Derma EItch Relief Lotion – Anti-Itch for Dry Skin – Soothing Itchy Skin Cream – Lightweight Body Lotion Calms and Moisturizes, 8 oz

Effective alternative to cortisone cream. Works well, stops itch, smells good and moisturizes skin.

Great cream. A life saver for itching skin. Would not be without it!!

I purchased this lotion, because I have fibromyalgia and part of my symptoms are itchy skin and a itchy facial rash each morning. I have extremely sensitive skin and also practice a vegan/cruelty free lifestyle so I was looking for something natural and not tested on animals. First I will say that I was disappointed when the pump didn't work and I have to unscrew it to get the lotion out, but I understand that could be a random fluke. Second people with itchy skin generally have sensitive skin, I know at least I do, I have multiple sensitivities and not just my skin. So the lotion smell and such was a bit over powering. Luckily I am not allergic to or overly sensitive to tea tree oil. I knew the product contained it, I just didn't realize it would be quite that potent. As far as the lotion properties itself, it worked fine for putting on my face. It is a rather thick lotion so I avoid my forehead and nose unless I am home for the day, because otherwise they become greasy. I stick with my cheeks and chin, that's where I breakout and itch anyway. It is a nice and refreshing lotion and if I am not too itchy when I apply it, it does help a great deal and I do like it. If I am already too itchy, like I said, it is refreshing, but it is nothing like a medicated cream. So for minor itching, itch prevention, and dry/mildly itchy skin it's great I'd say.

I had a severe case of hives, rashes and itching for nearly 4 years as a result of having "Leaky Gut Syndrome" which caused my immune system to go ballistic at nearly everything I ate. The itching was incredibly miserable and I suffered almost 24/7. Stepping out of the shower made me feel like I had thousands of red ants biting me.I tried a variety of over-the counter anti-itch products in addition to prescriptions from my doctor and none were as effective as this. There were times where I needed IMMEDIATE relief...and this stuff did the trick. It's effect is nearly instantaneous producing a soothing, "Mentholatum" type of relief. In the course of a year and a half, I probably went through at least 30 bottles of this stuff. But it was well worth it, as it saved my sanity. For some reason however, it doesn't work as well on the face as it produces a burning sensation most likely due to the face's thin layer of skin.Amazon has the best price (Whole Foods sells it for over $12 a bottle).UPDATE: They've changed the bottle it once came in which has resulted in defective spout dispensers in nearly 50% percent of the bottles I get (I'm on the Subscribe and Save program and receive 3 per month). Please reconsider going back to the old bottle.

I had to get past the smell of this cream, it smelled moldy, but it worked well

I'm enjoying this lotion very much. It is applied easily from a tube that won't leak lotion when you set it aside. It seems to absorb a little more slowly than others I've used, but it doesn't take long enough to be frustrating. The scent is what one would expect of a tea tree lotion, but the scent dissipates quickly after application. Most importantly, it effectively relieves my itchy skin!

Stinks so bad it is not usable and it is not eligible for return. BEWARE!!

It leaves the skin nice and soft. It only helps with itching a short time.
