While my son does not have classical eczema, the doctor has termed his skin condition as "general dermatitis" as he is often quite susceptible to a whole host of skin problems - rashes, spots, dry skin, flaky skin, scaly skin, cracked skin in his elbows etc.
We've probably tried 10 different creams so far but none of them sufficiently returned him to that baby smooth skin that he had when he was born. So we were quite happy to try the Dermalex, seeing that it claims to be cortisone-free.
The Dermalex was quite sticky and greasy out of the tube, but I suppose with any good moisturizing barrier, it would be so. After a while, the stickiness faded, which was good. I found that his scaly skin was quite moisturized after application. We tried the cream on my scaly legs and it's left my skin shiny and smooth too!
With the weather, the husband's skin has also gotten eczema on his palms and behind his knees. The cream moiturized the back of his knees very well, and with the oil on it, the flaky skin is much smoother now. Also, his palms have become so cracked that it started bleeding, but when he put the cream on, his hands are definitely more "oiled" now and he has not complained of pain, despite the cracks and wounds.
Overall I'd say it's a very good product, my only gripe is that it is a little sticky for my liking, but like I said, it wouldn't be a good barrier against the drying weather if it wasn't. While it's good that it is cortisone-free, I'd like to know more about the full list of ingredients that are involved, ideally I'd like to go as natural as possible with the baby!
