Within the first day using this product my daughter commented that her skin felt better within the first week my child who has routinely scratched her skin to the point of infection since she was an infant had all but ceased to scratch at all and this week i had a chance to try it out myself as eczema runs in my family with myself my mom an sister all being inflicted to a much milder degree i had a flare up of eczema on my face with small itchy scaly patches on my chin jawline and neck my usual cleansers as well as prescribed ointments and creams only aggravating the rash i dabbed a tiny bit of this cream on the affected areas and felt instant relief sleeping for the first time in a week i highly recommend this product granted each case is subjective but in my household its been a godsend and worth every penny all of ceraves products are amazing and this is no exception
