scratch cream

Common actives include topical hydrocortisone (often 1%) for itch relief, plus skin-protecting and moisturizing ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal and ceramides. Formulations may also list supportive ingredients like vitamins and plant-derived oils.

They primarily target itching and symptoms of eczema and related rashes. Many formulas also list relief for psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, insect bites, poison ivy/oak/sumac, and other minor skin irritations.

Products are described for use on eczema‑prone areas and the face; some formulations are labeled for use anywhere on the skin.

Available net weights in the set include 1 oz, 2 oz, 3.5 oz, 4 oz, 5 oz, 6.76 fl oz (US), and 7.3 oz, covering small tubes up to roughly 7.3‑ounce jars or tubes.

Some anti-itch/medicated creams list itch relief lasting up to 10 hours, while several moisturizing or barrier creams list 24-hour moisturization or hydration.

Most descriptions and reviewer summaries report creamy, moisturizing textures that absorb well and are non‑greasy or fast‑absorbing. A smaller portion of reviews note a thicker or slightly tacky feel until the product fully dries.
