    I have moderate eczema around my eyes and on my eyelids. Because of concern that longterm use of steroidal cream would cause thinning of the skin, cataracts and glaucoma, I decided to try EpiCeram. Having read some Stanford medical researchers write about the new theory that the cause of eczema is that it is not an autoimmune disorder, but rather a breakdown in the skin's natural barriers due ...

    I am a 21 year old male with facial eczema. I have used everything and I mean everything. I used to use mimyx to keep my face hydrated but this stuff actually keeps me clear, almost as well if not better than the steroids. I have only been using it for a week now but wow. I broke out behind my ears and I tried epi ceram on one side and steroids on the other. The epiceram cleared it up 2 days ... Show Full Comment

    I'm an African American female and have been useing Epiceram for about two weeks for ezcema on my forearms, legs and buttocks. I can see a improved difference in the the condition of my skin overall. I feel that with continued use the patches may actually heal and clear up completely.

    I'm a 19 year old male with eczema on both inner corners of my eyes as well as my genitals. My dermatologist gave me some samples of EpiCeram and Eletone to test. While EpiCeram did in fact make my skin less dry and cracked, it did NOT help the redness of eczema at ALL. Given that these drugs have not had their efficacy tested via the market for very long, I took it upon myself to write this r ... Show Full Comment

    EpiCeram is a lifesaver for me! Every winter my hands get so dry the skin cracks, bleeds and itches beyond belief. Plus my hands look 50 years older than they actually are. I justed started using this medication last week after my Derm. prescribed it for me. What a difference! I apply a thin coating twice a day and my hands are actually soft! No dryness, cracking or bleeding. I'm in heaven! An ... Show Full Comment
