"Review is for hydrocortisone 1% ointment only. Target Up & Up brand, 2 oz, $6. Ointments are more potent than cream versions, especially if you use some kind of dressing or salicylic acid (I never tried both). I used this on my body, but it has a significant effect on my ear dermatitis, cleared up the flakiness and dryness. But doesn't stop the itching, though. This ointment is extremely greasy because of the petroleum."

Hydrocortisone topical "Good moisturizer. Smells bad, though."

Hydrocortisone topical "I have been using Kirkland's generic hydrocortisone cream, which is basically equivalent, it is far cheaper to purchase this at Costco. It's great for short-term use, but not for long-term for my atopic dermatitis. Less effective if the rashes are leaking serous fluid/weeping - you need prescription-strength medication. I used it on my face because atopic dermatitis regularly crops up on there. It clears it up in a few days of use, but your eczema/AD rashes will almost come back in a matter of days if you're complacent on treatment. Also, because cortisone, it is not recommended on the face for long-term treatment. I have noticed parts of my face have become softer than other parts of my skin, it's a potential side effect if used long-term, so be warned. Skin atrophy can happen with steroid weak as cortisone, but requires months of use."
