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 have been using Eucrisa for 2 years, but I am giving up on it. I stopped using it on my face a month ago. Eucrisa seems to do nothing. My face is actually better off without using it. I was blending it in with my moisturizer to use on my face and neck every day, but a few hours afterward my face and neck were always getting very red. I am less red overall when I don't use it. It didn't burn much at all, but it doesn't work."

For Atopic Dermatitis "The dermatologist provided the idea of a new drug approved recently that has had great results, as known as Eucrisa. During that time, I had a major outbreak of eczema (atopic dermatitis) on my arms, neck, and face (eyelids, around my eyes, upper lip), etc. I tried the samples, and it burned at a rate I could not handle, especially on my facial area. I have had more pleasure using steroid creams than this “non-steroid” Eucrisa. Did it calm down my major outbreak? Sure. But since then, I have had redness on and off on my face that Eucrisa cannot solve, along with a steroid cream. I was somewhat pleased initially, but long term it really doesn’t fix, just temporarily masks the issue. Just like the rest on here, the search continues for relief."

For Atopic Dermatitis "Horrible experience. Had mild redness on my cheeks after using this cream. My face was a brighter red. I had hives and a bad reaction. Will never use this product again."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I started using Eucrisa two days ago on my eyelids. It is burning so bad and very red. I haven’t noticed much of a difference yet, but I don’t know if I will continue to try it."
