Good

I’m a big fan of skin products that contain Manuka honey

This cream actually worked to heal my harsh eczema on my chin. But be warned this BURNS. I’m hoping my long review will help someone as it is what I was looking for when researching my eczema.Backstory: It has been a 2 yr battle with my eczema coming completely out of no where (no history whatsoever). It started on my eyes, which is why I originally got this cream after seeing reviews from a blogger as I see others had. It burned badly on my eyes and didn’t seem to help. Fast forward I found out I have an intense nickel allergy and I believe my eyelash curler ( metal aka nickel) was causing it ( please consider if you have eyelid eczema).Actual review:My eczema spread to my chin and was extremely harsh. After applying Tacromilus and experiencing the most intense itching of my eczema experience, I washed it off itched the shit out of my face with a towel and I applied this cream. It BURNED- like a 9 out of 10 burn for about 15 minutes but that was better than the itching to me. Then it subsided and over the course of 2 or 3 days it started to dry up and flake off with the help of this cream. I applied it about 3 times a day maybe more. It did still burn until maybe the 3rd day but only for a few minutes each time. I honestly cannot believe it worked. The only thing before this that made any type of difference was hydrocortisone which I’m not going to ever consistently use for obvious reasons.So my tips are to try to leave it even if it burns. I couldn’t do this on my eyes but I could stand it on my chin. I believe the medicinal properties of the Manuka are what makes it burn because I tried a nose spray made with manuka in the past and it burned so badly as well. Also expect it to heal in a “dry up and flake off way” and not be moisturizing initially. This is what stopped me in the past I was looking for immediate relief and this cream doesn’t do that but it does till heal it! Looking back this may have been what it was doing with my eye area but since that is such a sensitive area I got scared and didn’t continue using it. After your skin flakes off it will start actually moisturizing the new skin.Another tip is to pat on your moisturizer do not rub. I thought this tip was dumb but I find it makes it at least half as itchy as when I rub on a cream.Love this cream going to use/ have it forever. Amazing, pure ingredients. The smell is very strong but this is the natural smell of the ingredients used. Good luck on your eczema journey all!

I ordered this, like many who have already posted, as a potential relief for eye/face eczema based on having seen another woman raving about it having relieved her eczema. It is expensive, took a very long time to get here (I don't remember knowing it was coming form Portugal, but here it is), and after having had it left outside in the mailbox in 90-degree heat, found the shipping box was taped shut but the product itself was not, nor was the jar inside sealed in any way. I was curious that the customs sticker on the front had a space for a signature but instead had only a date stamp. I will not be trying this out, but will be returning it. The bottom panel of the product box shows a clearer picture of the ingredients, many of which are specifically not recommended for people with skin issues like eczema (as my dermatologist told me). Secret ingredients panel lists: aloe barbadensis leaf juice, aqua, cetearyl alcohol, glycerin, cetearyl glucoside, borago officinalis (borage) seed oil, cera alba (beeswax), prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, brassica campestris (rapeseed) sterols, zinc oxide, rosa moschata (musk rose) seed oil, mel (manuka honey), theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, sodium hyaluronate, glycyrrhetinic acid, glyceryl caprylate, tocopheryl acetate, sodium phytate, xanthan gum, parfum, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid.

Like others, I have eczema around my eyes and on my hands every winter and have been searching high and low for a cream that helps. I've been buying this cream for 2 years now and for a long time I loved it... it's rich, smells wonderful, and helped to mitigate the dryness, although it did NOT get rid of it completely. So if you expect miracles for your eczema, don't; but this is the best solution I found. Also, it appears that some customers have had allergy problems with it, so make sure to test it first.EDITED AUGUST, 2016: After using this for almost 2 years I read the ingredient list on the BOX rather than the jar. Either they changed something or I never read the box, because it features many non-organic and harmful ingredients! Luckily, I found BeeFriendly products, though they're not specifically for Eczema.I'm listing some other options below:So far I've tried and liked:-Paw Paw cream (better for hands since very thick, but also ok for eyes, and not too expensive)-Tamanu cream I bought from a store called Nature's Boundaries (great for eyes/face but doesn't get rid of the dryness as effectively as the Manuka honey cream.) NOTE: Do NOT buy the concentrate- I think it's for the use of cosmetic makers rather than product users.-emu oil (ok for hands and eyes).-Vitamin E oil is cheap and found everywhere, but doesn't work better than anything else I've tried, although it's normally recommended for dryness. However, it's easily found so if you need something urgent for your hands you might as well buy it. It's too thick to use under the eyes.No product, I have to say again, had been perfect. Especially for my hands-- the dryness stays no matter WHAT I use, even the medicated creams.

I get embarrassing eczema rashes on my face during winter, fall and spring. I had tried different creams & products, but they ended up drying my already dry skin more. I was desperate and watched a YouTube review on this product hoping it would be right for me. After watching the good/bad reviews this cream was given I took another risk and bought it! I was so happy that it did not it dry my skin out more and was very gentle on my dry super sensitive skin. I recommend for anyone with sensitive skin, but please study the ingredients. Manuka honey has been so good to me:)!
