DermaZinc Cream, 4 oz, 3 Pack

This product really didn't help my skin issues. Aquaphor works better.

I was disturbed that both jars’ foil seals were part way lifted up. At first it looked like a finger had scooped some out inside, but then I thought the contents probably shifted in shipping and the empty space would normally have been at the top.I am familiar with this product so I smelled it and tested it on my skin and it seems genuine. I normally use it up so quickly that it should not be a problem that they were both unsealed. If it was just one it would not be as creepy as having both jars’ foil seals lifted off part way exactly the same.If I had bought this at a regular store I would have taken it right back for a sealed replacement, but I will go ahead and hope it’s ok because I was completely out. If I have a problem with it, I will update this review.Update: I used one jar and part of the second. They turned out to be the same quality as what I had previously bought elsewhere. This controls what I believe is a reoccurrence of tinea on my arm.

It's specifically designed to treat my skin disorder seborrheic dermatitis which is something that I really really love about this product. I was having a really bad and embarrassing red scratchy flakey flare up when I ordered this, hoping and praying it would do the job better than the creams I get from the dermatologist that take at least a week to calm it down. Two days later I received the cream, slapped it onto my red spots before bed, and when I woke up they were visibly pink and almost gone. I am so happy! This thing is huge to me (compared to doctor's cream tubes) and will last a very long time if only using it every couple of days as preventative or using it during flare ups / on localized spots.Right now I use another product, a mud mask meant to clean blackheads (but hey, it works), to exfoliate and apply this cream to the fresh skin. Does the trick rather well and it's been a Saturday night ritual for two weeks now (and I have literally no red or pink spots around my nose!) and many more Saturday evenings to come since right now it's the beginning of fall and winter is approaching as that's when i get the most torture from my skin. I say Saturday, because i'm healed by Monday after a night and morning application. I can officially wear a light amount of makeup to work now since I've added this cream to my routine. I feel so much more confident meeting with clients (I work at an architectural firm) now since this has helped keep it under control.It feels great. Just to let everyone know i've been suffering with seborrheic dermatitis since I entered high school and that was in 2005. I have tried every single type of cream my doctors threw my way with no success... the only successful treatment was a steroid cream but alas, I was taken off of it because I was showing side effects on my skin (blood vessels around nose). So since i stopped that a couple of years ago, i've been wading around creams from them and then decided to try this one. So it's not like i'm brand spankin new to my problem.I realize my review is lengthy, but I just want to give my honest, authentic, and genuine opinion about this product.

I have a small patch of Seb Derm near my eye, which is why the usual prescribed treatment of washing with dandruff shampoo doesn't really work for me. You have to leave the shampoo on your face for a few minutes in order for the chemicals to penetrate and kill off the fungus that causes the dermatitis, but you can see why that would be problematic if your dermatitis is in a sensitive spot.So I bought this cream, which has the same active ingredient as shampoos like Head & Shoulders, and have been using it for the past two weeks. As the label suggests, I apply it several times per day, usually once in the morning and once in the evening. The cream is thick but absorbs well with some rubbing and leaves skin with a slightly powdery finish. It is unscented and doesn't cause my eyes to water. My dermatitis is about 75% cleared up. The itching, redness, and scaling have really improved. The patch is still there, but not as noticeable. It still flares up during humid weather, however, so the cream isn't a cure, just a way to control it. And this works fine under makeup.This may seem pricey, but the jar is rather large and filled to the brim. I only use a small dab each time, so it's a pretty good deal. I think this cream is a good alternative to shampoos or soaps since you can leave it on all day instead of needing to rinse it off. It also seems safe to use near your eyes, unlike soap and shampoo.

I had been having mild SD flaking start up over the last 6-8 months on my face. I was having ok luck hiding it with lotion...Mainly I have spots between and around my eyebrows, on my cheeks near my noise, and around my sideburns where they meet my beard. It was manageable for a while but in the last few weeks, it was getting WAY out of control. Heavy flaking, redness, etc. Basically like the awful pics you see when you do a Google image search for SD. It was starting to draw comments from others and drive me crazy.I was debating going to a dermatologist (and I don't have insurance) but I searched forums first and found a link in a Reddit skin care post that mentioned this cream specifically. So, I decided to give it a try. Within about 2-3 days of applying it 2-4 times a day, my SD went away by about 70% and it is progressively still getting better by a little here and there after another week's sporadic use. You can't tell I have it anymore and my skin just looks generally healthier.It smells very much like some kind of typical medicated cream which is not terrible, nor all that strong, either but I don't care for it. In spite of that, I'm still giving this 5 stars. Will buy again if needed but a little goes a long way and the container is a decent size.UPDATE: After a couple weeks my facial SD went away entirely. A month or so after that, it felt like it might be coming back so I applied this cream again for a day or two and I have been totally free from the flaking and itching ever since. I'm super pleased with this stuff.
