Dermoscribe Seborrheic Dermatitis Cream for Itchy Skin and Eczema, 2 Oz | Redness & Scaling Relief for Skin, Face, Chest & Scalp, Fragrance-free, Moisturizing Formula, Developed by Dermatologists

UPDATE: April 2021: Four years in and this cream is a staple. Sometimes I'll stop using it and shift to other creams only for my skin to slowly go back to its rough, flaky, red state. That's when I remember this cream and why I love it so much. I can't tell you if this will work for you, but I can tell you that nothing else helped me... not other sulfuric ointments, not salicylic acid, not super "clean" products formulated for super sensitive skin that cost way more than they should - nothing. This cream works for me. A single tube, even with daily use, lasts me easily six months or so, so it's an economical buy to try out. Whether it's this product or another, I hope you find something that works for your skin!! UPDATE: June 20th, 2019: This is still a must-have for me. It's the only thing that helps keep my skin free of scaly patches and all sorts of redness. At this point I just mix it into my moisturizer right before applying and it "melts" into my skin perfectly and without drying me out. Really fantastic product - literally the only thing I've found that works so well. UPDATE: April 16th, 2018: This cream is still working for me! I've been pairing it with a gentle salicylic acid scrub and an oil-free moisturizer, and the change in my skin is amazing. Mixing the cream with the moisturizer works just as well and seems to help me avoid some of the dry-skin issues that can crop up. I highly recommend it! -------- I purchased this cream on September 25, 2017, and have been using it ever since it arrived. It's been a fixed presence in my skincare routine for about four months, in other words, so I feel like I've used it long enough to leave an accurate review. I adore this stuff, to put it simply. My skin used to be very easy to take care of - acne wasn't an issue, I didn't need a lot of skincare products to keep it clear... it was just sort of naturally fine. Not amazing, mind you, but there were no significant issues until a few years ago. I don't know what happened, but my skin went crazy and has never really recovered. More specifically, I've been dealing with patches of flakey, scaley rashes/acne (it seems like both, to be honest), particularly across my forehead, above my eyebrows, down my nose, and around my mouth. This has been a nightmare for me. I've tried so many creams and lotions trying to find something that would calm my skin down. I even went off of all skincare products for several months to rule out an allergic reaction to something, but there was little change. So. I've spent a lot of time over the years trying to figure out what is wrong with my face. Finally I decided to try an option for seborrheic dermatitis. The symptoms and pictures fit, and I really didn't have anything to lose. To be quite frank, I didn't expect this to work at all. You guys, it worked so well. When you read reviews and people say that there was an "immediate" change, you roll your eyes, right? How dramatic - not to mention impossible, since your skin takes around a month to fully acclimate to a product... so even if something seems like it's a good option at first, it might end up being worse for your skin after a few weeks. I'm going to say the following even though I'm fully aware of the reaction these words would inspire within me: there was an almost immediate change in my skin when I began using this cream. And when I say "almost immediate", I mean that I used it at night, went to bed, and when I woke up the next day my face was significantly less red and less flakey and just looked healthier and clearer. I don't know exactly what it is in this cream that works for me - maybe the sulfur. It's been working for me consistently since the first night I used it, so whatever is in it works well for my skin. It doesn't turn my skin into a porcelain mask or anything - it's not flawless. But the difference between how it was before and how it is now is night and day. With all of that said, there are a few things you should be aware of when making the decision to purchase (or not) this cream. It does smell like sulfur. No one aside from me is able to smell it once it's on my face, and it's not overwhelmingly strong. I can smell it a bit even after it is on my face. Again, it's not an overwhelming scent and doesn't bother me. This cream does dry out my skin. To help combat this, I've been using a gentle facial scrub in the shower, using this cream when I get out, and then covering my face with an oil-free moisturizer for sensitive skin. This combination leaves my skin softer than I ever remember it being. That's it, to be honest - there aren't many downsides to this product for me. I'm still on the same tube I originally purchased - a tiny bit of this really does go a long way. As long as I stay up on moisturizing my face every day, my skin feels hydrated. If you're dealing with some of the same issues I described above, then I'd recommend trying this cream. It's not cost-prohibitive to do so, and it seems like it really does work wonders for at least some of us. I know it's not a well-known skincare brand and you might be wary of the integrity of the reviews, but it just works so well... give it a shot if you're so inclined.

