For Dry Skin "Dry patches appeared on my eyelids and below my eyes, and corners of my mouth and on my forehead. Even my ear canals dried and itched like crazy. Nothing relieved the itching or red flaking patches until I used all of the Vanicream products. The soap bar was great and didn’t leave me feeling dry. The Vanicream cream was fantastic for my face. And Vanicream for hands and body replenished my skin without a rash and stopped all itching. The dermatologist prescribed Alclometasone Dipropionate as the only temporary use steroid mild enough to rid dry patches."

For Vaginal Dryness "Used this just once, and it might have relieved some dryness, but 2 days after using, experienced severe cramping, itching, and swelling, and white clumps coming out. Resorted to trying to rinse it out and using my finger to scoop some of the disgusting clumps out. Will never use this product again, remaining tubes now in the bin."

For Dry Skin "I have used the Cetaphil cleanser before, but I have never used the foam cleanser. My face became dry, red, irritated, very, very itchy, and flakes of dry skin. It was on my cheeks, neck, around my eyes, nose, and forehead."

For Dry Skin "My late husband’s back was badly broken out from radiation and chemo, which were focused on his neck. We applied Aquaphor, and by the next day, it was already showing signs of clearing up. The itching stopped as soon as I had applied it! I continued to apply it whenever his back was itchy. I now use it in the winter to moisturize my arms and legs. I love this stuff!"

"CeraVe SA cream has changed my life! It truly reduces the plaques from my psoriasis and prevents new ones from forming. My dermatologist had me start using it years ago, and it's made such a difference in my life. It softens the plaques and makes them very easy to remove. They just come right off within a few days. I use it daily, even between flares, as it keeps my skin moisturized and healthy. It drastically slowed how often I am having psoriasis even breakout. I mainly get the plaques on my feet, and just walking was very painful. But CeraVe SA has changed that! I have recommended it to others for different skin issues, and they have gotten a ton of relief as well. The CeraVe SA Rough and Bumpy skin is something I will NEVER let run out in my house. It's not cheap, but the containers last a very long time. I tried Eucerin and didn't get the relief I needed from the itching and pain, and it didn't help prevent more flares. I switched to CeraVe and immediately noticed a difference."

For Dry Skin "Was looking for a gentle cleanser. Bought Cetaphil combination oily face wash. After using a dime size to wash my face, my face felt dry and tight. Followed up with the combo moisturizer, felt weird. Gave it another go. Next day, washed face with less than a dime size and sure enough, same thing. This time, skin became dry and itchy even after a glob of their moisturizer. Now my skin looks dehydrated and bland. This face wash and moisturizer are going right back to Walmart! I was using CeraVe with okay results, was looking for something better, but this was not it. CeraVe is way better compared to moisture and hydration. Why, oh why, Cetaphil, did you mess my face up? You are supposed to be extra gentle. Good for some but definitely not for me. CeraVe, in my opinion, never dried my face as this did."

"I began using Mederma for a burn scar I had on my upper abdomen. By the second day of using it, I began itching. I thought this was normal. By the third day, the itching got worse, and the area became red and had a burning feeling. I immediately stopped using it and was still itching, and my skin felt like it was on fire day after day. It did nothing but make my scar worse. Definitely do not recommend anyone using this product. I want my money back."

"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."

For Dry Skin "Started using CeraVe on my dry legs, feet, and elbows, and by the second day I had small red, itchy bumps all over my skin. So glad I did not use it on my face. I have never had an allergic reaction to a lotion or cream. My legs look and feel sunburned. This should have a warning label. I took Benadryl to stop the itching."
