Review by Lydia Jillian:

This is miracle cream. It has healed the cracked hands and feet of three family members. I have searched for anything to help my severely cracked heels and extremely dry hands since I was a child. This did wonders within two days of using it. My husband had the same results on his knuckles. They had cracked open from dry weather. There was a huge improvement after only three aplications.

Do not be scared off by the price. If you have seriously dry skin, it is worth every penny. Only a small amount of cream is needed for each application. This tube is going to last a long time.

The other AmLactin products are very good too. But, I have never had results like this from any product before.

Review by JKZV:

First, this is a thick, moisturizing cream and I’m sure it will helps a lot of people who have not tried the Amlactin line, or who first tried the Amlactin Lotion.

I became a believer in the Amlactin product line when I tried the Amlactin 12% Body Cream in the 4.9oz tube to treat my 20-year old case of kp (keratosis pilaris – rough, raised bumps on outer arms and thighs). After only 3 days of twice-daily application, my kp was 90% improved. After 2 weeks, it was completely *gone*. In addition, my seriously cracked heels and fingers were completely healed, too.

I thought that if the regular Amlactin was this good, the XL had to be even better, right? It wasn’t for me, at least. I had gotten to a once-a-day maintenance routine with the regular cream but when I switched to the XL, I had to go back to twice-a-day application and my heels started showing signs of cracking again. Now I’m finishing off the XL tube as a hand cream only and I switched back to the regular Amlactin cream for my arms and feet. Again, I was able to go back to a once-a-day regimen.

I couldn’t find the percentage of ammonium lactate (the main ingredient) on the XL tube, but the regular cream tube is clearly marked with the 12% potency. It makes me wonder if the ammonium lactate percentage is smaller on the XL because it is combined with other active ingredients – and perhaps my skin doesn’t need those other ingredients as much as it needs the ammonum lactate.

I agree that the XL might work better than the Amlactin *lotion* (in the bottle) since the lotion seems to evaporate more quickly due to its thinner consistency. I do use the regular lotion on my face and any large, less-dry areas that I want to moisturize and it works great that way. It’s not too oily for my combination facial skin and more economical to use on large areas since it spreads more easily and comes in a larger bottle.

For me, the Amlactin Moistuizing Body Cream in the 4.9oz tube is the most effective on my kp and cracked heels/fingertips and the Amlactin XL was just not as good. Oh, and these lotions do smell of ammonia, which is why some reviews say they smell like urine. I find that the smell is not as strong and fades quickly if my skin is dry, rather than wet, when I apply it. If you put on lotion after bathing/showering, you might want to towel off well and wait a few minutes before applying it to minimize the ammonia smell. I hope this helps anyone who is having a problem with the scent.

I’ve tried Retin-A, Lac-Hydrin 5, and a slew of other useless products over the years without near the results I get from the Amlactin line, and at a much smaller price tag. Thank you Amlactin!! Now can you get the retailers to move it out from behind the pharmacy counter, please?

Review by Professorlee:

I have had eczema my entire life – my hands would get so red and dry in the winter that they would bleed! – and I found nothing over the counter that would work. Sure the prescriptions helped – but they would give me a tiny tube that cost too much and lasted a week. Dermarest lotion (emphasis on “lotion” – I found the cream version they offer does not work as well) is absolutely wonderful. I have told many family and friends about this product and everyone loves it. It even works on the children in the family (as our exzema is hereditary). Bottom line – it works, it’s inexpensive and the size of the bottle will last you all winter!

Review by G. Whiz:

It did nothing for the eczema. This isn’t even a good lotion. The medication ingredient is Hydrocortisone which is really just an anti-inflammatory.

Dr Croc’s Repcillin Natural Skin Treatment 50g Tub

I have been using the repcillin for a few months for my childrens eczema and any rashes they might get. It has worked very well for my children. I thought I would also throw my little comment towards what it did for my burn.

Being a chef, I have seen my fair share of burns in the kitchen, after always using repcillin on my children I used the repcillin on a burn that I had got from boiling water. It was amazing, the burn ended up not leaving a scar (and i scar easily). So I thought I would tell the other moms out there not only to use the Repcillin for your babies, use it yourself,

Dr Croc’s Repcillin Natural Skin Treatment 100g Tub

It was great to find out that there is something out there that is 100% natural with no side effects. I have had problems with my sons eczema, whenever the doctor gives my son a cream, it always helps and then the eczema returns worse than before.

I ordered the repcillin after reading about it on [...], the product came in about 3 days. It has been amazing, as soon as I applied the cream to my sons eczema, I noticed the redness going away, it helped heal his skin and now I use the spray every day after his bath to keep the eczema at bay.

I would like to thank Amazon for offering this product in the States.

Review by Connie L. Goehler:

This is my second order for this amazing stuff! I use it on my lips, nails and cuticles, hands, dry areas on my face, elbows,feet, and sometimes as a hair product. Do Not Hesitate To Purchase! When I got my first container, I thought it would be greasy because it looks more like an ointment than a cream. But, it matches the natural lipids in the skin so well, it literally soaks right in and leaves such smooth, soft, and healed skin behind. No scent so can be used by both men and women.

