"I'm from the Philippines, and this cream has been recommended by the pediatrician of my 3-week-old daughter, who had skin allergy/eczema possibly from the mussels I ate and passed on to her through my breastmilk since I'm exclusively breastfeeding. After she took a bath, I applied a very small amount on the affected area (both arms), to which she reacted a little bit since this ointment can have a mild burning sensation. After a few minutes, the oozing area was dry, and the redness was fading. I'm very glad this ointment is effective since it's quite expensive."

"This is a great lotion for eczema, but it tends to get used to the skin after about half the bottle, which results in you having to get a new one or a different product."

"Probably the best steroid for atrophy. It has a very safe security profile and soothes even deep inflammation. Works great for me."

"This product works in a few days, is not visible on the skin, and I found no side effects. I used it twice a day, and the skin was clear in 3 days. I stopped using it then and was free of symptoms for several months. Once it started reappearing, I repeated the 3-day treatment. It comes in a 40-gram tube and lasts a long time. This was for facial treatment around the nose and above the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead."
