Cetaphil RESTORADERM Eczema Itch Relief Gel, Colloidal Oatmeal, 2oz

This is now the only product I use to help my face after a shower. It's literally perfect. My skin is ultra sensitive, and even heat from the shower can dry out or irritate my skin. So to relieve it, I'll apply a little lotion/cream to my cheeks and forehead. In the past, most creams are too oily or feels like I'm wearing a layer of "something" on my skin. I dislike when that happens. However, I was shopping and saw this product in the bargain bin half off due to a damaged box. I bought it, because I thought the little roller design was a neat idea. However, I was worried it either wouldn't work well enough to roll on cream, or leak out too much and waste the product. I was also worried by the small tube size that I'd go through it. But the design is perfect for applying only the minimum amount of cream that's necessary. Gently squeeze the tube and roll over your cheeks and forehead. Then, rub in the resulting residue it leaves. Relieves my dry skin on contact without an oily residue. It feels like I'm wearing nothing. No bad smell (although when you first put it on, it kinda has an "oatmeal" smell, but it doesn't last more than 10 seconds), and when rubbed in it warms to body temp quickly. Furthermore, it has a protective locking head you twist to prevent accidental squeezes or something. What's crazy is how long it lasts. I bought this product as a replacement, but my original from the store has lasted me nearly 6 months of daily use. Maybe if you use it everywhere you'll blast through it, but for just my cheeks, forehead, and sometimes neck, it's a juggernaut. Before in the past, I used Cerave, which also doesn't leave an oily residue, but for my face this is just better. It clearly knows its place. My only gripe was the price for such a small tube, but now I know it'll last a long time, so I see it as okay. In the end, I suggest this for people with eczema, or sensitive skin that dries out from hot showers or heavy water. Lasts a long time and leaves no oily residue. I'm committed to this, until I find something better.

Perfect

Best eczema cream I feel. My first time using it. It is not thick or gooey. It doesn’t leave my skin with a shiny surface/texture. It either absorbed or evaporated but most importantly I don’t feel the itch. Good cream, not sure how long the protection lasts.

Ok, I'll be honest, this does not eradicate the itch but it feels amazing while you put it on-- the metal roller applicator is really really nice. So, I'd buy it again just because that immediate relief is worth it but don't go into it thinking once you apply it, the itch disappears.

Worked on my eczema stopped the itch and cooled it immediately

So good for dry itchy skin works well no sent and soaks into skin quickly and is invisible

Effectively stops the itch, but the effect does not last. It has to be applied many times.

Works fairly well. Easy to apply

I use Cetaphil cream and shower gel quite a bit for sore skin (along with Aveeno & Gladskin) To get this in a roll on that does not need to be kept in the fridge was great. Just a great handbag size and convenient for additional discrete hot spot applications through out the day. The cooling roller ball really does have a soothing effect reducing the temptation to scratch. Easy to apply without mess. Sadly I have not been able to order it again, it never comes up in the Cetaphil / order again searches. My only and original purchase (to date) has lasted a long time.
