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

Does it have a rather abrasive smell? Yes.DOES IT WORK?Oh my goodness…YES.I wish I had before and after pics. I knew what was in it, so I wasn’t surprised by the smell of it. What surprised me was that it worked.I have had SD for as long as I can remember. In my teen years and beyond it was primarily my scalp and I would get scaly patches behind my ears. As I got older, it moved to my face. I had no idea what it was until I was later in life, past my 50’s. I thought I had a sun sensitivity. I thought I had an allergy…I thought I had…Who knows what.All I knew was that I would get red down the sides of my nose, to the corners of my mouth and down my chin. It would burn. It would start to flake, it would spread.I tried creams, moisturizers, everything.Nothing worked permanently. I could ease it for a bit but it always came back.On my own, I started doing research and figured out what I had.I was horrified to learn there was no cure, nothing I could do except suffer in silence.Until now.This is NOT a “moisturizer” that’s why my rating is so low. I don’t know why that’s listed as something you rate, when that’s NOT what this is for.I rated the scent low…because yes, it has a strong, sulphuric smell. It’s not pleasant but it’s also not something I can’t work with.When I got it, I was in the middle of a vicious outbreak.I use “Simple” face wipes for sensitive skin to clean my face. I immediately cleaned my face and with just the tip of my finger, I put a tiny dab on my face and caught my breath because my skin was raw and it stung. I gritted my teeth and kept working, one tiny dab at a time. A very little of this goes a long way.For those complaining that it doesn’t “soak in” my question would be, how much are you using? If you glop it on like a moisturizer, yes, you’re going to have problems because it will look like you put on white clown makeup or zinc ointment. A tiny dab will do. Work with just the tip of your finger and gently wipe it on to the affected area. Dab it on and gently smooth it around. It will disappear into your skin.Keep working it in a little at a time. I can’t speak for anyone else but that first day I used it 3 times…and it stung. Each time, I cleaned my face and put it on again. Fortunately, I wasn’t working that day although I did the next day. The next day, I went through the routine and while my face was still very red, the flaking had stopped and the stinging was minimal. I told the kids I teach that I had medicine on my face to help with the problem I have and that it didn’t smell very nice. They all smiled and said it was okay, they hoped it helped my “sunburn”. (That’s what they call it. They know it’s a rash, but they always said it looked like I was sunburned).By the 3rd day, I could see improvement. The worst spots were still red but the “blistery” look I always had was gone. The other parts were fading.4th day…all bright red, raw skin was healed, no flakes…redness on outer part was markedly faded.By the end of a week…totally gone.Totally.Skin looked normal.I looked in the mirror and cried.The kids I teach were all crowded around me telling me how nice I looked!They said the medicine smell didn’t bother them at all.That night I skipped the cream. Just cleaned my face.In the morning, no red splotches or flakes. I went through my day. No outbreak.That night, I cleaned my face before bed and used a tiny amount. In the morning I cleaned my face and had no smell and no SD.That’s been my routine ever since. I’ve been doing this for a month now. I go 1-2 days without using it…then AT NIGHT I use a tiny bit on the area by my nose where it always starts.Not one outbreak in a month.Okay…here’s a heads up. I use a My Pillow that can be washed and I did wash it to get the smell out since I’m a side sleeper and my face is on the pillow. You can buy a plastic pillow protector that zips on and I HIGHLY suggest you do that if you sleep with your face in the pillow. Put 2 pillow cases on your pillow, especially if you have a pillow that can’t be washed or needs to be dry cleaned.The plastic pillow protector can be wiped off with a damp cloth and you can use some soap if you need to, to get the smell off. If you double-case your pillow on top of that, you’re good. You can change the pillow cases as needed, even every night and toss the others in the wash. I could go 2-3 days and then I’d switch the inner case with the outer. It smelled faintly but I could go another couple of days. Toss those two in the wash…wipe down the pillow…start again.Being as how my pillow is washable and I generally washed it about once a month when I would wash the blankets…(I have a cat and a dog…the dog doesn’t sleep on the bed, but the cat does) my sheets and pillow cases usually get changed once a week, the blankets and bedspread would go a month. I’d toss my pillow into the wash along with everything else when I washed blankets.That’s the same schedule I keep now, if only because the “fill” of my pillow plumps up better after a wash.Anyway…protect your pillow if you sleep with your face in it.It works, it works, it works.I knew when I tried it that it MIGHT not work for me. Not everything works for everyone. I had read the reviews and knew it hadn’t worked for some people. I read the reviews carefully. I had also lived with this dreadful condition for years. I won’t go into the horrors I suffered over the years, because the story is the same as so many you can read here in the reviews. It’s miserable.Is this a miracle cure?It might not be for you.But it was for me.Thank you so much to the developers. That’s such a small word…but it’s all I can say.From the bottom of my heart…thank you.

