"I bought Eucerin because some doctor said it is good for dry skin and eczema. I noticed that I've been having itch all over my body with some rash/little bumps for weeks. I couldn't even sleep. It was so bad! I thought I had bed bugs in my bed or I ate something that triggered some unknown allergies. But nope! After observing for days of using the product vs. another cream/lotion, I figured out that Eucerin was the culprit. So sad and mad about it at the same time."

"I bought this thinking it would be mild. I have used another variation of it in the past without issues. I think I have used this for about a week and noticed my top eyelids are red, and now dry patches are itchy and swollen. I am assuming it has to be the cleanser. I hope it goes away without having to go to the doctor. My eyelids actually hurt. Never again will I use this product."

"As a recent (1 yr) below-the-knee amputee, the sweating I suffer between my residual limb and my gel liner is a constant struggle. Constant washing off my stump causes severe dry skin issues. Used Eucerin after cleansing, this would cause a minor burning sensation, leading to my stump becoming red and irritated, looking like a strawberry. Stopped using Eucerin, applied 'Sween 24' from Coloplast, redness subsided."

"I have been using CeraVe for almost 3 weeks. I liked it the first few days, and then I got some dry patches on my cheeks and forehead. I kept using the moisturizing cream, thinking it would help. A few days ago, my eyes got puffy and the dry spots worse, and today my face felt like it was on fire. I was miserable and made a trip to a First Care Clinic since it is Saturday. I got a steroid shot and am feeling better. She thought it was the CeraVe moisturizer."

"I have sensitive skin and thought I would try CeraVe moisturizing lotion, as I had read good things about the brand. It didn't seem to cause any problems initially, but I have now developed an itchy, inflamed red rash over my entire face. There is nothing on the packaging to suggest it could be irritating to some people. I will not use it again."

"PRODUCT: JERGENS NATURAL GLOW WET SKIN MOISTURIZER. After my first application, my skin appeared more tan-I was happy with the results. After my 2nd application, I developed itchiness around my neck, back of my neck, and the inside of my forearms. I’m now day 5 after the 1st application, and the itchiness is extremely severe and feels extremely tight. I now have large dried blotchy spots with the appearance of red, old-looking, wrinkled skin. I now have to avoid the outdoors due to the burning and itching that’s intensified with perspiration because it’s too much to bear. I am now seeking medical attention. This product should’ve never made “the shelf” with the slightest possibility of causing a reaction such as this. I’m left with old-looking, wrinkly, itchy, red skin and now facing doctor bills."

"I have been an eczema sufferer all of my life. For the most part, I am eczema-free now, except for my eyelids and intermittent body flares. I had been using Protopic, which worked very well, except I had a sensitivity to an inactive ingredient, which caused large cysts on my eyebrow area that were painful. I was given trial samples of EpiCeram to use. Quite honestly, I do not find it helpful. The Protopic would clear my skin in 1-2 applications (along with the steroids for my body), whereas EpiCeram I would apply twice a day for an entire week and saw no improvement. In fact, I had a rash on my chest that I was applying the EpiCeram to, and it seemed to make it worse. I used it on my face and broke out with small pimples and blotchy."

"I got a tattoo on my lower leg. An area of it that was directly over my shin bone became an open wound after the skin peeled off. My derm gave me samples of Biafine and told me to apply it twice daily. I am amazed at the healing after only 3 days of application! The cream soothes the pain and promotes healing rapidly! I think whoever invented it should receive an award, as I have never had such a rapid and significant response to a medication. I highly recommend it...ask your derm about it. (P.S. - I am an RN with 35 years of experience.)"

"I used the Gold Bond Ultimate Healing product, and I got a rash and itching to the point of bleeding on my hands, arms, chest, neck, and face. It was a terrible reaction to the product. My 103 yr. old mother used it and experienced similar reactions to it. After the reaction, I immediately washed it off my mother and me. She healed after about a week, and it's taken over a month for my skin to heal. I couldn't go out and socialize with friends because I looked terrible. But my hands and arms are sensitive, and my hands and arms are no longer sensitive. I can no longer wash dishes with dish soap without them getting itchy. The skin on my hands looks rough, and the texture is not the same as it was before I used GB lotion. I've never had a reaction to lotions and creams before using the Gold Bond."

"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."

"I seem to be the rare exception, but I used Mederma for approximately five days, and by day five, I had a golf ball-size round area that looks like millions of raised, angry red bumps. They are very rough to the touch, and so far, after stopping all product application, have not reduced in size, but the redness is more of a bright pink now."

