For Vaginal Dryness "I used Replens for 2 months, and initially had no side effects from it, used it for postmenopausal vaginal dryness, recommended by my gyno. Last week, I started to feel like I was going to have a period start, after peeing, I wiped and saw clear discharge with a brown tinge to it. I have to say prior to this, for about 2 weeks, I was noticing a white type of discharge, no smell, consistency of wet toilet paper, which is what I thought it was at first. After reading these reviews and many others, I now know it was not that. I have mild cramping like that of a period and am still spotting. Currently, it does seem to be subsiding, at least I hope so. Stopped using about 5 days ago, and really, I should have stopped using it when the white stuff appeared. I knew it was the Replens that made all this happen. Would not recommend this stuff to anyone."

For Vaginal Dryness "Works very well for me. Used only 3 times so far. I insert with the long plastic applicator, already set up, just squeeze the cream. I use Thursday morning or evening, lasts well. I use once a week, just so I can have comfortable weekend sex! So I use just once a week. I am experiencing an itchy clitoris, feels as if I have thrush. Is this common?"

For Vaginal Dryness "So, first time buying Replens and first time using this. I too wished I had read reviews. Not even time for my period for two more weeks, and I’m cramping like a period is fixing to start. I had string-like discharge to now white, rubbery-like chunks and balls. Yuck! Bad decision. Product isn’t what I had expected at all. Won’t be using again. I tried washing everything out of me, but I’m still steadily cramping."

For Dry Skin "I have suffered from eczema all over my face, neck, and upper body. Nothing worked, and I had to moisturize every 15-30 minutes throughout the day. Two years ago, I stopped using topical steroids and had a serious rebound effect of worsening eczema. Since then, it's been manageable but has never improved. I've tried changing my diet, going organic, using different moisturizers, bleach baths, Bactroban, etc. It was hard to get the prescription as this is a product that not many doctors are familiar with. In two weeks, I almost finished the 90g tube, but my skin improved so much! My face is baby smooth. I could go for 8 hours without moisturizer! I finally have hope again. It still itches, but the skin quality has drastically improved. There were no side effects. And no more steroids!"

"Replens was recommended to me by my gynecologist for vaginal dryness/atrophy. Although it provided relief, the day after inserting it, I developed this very strange white, tissue-like vaginal discharge, together with burning and redness. The doctor said that my symptoms were not from the Replens, so I continued using it, but the side effects continued. I have since learned that the tissue discharge is a common side effect for many women."

For Dry Skin "I have used Dermasil lotion, from the Dollar Tree, day and night versions, for years, using most days. Since 2006, I have been having VERY bad allergic reactions (very swollen, red, itchy, scaly, peeling DRY, tight skin on my upper eyelids and below! Then determined I was allergic to shellac, an ingredient in mascara. But the issue keeps coming back even though I haven't worn mascara in over 5 years! In early December 2020, I FiNALLY stopped using Dermasil, to see what would happen, after a very bad 4-week bout, and magically, in one day of no use, my facial/eye area was almost back to being ME! Will never be using this product again."

For Dry Skin "Started using Cetaphil face cleanser in January 2021, and till this time never snapped that the cleanser was giving me red, swollen, itchy, very dry eyes and some pain. Lips also chapped and swollen. Went to see a specialist, and he asked what I have been using new to my face. Felt like an idiot when I snapped it’s the freaking Cetaphil. Came home and threw the product in the trash and now taking meds to recover."

For Dry Skin "I’ve used Raspberry Lemonade Blistex for a year now with no problem. Two months ago, I developed raw skin around my lips (on my skin) plus chapped lips. They cracked and burned for three weeks. I didn’t make the connection to the Blistex as I was also using other lip balms. I finally stopped all products, and they healed in a week. Just today, I applied the raspberry Blistex, and in one hour, I had bright red skin around my mouth. I found my allergy trigger! I love the taste, and I’m pretty bummed. I’m curious to know which ingredient is giving me the reaction in case it’s in other products."

For Vaginal Dryness "Thankfully, I found this thread and found that many others had a similar experience with this Replens cream, or I would have thought that I was the problem. I have used it before a few years ago with no issues whatsoever. It worked like a charm. This time, however, a different story. The burning started within a few minutes and was extremely uncomfortable. I had to apply a cold compress to get some relief... it burnt for about an hour. It’s obvious that this product has changed and should be removed from store shelves. I certainly will not be trying another dose and fully intend on returning it for a refund."

For Dry Skin "Used CeraVe as I heard it was good for sensitive/dry/eczema-prone skin. After a couple of days of using the cleanser and moisturizer, my face and neck broke out in tiny red itchy bumps ALL OVER. It wasn't patches, it was a rash completely covering my skin - never had anything like it before. I stopped using immediately. Solved it by washing my skin with only water for the next week or so and used hydrocortisone cream mixed in with my Aveeno moisturizer all over the affected area. So disappointed, but obviously some products don't work for everyone. I suggest you take care and patch test if you're considering buying!"