This cream is fantastic. I have seborrheic dermatitis and nothing was working to reduce the dry spots and red patches on my forehead. I used another product and it helped a little with the redness. When I got this and used it, within 2 days to dry patches were clearing and the redness is just shy of completely gone. I cant believe I waited so long to try this. My doctor said it wasn't psoriasis or eczema but never told me what it was or offered any suggestions. Then I remembered I developed the seborrheic dermatitis in my 3rd trimester in 1980 while pregnant. So I looked for a product for it and found this. It burns slightly on application, I assume that means its working, the burning subsides quickly. I will be keeping this product around

I have struggled with redness and dry flaking burning skin for 4 years now. Nothing has worked at all. THIS WORKED WITHIN DAYS. I am floored this is working so well. My skin is NORMAL now. If I could give this a 1000 out of 5 I would. I now put this on first and the apply my other moisturizers and then makeup and it works great. No half way through the day my chin is flaking off. My skin is moisturized and looking great. Nothing else have even come close. Granted. It does have a smell. WORTH IT.

Used it for the 1st time and it does seem to help. The flakes haven’t come back as thick like they usually do the very next day of me scrubbing them out. The stuff does stink like Clinical Head and Shoulders which i also have to use unfortunately because i get the rash along my hair lines, behind ears and now for the first time, the corners of my eyebrows and i noticed it coming in around my cheeks where laugh lines appear. Once that started happening, i said uh uh something has to be done about this. Not having this stuff spreading to no where on my face! I believe this is just a flare up cuz usually my seb isn’t this bad. I read flare ups tend to happen during winter and with certain foods like dairy. It is winter and i do consume a lot of milk. Rest of the year i usually didn’t have to actively combat the rash. This is my 1st time having to do so. I never thought it would or could get this bad. This cream is helping out a lot but could be better. It does leave a film on the skin/hairline area drying out my hair. I didn’t feel any bad irritations. I will continue to use this cream during these flare ups and hopefully that’s all it is. I wouldn’t want to have to use this stuff everyday for the rest of my life. I hope i can break here and there due to the smell and the dryness of my hair. Usually i used ProActive because that also helps with Seb on the face really well. It contains the same medication salicylic acid that treats it. I have been out of it for about a year now. Buying more as i write this. Yes, i recommend trying this cream and i also recommend ProActive. It does help. 2 months update: My Seb Derm never came back in most of my places. Like, behind my ears and back hair line after using this only 3 times! I also just got a new shipment of Proactive yesterday so I’m back using that. So far so good! This is good for a quick remedy. The smell is the only reason I say it could be better.

I spent 10 months trying to get rid of a stubborn rash on my face. I tried everything from antifungal creams and zinc soap to even using a cold plasma machine. Sometimes it would improve for a day, but it always came right back. After reading the reviews saying this cream was a miracle worker, I figured it was worth a try. They weren’t kidding. Within 48 hours, my rash had completely cleared up. I honestly couldn’t believe it after everything else I had tried. I’ve spent close to 500$ trying every product suggested. I can’t say it’ll work for everyone, but it absolutely worked for me when nothing else did. If you’ve been dealing with a persistent facial rash and feel like you’ve tried everything, this product is definitely worth trying. I only wish I had found it months sooner! The pictures show on the left the rash that would never go away. Doesn’t help I have to wear a mask at work, I thought it was the mask at first and changed two different brands. Second picture is angry rash. Third picture is 3 days after using this cream! No redness or irritation. (I had a migraine, putting ice pack on my head). I hope this helps someone else who is in my situation!

