Description
Exederm Flare Control Cream is the only paraben-free hydrocortisone cream available in the US and was the first hydrocortisone product to receive the National Eczema Association's coveted Seal of Acceptance. We believe that eczema, dermatitis and sensitive skin sufferers are different. Eczema sufferers have very sensitive itchy skin and need to avoid even mild irritants whenever possible. That is why Exederm is formulated without many known irritants: no fragrance, no color or dyes, no SLS or SLES, no Propylene Glycol or Cocamidopropyl and most importantly no parabens. Suitable for adults and children over two years of age.

I’ve dealt with flaky eyelids in the winter for 2 years, doctor google said it can be normal, etc… I tried some moisturizers and salves, but still looked like a shedding snake and it only ever got worse. Fed up with it I decided to try hydrocortisone, and came across this. I was stunned at the price comparison and tempted to just get a generic, but so glad I didn’t. A tiny bit goes a long way. My eyelids cleared in about 3 days. Incredible. My only thought is that inert ingredients must have something to do with it, or offer some benefit to your skin.
Not worth it

I’ve been using it for over a week but haven’t noticed a difference. It is expensive for as little as you get.

I've been battling with eczema on my wrist and hands for the last few years. As a mom of many, I'm always washing my hands to prep food, etc. This cream has been soothing and I've been searching for something without parabens with Hydrocortisone and I finally found this. I wish it were not so expensive. After about 10 days of use, my hands look almost normal after they looked horrible for several years.

Even if you have tried all the creams under the sun, just buy this one! My husband and daughter both have very sensitive skin. This has been the cream that works for them! Repurchased many of times! I even used this on my daughter when she was a baby in small amounts.

Decided to try after a few other reviews. Got contact dermatitis from using an expired face mask. My face was suddenly red, burning, and looked like a million little pimples. Bought this cream along with the Vanicream unscented facial cleanser. Other reviews noted change within days and I knew that couldn’t be true - BUT IT DID THE TRICK! Avoided makeup for 2 days while washing and applying this cream right after several times a day. Literal miracle combo!!!
Just buy it

I recently developed eczema this year. Went to 3 different doctors. Was diagnosed with a spider bite, shingles, given steroids (oral and topical) and antibiotics and finally when nothing worked I went to a dermatologist. He prescribed me a stronger steroid cream. It didn’t help either. I finally as a last resort decided to try this, even though it was a bit expensive. I will likely always have some on hand now! This cream is amazing! My eczema is still an issue but this definitely calmed it down. Non greasy, a little goes a long way.
Awesome!

I had a sudden facial rash that I could not explain. I wasn’t not sure of the culprit but my skin was burning and itchy. This cream was so soothing. And turns out I had a reaction from my nightly pro retinol cream and sun exposure the next day.
Helped my damaged skin so much

My 2 year old had a stubborn patch of eczema on her thigh that was scabby and oozing no matter how much lotion or coconut oil or Vaseline or Aquafor we threw at it. We’ve used the Exederm for 2 days and it’s already drying and clearing up. Fingers crossed it continues.
