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 "I used this lotion on my hands and elbows for dry skin. Within minutes, I broke out in hives all over my body. It was itching uncontrollably, and my face, eyes, lips, and hands swelled up like a balloon. I ended up in the ER with an epinephrine shot. This product needs to be taken off shelves. Hypoallergenic???? False advertising. Want to rate 0/10."

For Dry Skin "I love this cream! I have extremely dry skin on my body. It itches-terrible. This is the only cream that gives me relief. I apply it daily all over, and problem solved!! It's affordable. I get it at the Dollar Store. I wish it smelled a bit better, but I can live with it because it works so well."

For Dry Skin "I give this product a nine-at least. I have excess dry skin on my legs and arms. Sometimes it's so dry that I itch. This lotion is the only thing I have found that actually works and keeps working throughout the day. I apply a nice coat over my legs and arms daily. No more dry skin or itchiness. It's easy to find and affordable. I've even found it in the Dollar Store. I recommend trying it as a body lotion...it really works!!!"

"My son has extreme eczema, and I have literally bought him everything under the sun. One day, I purchased Dermasil at the dollar store intended for after dishwashing. My son asked if he could try it because he was itching, and there was nothing else in the house. He loved it, and it helps tremendously for his itching. That was 7 years ago, and he has been using it ever since."
