Although over 34 million Americans suffer from symptoms of eczema every day, scientists still don't know what causes it. Many experts think eczema occurs through an inherited tendency for the disease, and then is "triggered" by stress or other external factors.
Usually, the affected skin area is very dry, itchy, red, and swollen. Sometimes it becomes cracked, crusty, scaly, and even bleeding. Always, the condition is irritating, frustrating, and embarrassing.
When looking at different eczema treatments, you want to consider a few factors. Some of these include:
• Effectiveness. There are many claims on the market for eczema relief. Does the product work as advertised?
• Safety. Is the product safe? Can it be used with children and infants? Are the product's contents listed?
• Cost. Product costs can vary widely. More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better. Is the product worth the money?
TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked the best eczema treatments available. We hope you find these reviews helpful in finding the treatment that works for you!

The company Skin-e-Care offers products for several different skin problems. The product offered for treatment in eczema is called Skin-e-Dip. It is a topical cream that is applied twice a day. Skin-e-Dip eases the itching and burning of eczema immediately upon contact to provide relief.
Ongoing use of Skin-e-Dip virtually eliminates flaking, scaling, and cracked skin. In addition to providing immediate comfort, the skin becomes smooth and supple, regaining its elasticity. The built-in moisturizing elements leave skin with a vibrant, healthy appearance.
Skin-e-Dip does not contain Lanolin, Cortisone, Preservatives, Tar, Steroids, or Antibiotics that can be harmful or cause allergic reactions. It is safe to use with children, even in the most sensitive of areas.
Skin-e-Dip comes in 4 different sizes: a 1 oz for $16.00, a 4 oz for $24.00, two 2 oz for $28.00 and an 8 oz for $42.00. The first two ingredients listed are Benzoin and Ethyl Alcohol. Shipping costs and times are pretty standard. Skin-e-Dip can also be purchased
in pharmacies in the US and Canada, although you should expect to pay more than you would online.
We were very pleased to discover that Skin-e-Dip comes with a very generous return policy. If you're not completely satisfied with the product for any reason, you can return it within 30 days for a 100% money-back refund. This is the kind of customer service that sets quality companies apart.
We found the Skin-e-Care website to be very easy to use, with good solid information on their product and the effects of eczema. With a very effective product, an acknowledged 10-year history of success, and a very satisfied customer base, Skin-e-Dip earns our highest ranking.

The Native Remedies web site is very detailed, with treatment on everything from asthma to depression. Michele Carelse, a clinical psychologist, helped develop each product based on herbal healing.
Native Remedies Eczema Cream is a topical solution that should be applied twice a day. Relief from the itching and redness should take effect on first application. Continual use will reduce breakouts. The first two ingredients are vitamin e oil and hydrocotyle. One 25 g tube should last 20-25 days. Our review combined this cream with
Native Remedies Skin Dr. This
is a pill taken internally, which treats the underlying symptoms and causes of eczema from the inside. The products are even safe to use on infants.
Packaged together, you save 10% off the purchase price of the products. The company provides a 60-day money back guarantee. The cost is Shipping and handling is $5.99, with only $1.00 for each extra item.
While at first we were a little overwhelmed with all the different products offered from Native Remedies, we actually found this site very straightforward. They even offer additional information on Eczema, such as different types and causes.
Native Remedies Eczema Cream is a strong offering in the treatment of Eczema.

The Biogetica Company offers a variety of products for many different ailments. This site has everything from weight loss to dental problems!
There are three different products for the treatment of eczema. The first is C6 Dry Eczematosis, a homeopathic topical solution. This product is targeted for customers who have a lot of dry itching and redness associated with eczema. Retail price for this product is $79.00, but the site is offering a sale for $39.00. The first two listed
ingredients are clematis erecta 4X and
graphites 6X. The second product is called C136 Wet Eczematosis. This product is targeted for customers whose eczema is "wet and discharging". Its price is $39 - the same retail and sale price as the dry eczema formula. The two main ingredients in the wet formula are mezereum 6X and rhus toxicodendron 6X. The site claims that both formulas re-teach the immune system to stop being "hypersensitive". The last product offered in the treatment of eczema is T27 Skin
Liquescence. This is also a topical solution and can be used in both "wet" and "dry" eczema. It is also $39, the same price as the other two products. Shipping can be done by ground, air or two day delivery.
The Biogetica Company offers a 90-day money back guarantee when the customer uses both products together (the Skin Liquescence, and either the Dry or Wet eczema formulas). They also offer a lowest price guarantee within 30 days of purchase - refunding 100% of the difference.
The site is very easy to navigate and even though there is a great deal of information on many ailments, we were able to easily find information on eczema. The site has a lot of extras including flash presentations on healing.
On the whole, we found this site to be more on the 'new age-y" side. As stated, the sites main goal is for the customer to become "one with the universe and connect to their higher spirit". A great deal of the web site is devoted to the "universe" and our place within it. This site would appeal to a customer who appreciates
all-natural homeopathic treatment.

The Skin Store is a very detailed and sophisticated web site selling numerous skin products and make-up from many different popular product lines. They have one product geared specifically for the treatment of eczema called Donell Super Skin Eczema Relief. This is a topical cream to be applied twice a day. The two main ingredients
are purified water and petrolatum.
Donell Super Skin Eczema Relief is non-irritating and without fragrance. This product is safe for children, as well as adults. It sells for $45.00 for 1.5 oz, making it one of the more expensive over the counter eczema treatments. They offer a 115% lowest price guarantee and free domestic shipping.
Although there is some historical evidence that the product works, some people may be annoyed with the smell. The Skin store web page contains so much information on various products and make-up, it can be difficult to find what you're looking for; more than once we got lost on the website. The other websites in our review were easier
to use, with more information on eczema
and treatment.
With an expensive product, complaints about the smell, and a difficult-to-use website, we think you can do better.
