For Atopic Dermatitis "I can't remember the last time I cried before using Eucrisa. I now can point out the exact date. May 15, 2019. Today was the 5th application, and holy moly, my eyeballs had flames protruding from them for the last 10 minutes. I had some odd swelling, redness, and irritation on both eyelids and below the eye. I put Eucrisa on them and was happy that it alleviated the symptoms with little discomfort. Until today... My symptoms were raw, just like my flaming eyelids. This may be the source of the most pain I have experienced for 8 minutes. I closed my eyes, fanned with my hands, put a water bottle on them, and hoped it didn't blind me if it made its way down. It didn't, and I still have the gift of sight. Eucrisa is very effective but feels like hemorrhoids on your eyes (if this is where you are affected). The pain lets you know it is working. Again, the first 6 applications were tolerable. I paid $10 for this giant tube of flames with a coupon."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I've had eczema my entire life. For as long as I can remember, I've been itchy. You name it, I've tried it. From all-natural remedies to every prescription cream, ointment, and pill. I've only been using this ointment for 2 days, and I noticed a difference within hours. The itching is completely gone, and my skin is noticeably softer (to me at least). I didn't have any irritation or pain on the affected sites. So far, I'm very pleased. I'm using it as a free trial from my dermo, and she and I are both hoping it's a game changer that will soon be covered by insurance."

For Atopic Dermatitis "My 8-year-old daughter has had severe atopic dermatitis and eczema, exacerbated by allergies, almost her whole life. It's so severe that her skin is consistently like raw meat, cracked open, and bleeds. This medicine says not to use on irritated skin. Is that a joke? Because the condition it claims to treat is, in fact, what it says to not use it on. Adding further insult is the excruciating pain that comes along with the treatment. My daughter says she'd rather deal with the bullying, torment, unsightlyness, itching, irritation, pain, and bleeding than use this medicine. How sad they develop a medicine that causes more pain than it's worth for children. I thought perhaps my daughter's struggles would be cured. Back to the drawing board, folks."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Works quickly, better than any over-the-counter or Rx eczema steroid I've ever had. It doesn't burn or cause irritation on my hands, my most troublesome area. I love this stuff, tbh."
