Equate Anti-Itch Hydrocortisone 1% Cream, Intensive Healing Formula, 2 oz

Wonderful cream , if used as directed ,you can be your own doctor. Follow the directions for a week and see . We can take care of so very much ourself and not have to use the much stronger meds that are bad for us. This is a must cream at our home . Everyone needs it in their medicine cabinet.

This works exactly the same as Cortisone-10 but costs way less. I've used both and honestly can't tell the difference. It does what it's supposed to do! stops the itching fast and actually helps things heal. The cream absorbs well without feeling greasy or leaving residue on your hands. The 2 oz tube lasts me a long time since you only need a little bit for it to work. I keep one in the medicine cabinet and haven't had to replace it in a long time! No reason to pay more for the name brand when this does the exact same thing. Easy choice.

Used this for a rash on my chest that started from adhesive used in a heart test. It started small and eventually covered entire chest.i scratched until I broke skin. If I had thought to get this sooner, it would have saved a month of misery. First application helped tremendously. I am on my second day using it, and some areas appear to be clearing. So thankful for this product.

Far less expensive than the brand, and the active ingredient is the same, so I don't understand the need for paying more. Be aware of mosquitoes and fleas in your yard. They are superspreaders of disease, and they're becoming super immune to repellents.

Worked great on my skin. Had an allergic reaction to medication which caused a severe rash on my body. Within a few days of using the cream, rash reduced at least half plus the soreness I was experiencing from the rash. The price was affordable and great quality.

I have to say the Only difference between this brand and tje Cortizone brand is the texture and price of course. They work equally the same. Absolutely for all its use. The Equate is a little thinner in texture and the Cortizone brand has richer and greasier texture. I prefer the Equate lotion that is a less greasy lotion and it absorbs quicker too and besides less expensive. You can't beat that.

We use this cream as a spot treatment for eczema. The hydrocortisone is effective against the itch, and the additional ingredients help heal the skin quickly. The cream absorbs well and leaves little residue. It is just as effective as a name brand product without breaking the bank.

I use Walmart brands for many reasons when they are available... the ingredients are often identical to the name brands and they save me a substantial amount of money to boot. I appreciate this forum for allowing me to express my thoughts and let others know they can do the same. Small items are often overlooked, but my experience with Walmart brands has been exceptional!

There is no pharmaceutical medication that can defeat eczema and other similar ailments. However, the itching it causes is maddening. Cortisone 10 provides temporary relief, but you MUST be consistent with its use. At least four applications daily, and if you are lucky it is likely to go away. Time and perseverance are the key.

The hydrocortisone 1% that I recently used up was a much thicker cream. This new one the consistency was nothing like the older one if the new one is is softer and I would say has more liquid in it. It does not the hydrocortisone that I'm used to. When I use this up, I will go to a different brand.