For Vaginal Dryness "Omg, I wished I had read the reviews on here! I’ve recently used Replens MD cream and didn’t think it was connected, but now after reading the reviews! The first time I used this, I contracted a kidney infection. Two weeks later, a uterus infection! I’m 54, post-menopausal, tried the cream for dryness, and all I got was bad abdominal cramping, a swollen abdomen, and bleeding! I’ve not bled for 8 years. These side effects need to be on the leaflet inside!"

For Dry Skin "The same experience everyone is having. I was worried there for a minute because I couldn't find any answers to why I was getting the same issues some of these ladies had. There is something in this product that is making us allergic to it. Yes, it dried out my lips so bad. Yes, they got red, swollen, and whatever chemical is in this lip balm is no good. I'm still recovering from burnt lips. This product needs to be removed immediately from every store that sells this awful product."

For Dry Skin "I have used Blistex for years and never had a problem. I tried the Orange Mango Blast and ended up having to go to a dermatologist because it just kept getting worse. I had no idea what had caused it, but when I started using the lip balm again about a month later, I had the same issue: swollen, itchy, burning lips. I will never use this again, and it should be taken off the market!"

For Dry Skin "I have suffered with atopic dermatitis (moderate-severe) for 10 years. The inflammation and itchiness have been non-stop. My skin has been red and inflamed on my face, neck, arms, hands, and most of my body. Often, my skin has become so damaged from itching and scratching that various regions of my skin have split, such as my eyelids, neck, and knuckles. I have used EpiCeram for 1 week, and all the redness has nearly cleared up, and there are no splits at all. I feel great! I can sleep comfortably. I can shower without the pain of water stinging my damaged skin. I can exercise again without sweat causing burning. I highly recommend this cream."

For Dry Skin "I have used CeraVe for my diabetic dry skin only once, and it was a disaster. The dry skin began to peel off, and my leg began to bleed, and it was painful... never again. The tube of CeraVe has no warning of these conditions, and the matter should be reported."

For Dry Skin "Bought CeraVe moisturizing cream at Costco after my dermatologist told me I have very dry skin. I’ve been using it pretty much everywhere, including my face. After a week of using daily, I woke up with hives showing up everywhere! Didn’t even think the hives were related to the new cream. Had hives again today, so I have to admit it is the culprit! Took Benadryl and will have to take another."

For Dry Skin "Found several CeraVe products in a rarely used cabinet and called to inquire about viability. Had the original boxes and stamped codes. The products were Vitamin C and Resurfacing Retinol, which contain active ingredients. I was informed they only give out beauty advice and no expiration info. Really???? Active ingredients don’t last forever and never had a company refuse that info. Told me to call corporate and gave me a number which connected to L’Oreal. No answer. Even after several tries. So that is my recent experience with CeraVe, which I have used faithfully for many years. No more. And I will spread the word."

For Dry Skin "I have been stripping my skin with high-end acids/Retin-A/over-exfoliant for years. I was extremely dry and flaky. My skin started to react to any extreme temperature or touch. I stripped the barrier of my skin, and it was always angry. My derm gave me this for dermatitis. It took a few weeks, but all my issues have disappeared. I am afraid to use anything else. It isn’t greasy, and at times I feel like I need more moisture. However, I resist adding anything more than this cream. I can’t find the reason why this is by Rx only, though?!"

For Vaginal Dryness "Every single time I use any lube, it causes issues. I'm either allergic, or it's something in it that women shouldn't put in their bodies. I even have to have dry vag exams so the Dr. doesn't use those lubes on me, even for obgyn Sonos. PLEASE FIX THIS PRODUCT! My body is fine in every way until it comes to using any lube, especially K-Y."

For Dry Skin "My partner has suffered from severe facial eczema for the past few years, far worse than she had ever experienced before. We tried everything, from dietary interventions to Elidel to various steroids. We were truly growing quite desperate, as the eczema was so severe it was limiting my partner's ability to go out, work, or even smile and laugh. EpiCeram has completely turned her condition around, to the point where the facial eczema is almost totally eliminated. The results were far beyond what I even dared hope for."

For Dry Skin "This lotion says it is hypoallergenic, yet one of the ingredients is methyllisothiazolinone, which was voted by the dermatological society as the number one allergen of 2013. It is usually used in shampoos and liquid soap, but to have it in a lotion is terrible. If you aren't allergic, you may become allergic with continued usage. Beware. This lotion has too much water in it for very dry skin. Go with a cream. The package says to recycle but isn't marked for USA recycling."

For Dry Skin "I used this Mederma for my old scar, and then after 1 day, I noticed itchiness and peeling of the skin in the area, so I thought it's normal. On the third day, I stopped using this cream. It's a nightmare! Instead of removing my scar, this Mederma only makes it worse."

For Dry Skin "I used CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser on and off for a week. After a week of finally figuring out why my neck was burning and prickly itchy, it dawned on me. I just started using CeraVe. Do not buy if you have sensitive skin. This stuff basically just burned my skin. I have huge patches of what looks like I burned my skin with scalding water on both sides of my neck. The only thing now that releases it is cool water. If not better in a week, I'll have to go to the doctor. This is awful stuff."