Review by tracy a.:

I have been using Egyptian magic for the last 4-5? years as my night cream. I am 42 years old and have virtually no wrinkles. I always moisten my face first with a spritz of witch hazel mixed with rose water (I mix together in a mister)then emulsify the egyptian magic in the palm of my hand. It spreads easier all over face and neck. I also like to put it in my hair (small amount) after washing while still wet, then it combs out easily and makes my curls softer and shinier. It works great on dry hair (tiny amount rubbed in palms of hands) as defrizzer and shine booster. I also enjoy it as a hand/cuticle cream and lip balm. you can also use it as a female moisturizer or lubricant. I love that it has no artificial ingredients or preservatives. Remember, honey is naturally antibacterial. I am sold for life! It is expensive at whole foods, but I sometimes see a deal on amazon. just check the shipping charge first…sometimes you may notice a much smaller price only to realize the shipping charge makes it as much as the other “expensive” looking prices. I love this stuff and the jar does last quite a long time. Oh, by the way, I did try to make this at home once and it turned into a blob of sticky mess. I must have put too much bees wax when melting it down. The chemistry must be exact to get the consistancy of the original product.

Review by Meriam:

I have been using argan oil on my face for some time. It is great!! and the skin absorbs it quickly. I started seeing results in the fifth day of using it. I use it under makeup and at night before going to bed. The shipping was very fast I got mine in 3 days. The bottle is so beautifully packaged, inside a rich-red box, with a pump spray that disposes just the perfect amount with no option to waste. I highly recommend this seller and will definitely order from them again.

Review by Faith:

I have been using Argan Oil for over a year and cannot believe the condition my skin is in compared to before using it. I am 51 years old and have virtually no wrinkles! This product not only tightens and tones but gives a youthfull appearance. My 30 year old daughter and I look more like sisters than mother/daughter. Argan Oil is also fabulous as a massage oil. I have also added essential oils to give it added benefits.

Review by B. Dawson:

**I’m posting this review on my husband’s account, not my own (I actually don’t have one)

I never leave reviews, but this product is working so well that I wanted to let others know how it has helped my son.

He is now a little over 4.5 months old and has had eczema spreading across his forehead and down to his cheeks since he was two months. The pediatrician originally gave us an anti-fungal cream to manage the rash, but there was no effect. At his 4 month well-check, we received a Rx for Alclometasone Dipropianate Cream, USP 0.05%. It worked amazingly well, and his skin was soft and smooth in 4 days. But, the label says that it’s not recommended for children under 1 and the pediatrician was very clear that we not exceed 7 days of use and that we cease use earlier once his skin cleared. His skin remained clear for about a day and a half, but then a small patch of rash appeared on his forehead.

We began using Cetaphil lotioin to moisturize throughout the day and California Baby Calendula Cream, in an attempt to control the inflammation without the use of steroids (several reviews and message board posts mentioned its effectiveness). The combination seemed to slow the spread of the rash, initially, but his face and cheeks were soon covered again (worse than before we used the Rx cream).

We discontinued use of the Calendula cream, thinking it might be too strong and causing irritation. We continued with the Cetaphil, which seemed to provide temporary moisture and relief from the itching, but did nothing to control the rash and required numerous applications throughout the day.

A co-worker informed me that she has been using TriDerma to control her son’s eczema since he was an infant (he’s now 2), and suggested that I give it a try. We have been using TriDerma for 4 days, now. There was little noticeable difference in the first 2 days, but we’ve seen great improvement since then. It doesn’t appear to be working as quickly at the Rx cream, but it is definitely working and appears to be following the same stages of healing as with the Rx cream.

I am so thankful! The rash was beginning to spread to his nose and eyelids, but is now receding, and we are hopeful that his skin will soon clear completely.

Review by Mrs. Alba:

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter who has patches of eczema all over her body. This past winter was especially dry and her skin worsened. She had an especially stubborn patch of eczema in the bend of her elbow that would not heal. We had a daily regime of triple antibiotics and cortisone. We only bathed her a couple times a week and used cetaphil soap to wash her along with aveeno oatmeal in her bathing water-which after we applied aquaphor all over her. Desperate- as the patch in her elbow was getting worse – I saw an ad for this and decided to try it. After 5 days of applying 2 times daily it healed up the patch completely. No weeping or scaling anymore! My only complaint is that it doesn’t come in a bigger tube. But well worth the price as the results were excellent.

Review by T. Lee-Vogt:

Okay, maybe this lotion is not a miracle worker in the biblical sense. But, we have had amazing results with this product. My daughter has terrible eczema on her arms. We have tried different types of remedies from oatmeal baths to prescription ointments. I saw a coupon for this in the paper and decided to give it a shot. And, it has been great! It really cleared up the eczema and my daughter’s discomfort. And, her skin feels much, much softer. And, it has a nice scent. We saw results in less than three days. My daughter is actually weaing short sleeve shirts again!

Review by E. Jacobsen:

Had a flare-up that lasted nearly 18 months, prescription ointments would chase it around but never quite remove it. This stuff cured it in just a few weeks. Excellent stuff, hope more people hear about it.
