My daughter has eczema, and suffers particularly badly with it on her ears. We have tried lots of different brands, and this is the only one which has made a difference!

She uses the cream daily, and we began to see improvements within a week. After a month of using it, she is began to feel less conscious of the eczema on her ears, and felt her skin felt softer and less irritated. However, like others have mentioned, she did experience a burning sensation when she used the cream during a flare up. We now avoid using it when her skin is particularly sore (we stick to the normal doublebase then) and use this one as a daily cream.

It isn’t a miracle cream, but it has boosted her confidence.

*Update* Unfortunately this cream has now stopped working for me.

Undiagnosed skin problems that the Dr’s say ‘look like eczema’ but did not investigate further. The steroid cream they prescribed made it worse but this is helping the issue. Hasn’t taken it away but controlled the itch/soreness. Has a rather strange smell though that permeates through clothing

I've been having dry painful skin on my neck and around my eyes and decided to try this product. It stings on application, which is normal for most products when applied on these dry areas. It does help with the itching, however the skin is just as dry and unpleasant the next day.

The product itself has no smell but is extremely greasy. After finishing application, it looks and feels like i just applied oil to my skin. I think mineral oil would do the same thing and it seems to be one of the main ingredients in this product.

Keeps psoriasis moisturised, but doesn’t seem to anything beyond that. Psoriasis will flare up the very next day.