I’m a bit angry. I have spent decades going to the dermatologist for my Seborrheic dermatitis. Basically, I have been bathing in hydrocortisone and ketoconazol. They helped but never really helped. So I started doing my own research to finally fix this myself. I ran across this bottle and was like “it must be gimmicky”. But since it said “Seborrheic dermatitis” on the bottle and it’s inexpensive, I’ll play Russian roulette and see what happens.This stuff fixed my skin on day 1. I took a loofa to get the flakes off(knowing it would turn me red) but I wanted my skin as empty as possible. Then applied the cream and within an hour my skin looked perfect. The redness from my rosacea was gone too. I can’t believe how something so simple can stop something so quickly.You still have to cleanse your skin well. But after you do, and then add the cream you’ll be in heaven. My skin usually starts to tighten up and feel like a shell. That’s when I know it’s about to push out all that crap. I haven’t had that feeling since I’ve started. I’m not saying it won’t come back because I haven’t used it long enough to say that. But I will say you need this in your arsonal of skin care. It’s freaking insane how well it worksMy doctor is going to get a mouthful when next I see him. How a dermatologist doesn’t know about this is simply ludicrous.Thank you for this product. It’s changed my life.Also, not sure why the photos are sideways. They just uploaded that way.Update: I posted this on June 20th, 2020 and Now it's 3/10/2021. So I feel like I can give an honest update and a thorough one. I was using the cream daily, twice a day actually, and it was heaven. Whenever I started to try and reduce my usage I could feel the junk accumulating under my skin and ready to push itself out. So I'd hurry and apply more cream and it would prevent it from happening. I know I am not a doctor so I'm going to describe everything on what I felt it was doing. It may not actually be doing what I'm saying but it FELT that way. Yes, it did burn around the eyes a little, where the skin was at its thinnest. But it felt like that burning sensation was actually killing the problem. Like a cleanser. So I dealt with that sensation, and it lasted about a minute, and then it was fine. What I did to combat that was bought a seborrheic dermatitis night cream. The front of the bottle just says Manuka Honey (in a square) and then Seborrheic Dermatitis Face Cream (on Amazon), It's all organic and it's perfect to apply to the eyes at night(it's a little thick), but it relieves that burning sensation. For added relief, keep it in the refrigerator and the coldness will also help in alleviating any minor burning sensation. As a face wash in the shower, I used DEFENSE anti-fungal soap and then Zinc therapy soap by DERMAHARMONY. After, adding the daily soaps, once in the morning and once in the evening, I realized that I could reduce the amount of cream I was using. The soaps seemed to be working as the maintenance that is keeping the seborrheic dermatitis away. I use the cream once or twice a week now. Unless I get lazy, and then a break-out occurs, then it's back to a solid 5 days of the cream to kill whatever is growing back. So, wash your face daily with the soaps(they each last me a few months since they're face only). Then apply the cream, and use the thicker cream previously mentioned if you feel like your eyes are irritated or dry. I rarely ever have an issue now. It was a daily struggle. This cream is an angel in my opinion. Thanks to whoever created this. It truly changed my mental health as well. As long as I follow the regimen I mentioned, I don't even have to worry about breakouts anymore. It's like I don't even have a problem at all. Anyone can feel free to reach out if they have any questions for me. I know just how horrible it can be and there's really no need to go through it anymore. This cream is everything. Please try it. I hate that anyone has to go through this horrible skin problem. Kerrychad IG.

This cream works very well. It’s effective and fast acting. I have light flaking around my nose. After researching, I found that it was likely seborrheic dermatitis. I bought this because it’s cheap. It worked almost immediately. Once it went away, I found that I can use it less frequently.I'm learning that the light flaking on my forehead that is noticeable when I wear makeup is likely related, as is the redness on my nose. Today is the first day that I’ve applied it to my entire face, and my skin already looks so much better.But yes… it does stink.It smells like dandruff shampoo, which makes sense because this contains the same active ingredients. Since I put it on my nose, I do smell it all day. I’ve been considering putting it on at night instead of in the morning so I maybe won’t smell it sooo strongly. I really hate the scent.I’m looking into other creams with different active ingredients and I have found some options but they seem to be more expensive. Until I find a less smelly replacement that is as effective as this product (and believe me, I’m looking lol) I will continue to use this product religiously.
