If you're new to eczema, bless you. You have a long road ahead. For most people, it does not go away. But this product is the best our family has found in this, our tenth year, of dealing with this very difficult skin disorder. My first reason for writing this review is to assure you that any bad reviews of this product are from (probably) nice, but uneducated-in-eczema individuals. There is no miracle product out there -- that we've found -- that makes eczema disappear. Some people have found products that keeps their eczema under control, but that is not what Vanicream is for.
Vanicream is called a moisturizing skin cream. But with eczema, the key is to put moisture in the skin and trap it there. That's where vanicream comes in. I absolutely love this product. But don't expect it to cure eczema.

In Arizona, skin moisture dehydration/desiccation is problem #1. Locals who don't moisturize in the 6% relative humidity, all resemble reptiles. After trying many low and ultra high priced moisturizers, I came across Vanicream during a routine doctor's visit. After Vanicream use, I found the difference to be dramatic. My skin felt better, but also looked far better and more vital than any other product could produce. My local derm doctor sold Vanicream in his office for premium dollars. I bought it since I believed it was only available at the doc. I was extremely pleased to finally find the identical product here on Amazon at a dramatically discounted price.
You can purchase it with or without the pump. I find the pump applicator very efficient and allows one to meter out the correct amount needed. I highly recommend Vanicream.

Great staple in the battle against baby eczema. We bathe our 11 mo. old every evening and douse him with vanicream afterward as per our allergist recommendation. Great product. We just love it.
