Miracle Cream

Recommended by our pediatrician, cleared up the rash on my daughter’s face overnight! No burning, not too greasy.

Contains menthol

Warning: this product contains menthol! Ouch! It burns and doesn’t soothe. I purchased the ointment because creams are irritating to me. This is worse.

Works beautifully!

We love regular aquaphor ointment in out house so when the pediatrician recommended a hydrocortisone ointment or creme for our daughter's eczema, it was a no brainer. She has a rash with dry skin on her side and arm, this ointment helped clear it within a few days! It also has fewer added ingredients compared to other hydrocortisones I checked. With concern over allergies to cremes, the fewer added ingredients was what made our final decision.

BUY IT!!

This stuff is amazing! I wish it came in a bigger tube or tub but it worked great for a stubborn rash on our 13 month old. I didn’t even know this existed until our pediatrician recommended it and it worked quick once we started using it. I have also used it myself and it’s just as amazing. Skip the other stuff and buy this!

Good but not 12 hours

Does well for my toddler who has eczema. While it does last long and effective, it’s not very much so 12 hours

Clean, effective, and calming

As someone that has endless reactions from bugs to internal issues, this product works very well! I would rather use non-steroidal options but I had to break my rule fairly recently. Many, many products are not as clean and simple as this product; I always buy clean products. Eczema and topical issues calm in under 5 minutes; eczema ppl know how hard it can be to feel calm. Please keep this clean product around! Clean is very important to your health. Plus, there is actually a natural-based product inside to help absorb into the skin. I may not buy as frequently bc I try to not use steroid-based products as much but I do keep this product around. As a gluten allergy sufferer, oatmeal is a no-can-do. I recommend!!

Not great for bug bites

Not great for bug bites. I love nearly all aquaphor products so I figured I would love this for bug bites. Nope, itch relief doesn’t last very long compared to the Target brand hydrocortisone.

ECZEMA LIFE SAVER

“Aquaphor itch relief ointment” works! My child has eczema & her face has been flaky lately. All of her prescribed ointments/creams don’t work for her anymore. So I got this ointment & I put a little bit on her face with a qtip (so it wouldn’t get in her eyes) & the next morning her skin was perfect! I don’t write reviews but I just felt like I had to share.

Helps mosquito bites!

I got about 20 mosquito bites on a fishing trip and felt like I was on fire. I applied this to each bite, and it provided noticeable relief for several hours. It absorbs into skin well and has no odor. Will purchase again!

Worked

I had a really bad reaction on my fingers and over the course of a week+ it kept getting worse but after just a few days of using this - it went completely away. No smell and it absorbs pretty fairly.

Love the ointment over a cream

This has the texture of aquafor which I really like compared to typical hydrocortisone creams that never seem to want to soak in and leave a white film. I’ve been using this on bug bites in my kids and it’s so much easier to put on and absorb! Love it!
