Aveeno 1% Hydrocortisone Anti, Itch Cream, Maximum Strength (Pack of 2)

Have purchased this product 5 times - small tube but lasts a good while- odor free- non greasy - clears up dry cracked itchy skin quickly - always keep some on hand

This product provides fast effective relief for itching. I use it after I get a bug bite, poison ivy, minor, skin, burn, or irritation, or even have an eczema flareup. This is very moisturizing and fast acting. This is something that I would describe as having to be a must have in your vehicle, on a hiking trip, or just handy in your purse if you're in Minnesota girl like I am.

I have had a flare up on my hands that nothing, NOTHING, can ease. My home is a testimony to product trying/over buying. Then on holiday in Nashville for the week, I tried this…. Day 2 and my palm has healed over. My eczema cracked heels have relief for the first time in months. I shall be stocking up for the suitcase to take back to England as this beats my prescribed lotions ‘n' potions by a mile. Thank you.

I had itching and flare ups with Eczema in the edges of my ears, I would get itchy ears and pain and then crust would build up . I thought maye it was the shampoo, so I switched to Aveeno shampoo and conditioner as it has no sulfate. I have tried another product in the past and it did work, but only took the Eczema away about 75% . I got tired of waiting and treating something that just would not go away. I decided to change the product to Aveeno Anti itch cream, I put this product on when I had a flare up , which was about 1 time a week. . I can honestly said now that the only time I put this product on my ears is when I feel my ears getting dry. I only wish that I would have tried Aveeno right away in the first place. But I am glad that I did purchase this product.

I've been using this for awhile now and it really does help. So much that I have switched to everthing Aveeno has in skin care. Still hopeing for underarm care though, lol. The lotion tinted with color for the face is also a great find. I have a little red in my face, it's helping with that also..... Thanks Aveeno for these products!!!! very happy, Jane Hontz

My 6 year old daughter had a severe allergic reaction to a children's sunscreen. She is covered in a red rash and pimple like bumps all over her face, upper torso, back, and arms. I WAS using a regular OTC hydrocortisone cream for the past 3 days to no real relief, especially on her face. Well, she was sent home from school today after being in the sun during recess and her whole face was beet red and looked worse than ever before! I applied the same hydrocortisone cream and she was crying in pain and was itching so I decided to try the Aveeno products. I bought this, the aveeno hydrocortisone cream, the Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash, and the Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Moisturizing cream. I washed her face with the aveeno wash and applied the aveeno hydrocortisone cream and 2 hours later her face is ALREADY looking almost back to normal, the best it has looked since she got the rash. I am planning on buying the aveeno baby sunscreen to use for my daughter as well once she is healed and able to go back into the sun. Thank you, Aveeno, for your amazing product that helped my baby feel so much better and to get relief from the horrible itching!

I've used other creams specifically for eczema and nothing really works; they either do nothing or kind of help, but not entirely. This includes the Aveeno Eczema cream. I've gotten lotions and soaps from Lush, and although they stop the itch, they don't stop the flares. After some research on eczema, I found specifically the use of hydrocortisone to be the number one suggestion so I bought the Aveeno Hydrocortisone anti-itch cream. My eczema was so bad that any lotion gave me a tingling/burning sensation. Aveeno's cream also gave me that sensation but it was only for a couple of minutes. I used the cream right before I went to sleep and the next morning my skin was visibly clearer, it no longer itched, and it didn't burn when I applied the cream again. My skin was so bad that it started peeling because of how dry it was. Aveeno sped up the healing process. My skin is so healthy looking that my eczema is pretty much nonexistent. I no longer get any flare-ups unless I stop using the cream for more than a week. This cream is so good that I don't have to use it every day either. After my skin clears, I use it every other day. It's honestly so amazing and inexpensive.

Great product that helps bring relief from itchy skin. I found that it is most effective with a thin layer used consistently. The texture is thick so I like to just use a small amount and let it dry. I prefer this brand to others because I have found it to be less irritating.

I bought this product last week. It waws a waste of money. It aggravated the itch, and I scratched in my sleep and made the area bleed. Did not work for me.

Creams like this offer a "quick fix" without addressing the underlying problem. Basically, it's like painting over the cracks in a wall. The eczema WILL come back, because the cause has not been treated. I foolishly put hydrocortisone cream on my FACE for 15 years and am now suffering from a terrible condition related to steroid rebound. Extreme caution needed.
