I have struggled with eczema all my life, and while Skin MD is no cure, after a month or so of using this, I can confidently say it really does the trick in terms of helping to keep it under control. While the lotion is extremely light, it is extremely soothing and does seem to help restore the natural skin barrier relatively quickly. My skin feels more resilient already - the same amount of scratching does not result in deep cuts but only surface scrapes.
Although the website claims it's all you need, and to just repeatedly apply it until your natural skin barrier is restored, that is only true when the natural humidity is over 40% or so. On a trip to the East Coast at the end of February, with heating going full blast everywhere, I found that mid-flare, when I had already scratched my skin all raw, I had to apply Skin MD to soothe and hydrate my skin, and then apply a layer of Cerave or Restoraderm (or even better still, Atopiclair or Avene XD) on top to lock it in. The combination worked, not Skin MD OR Cerave/Restoraderm alone, to heal my skin really quickly. (How bad was bad? I was waking up every 2 hours to remoisturize the first couple of nights of my trip.)
Now that I'm back in a humid environment, one or two applications a day is sufficient. It works out to a similar price per use as Restoraderm or Cerave - a little goes a long way BUT not quite as far as the makers would suggest. (The 4oz bottle was marketed as "enough for 3 months" but obviously it will depend on how much of your body is affected by eczema.) As another reviewer pointed out, it feels like a makeup primer, no doubt because of the use of silicones. The plus is that it is easy to reapply mid-day without getting your clothing all greasy, as it somehow both spreads easily and sinks in quickly.

Best lotion ever!!!
I first tried a sample of this in a holistic pharmacy, while waiting on a prescription to be filled and instantly fell in love with it. I see a Dermatologist and he asked me how my skin has been looking better than ever when I am not using the scripts he has given me and I told him about it. I had a small bottle in my purse and he looked at the ingredients and said he's never seen anything that was this good. He now carries samples in his office. I give these bottles out as gifts, it is that good. I can use this lotion and it will keep my hands moisturized for days on end, even after washing them, they hold the moisture. This is the ONLY thing I can use on my face without it breaking out. The only downside is, I cannot find it in any stores, so I have to purchase it here, on Amazon and then have to wait for it to ship!!! I would love to see this in CVS or Walmart so I can buy at my convenience!!!
