Does not work. Cortizone 10 Eczema works better. This was an overpriced waste of money. Not only that, they have at the ready a list of nine reasons for not giving you the promised refund of any cost over $30.

Comment:
My partner has suffered from severe facial eczema for the past few years, far worse than she had ever experienced before. We tried everything, from dietary interventions to Elidel to various steroids. Some did nothing but cost us time and money, while others (Elidel) actually exacerbated the situation by adding staph infections. We were truly growing quite desperate, as the eczema was so sev