"I purchased the Blistex strawberry coconut lip smoothies as a part of a 3-pack. After using it, my lips turned bright red, burned, are hot to touch, itchy, and very swollen. I’ve put ice on them, but it’s been two days and hasn’t gotten any better. The other scents/flavors in the pack didn’t give me this reaction. I really think there is something wrong because this is the second time this happened after using the strawberry one."

"I always had hormonal pimples, but my skin wasn't dry or oily. Since using Cetaphil, my forehead is extremely oily and broken out in small pimples. My face burns when I use the cleanser, but I have never had sensitive skin, so I am unsure what is happening."

"I rubbed the lotion into the hands as you would any skin lotion. The skin on my hands immediately felt a burning sensation. My knuckles swelled. I washed my hands and put them under running cold water. It's been 15 minutes, and the burning has gone away. My knuckles still look swollen but are calming down. Eucerin is an OTC skincare cream. This is the first time I used it."

"I was dismissed after 35 radiation treatments on my left lower leg with a huge gaping wound. (Severe radiation burn. About nine inches long, four inches wide, and probably a half inch deep on top of the left lower leg.) The radiation doctor told me to put Aquaphor on the enormous wound. What a joke. Aquaphor did absolutely nothing to help the wound. (My leg had been treated after surgery to remove a sarcoma.) Went straight home to my computer and looked up 'heal radiation burns' on Amazon. Found Biafine immediately. It completely healed that big wound in one week. AMAZING."

"I opened a new tube of the Blistex Fruit Smoothies on Sunday. I have gotten up the last 3 days with extremely swollen, red, burning lips. I'm not sure which ingredient is the problem. I have used Blistex products for years with no side effects. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE BLISTEX FRUIT SMOOTHIES!!"

"I have psoriasis on both elbows and one leg. I have tried everything under the sun and meds from the doctor for two years. I went in a store and thought, heck, it can't hurt to try this. I did, and within a day of using the Bag Balm, it was clearing up the psoriasis. This is now my new best friend. So far, so good on day two now, I am itch-free and dry skin is going away."

"My cheeks became puffy and bright red. Maybe it was the hyaluronic acid. Checked out online ratings, this product is very low: 1.4/10. Disappointing that CeraVe would put this product on the market. Look for something else to use on my face after shaving and shower to keep face from drying out."

"I tried CeraVe at the urging of my mother, who felt that it was a good lotion for hydration, however, my personal experience was that it was a bit greasy and did not soak into the skin well and definitely didn't last very long before needing to be reapplied. I bought it and used it once. I only kept the bottle in case my mother comes over and requests it. Otherwise, I would have just thrown it away. Deeply disappointed."

"I bought this cream with hopes of replacing an oil I was using that seemed to be clogging my pores. I applied the lotion before I went to bed, and when I woke up in the morning, my entire face was swollen and burned with a rash. I would NOT recommend this product. I have discontinued use of the cream, however, I'm still trying to get my skin back to its natural state."

"I used the Blistex Fruit Smoothies Strawberry Coconut chapstick last night and woke up with red, itchy, swollen lips. This has happened to me before, and I thought maybe something was going on with me. I went to urgent care because my lips were swollen for almost a week and they hurt. They couldn’t find anything wrong with me. Here, after last night and remembering I used this chapstick, I go and check to see if anyone has ever had a reaction to it, and I see all these reviews with people experiencing the same issue. Why is this still being sold in the stores? My throat was itchy as well. I would not recommend this brand to anyone."

"All the comments are true. I used it for the first time about a year ago, and my lips were swollen and hot. I threw them out. I decided to purchase a 3-pack again in another state, and within 2 days, my lips were feeling the same. However, this time I looked it up and found all of these posts. Is there a recall? It should be pulled off the shelves! Don’t buy it!!!"

"I bought this product because it was on my dermatologist's list of non-comedogenic cleansers she approved of. I used it, and I felt this weird burning sensation, and afterwards, my skin itched. I thought it was just because I was using a new cleanser. Every day, I would notice my skin texture was getting rougher than before. I thought it was my prescribed medicine. On the fifth day, my face broke out in hives and redness, and it itched so bad, and it began to peel off at my chin. I then knew it was the cleanser because my medicine I'd been using a month prior never had side effects on my skin like this. Luckily, I caught it in less than a week and not months."

"Used orange mango SPF 15 Blistex, and it made my lips red, swollen, itchy, and a burning sensation. Felt like I had Botox or something, lips were bigger than normal. And all I wanted was to prevent dry, chapped lips, instead, I got Botox-looking lips. Going on day 3, and they’re still the same! Horrible product! I didn’t expect this outcome! DO NOT BUY! Shame on Blistex for not fully researching the effects of this product!"
