin went crazy and has never really recovered. More specifically, I've been dealing with patches of flakey, scaley rashes/acne (it seems like both, to be honest), particularly across my forehead, above my eyebrows, down my nose, and around my mouth. This has been a nightmare for me. I've tried so many creams and lotions trying to find something that would calm my skin down. I even went off of all skincare products for several months to rule out an allergic reaction to something, but there was little change. So. I've spent a lot of time over the years trying to figure out what is wrong with my face. Finally I decided to try an option for seborrheic dermatitis. The symptoms and pictures fit, and I really didn't have anything to lose. To be quite frank, I didn't expect this to work at all. You guys, it worked so well. When you read reviews and people say that there was an "immediate" change, you roll your eyes, right? How dramatic - not to mention impossible, since your skin takes around a month to fully acclimate to a product... so even if something seems like it's a good option at first, it might end up being worse for your skin after a few weeks. I'm going to say the following even though I'm fully aware of the reaction these words would inspire within me: there was an almost immediate change in my skin when I began using this cream. And when I say "almost immediate", I mean that I used it at night, went to bed, and when I woke up the next day my face was significantly less red and less flakey and just looked healthier and clearer. I don't know exactly what it is in this cream that works for me - maybe the sulfur. It's been working for me consistently since the first night I used it, so whatever is in it works well for my skin. It doesn't turn my skin into a porcelain mask or anything - it's not flawless. But the difference between how it was before and how it is now is night and day. With all of that said, there are a few things you should be aware of when making the decision to purchase (or not) this cream. It does smell like sulfur. No one aside from me is able to smell it once it's on my face, and it's not overwhelmingly strong. I can smell it a bit even after it is on my face. Again, it's not an overwhelming scent and doesn't bother me. This cream does dry out my skin. To help combat this, I've been using a gentle facial scrub in the shower, using this cream when I get out, and then covering my face with an oil-free moisturizer for sensitive skin. This combination leaves my skin softer than I ever remember it being. That's it, to be honest - there aren't many downsides to this product for me. I'm still on the same tube I originally purchased - a tiny bit of this really does go a long way. As long as I stay up on moisturizing my face every day, my skin feels hydrated. If you're dealing with some of the same issues I described above, then I'd recommend trying this cream. It's not cost-prohibitive to do so, and it seems like it really does work wonders for at least some of us. I know it's not a well-known skincare brand and you might be wary of the integrity of the reviews, but it just works so well... give it a shot if you're so inclined.

I have been battling seborrheic dermatitis for as long as I can remember. I have always been amazed at how little progress there has been toward finding a real solution. Every treatment I tried only reduced the itching and burning for a short time. Nothing ever truly worked. As I have gotten older, my seb derm has only become worse. It has been on my face for the past 15 years. What used to be flare ups has turned into a constant, permanent flare with no relief. This cream is on another level. I received it yesterday, washed my face, and applied it to the affected areas. There was a slight burn at first, but the effect was immediate. My skin cleared up almost like a miracle. I still cannot believe that three ingredients I have used separately with little success, sulphur, salicylic acid, and hydrocortisone, could work so powerfully when combined. Yes, the smell is unpleasant. I will gladly take it over the itching, burning, scaling, and the emotional toll of feeling like I cannot hide my face. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again. A word of caution. This cream contains hydrocortisone, and it is important not to use topical hydrocortisone daily for more than two weeks. In general, long term or excessive use of topical hydrocortisone can lead to skin thinning, increased irritation, changes in skin color, and a higher risk of skin infections. These are the last things I need at my age, so I plan to use this carefully and sparingly. To keep my skin stable, I am going to balance this treatment with gentle face washes that contain salicylic acid and an oil free moisturizer for sensitive skin. I use La Roche Posay Toleriane, which is the only moisturizer my face tolerates. My hope is to slowly reduce how often I apply the cream and eventually keep it to once a week or so.