Does it have a rather abrasive smell? Yes. DOES IT WORK? Oh my goodness…YES. I wish I had before and after pics. I knew what was in it, so I wasn’t surprised by the smell of it. What surprised me was that it worked. I have had SD for as long as I can remember. In my teen years and beyond it was primarily my scalp and I would get scaly patches behind my ears. As I got older, it moved to my face. I had no idea what it was until I was later in life, past my 50’s. I thought I had a sun sensitivity. I thought I had an allergy…I thought I had… Who knows what. All I knew was that I would get red down the sides of my nose, to the corners of my mouth and down my chin. It would burn. It would start to flake, it would spread. I tried creams, moisturizers, everything. Nothing worked permanently. I could ease it for a bit but it always came back. On my own, I started doing research and figured out what I had. I was horrified to learn there was no cure, nothing I could do except suffer in silence. Until now. This is NOT a “moisturizer” that’s why my rating is so low. I don’t know why that’s listed as something you rate, when that’s NOT what this is for. I rated the scent low…because yes, it has a strong, sulphuric smell. It’s not pleasant but it’s also not something I can’t work with. When I got it, I was in the middle of a vicious outbreak. I use “Simple” face wipes for sensitive skin to clean my face. I immediately cleaned my face and with just the tip of my finger, I put a tiny dab on my face and caught my breath because my skin was raw and it stung. I gritted my teeth and kept working, one tiny dab at a time. A very little of this goes a long way. For those complaining that it doesn’t “soak in” my question would be, how much are you using? If you glop it on like a moisturizer, yes, you’re going to have problems because it will look like you put on white clown makeup or zinc ointment. A tiny dab will do. Work with just the tip of your finger and gently wipe it on to the affected area. Dab it on and gently smooth it around. It will disappear into your skin. Keep working it in a little at a time. I can’t speak for anyone else but that first day I used it 3 times…and it stung. Each time, I cleaned my face and put it on again. Fortunately, I wasn’t working that day although I did the next day. The next day, I went through the routine and while my face was still very red, the flaking had stopped and the stinging was minimal. I told the kids I teach that I had medicine on my face to help with the problem I have and that it didn’t smell very nice. They all smiled and said it was okay, they hoped it helped my “sunburn”. (That’s what they call it. They know it’s a rash, but they always said it looked like I was sunburned). By the 3rd day, I could see improvement. The worst spots were still red but the “blistery” look I always had was gone. The other parts were fading. 4th day…all bright red, raw skin was healed, no flakes…redness on outer part was markedly faded. By the end of a week…totally gone. Totally. Skin looked normal. I looked in the mirror and cried. The kids I teach were all crowded around me telling me how nice I looked! They said the medicine smell didn’t bother them at all. That night I skipped the cream. Just cleaned my face. In the morning, no red splotches or flakes. I went through my day. No outbreak. That night, I cleaned my face before bed and used a tiny amount. In the morning I cleaned my face and had no smell and no SD. That’s been my routine ever since. I’ve been doing this for a month now. I go 1-2 days without using it…then AT NIGHT I use a tiny bit on the area by my nose where it always starts. Not one outbreak in a month. Okay…here’s a heads up. I use a My Pillow that can be washed and I did wash it to get the smell out since I’m a side sleeper and my face is on the pillow. You can buy a plastic pillow protector that zips on and I HIGHLY suggest you do that if you sleep with your face in the pillow. Put 2 pillow cases on your pillow, especially if you have a pillow that can’t be washed or needs to be dry cleaned. The plastic pillow protector can be wiped off with a damp cloth and you can use some soap if you need to, to get the smell off. If you double-case your pillow on top of that, you’re good. You can change the pillow cases as needed, even every night and toss the others in the wash. I could go 2-3 days and then I’d switch the inner case with the outer. It smelled faintly but I could go another couple of days. Toss those two in the wash…wipe down the pillow…start again. Being as how my pillow is washable and I generally washed it about once a month when I would wash the blankets…(I have a cat and a dog…the dog doesn’t sleep on the bed, but the cat does) my sheets and pillow cases usually get changed once a week, the blankets and bedspread would go a month. I’d toss my pillow into the wash along with everything else when I washed blankets. That’s the same schedule I keep now, if only because the “fill” of my pillow plumps up better after a wash. Anyway…protect your pillow if you sleep with your face in it. It works, it works, it works. I knew when I tried it that it MIGHT not work for me. Not everything works for everyone. I had read the reviews and knew it hadn’t worked for some people. I read the reviews carefully. I had also lived with this dreadful condition for years. I won’t go into the horrors I suffered over the years, because the story is the same as so many you can read here in the reviews. It’s miserable. Is this a miracle cure? It might not be for you. But it was for me. Thank you so much to the developers. That’s such a small word…but it’s all I can say. From the bottom of my heart…thank you.

It works on the area of my face and a spot on my chest that gets itchy, red, dry, and then flaky. After daily application, within a few days things feel normal when the dry flaky skin falls off. If I stop using it for a few days it will start to get irritated again. Just apply and it provides that relief. Been using it for about 3 weeks now. However, there is one big issue I am having with using this product. I heard Hell is supposed to smell like sulfur. This item has sulfur in it. Whenever I have it applied on my skin, I feel like Satan ate a ton of rotten eggs and thought it would be funny if he farted on my face in the morning. And the fart is so thick that it lingers on my face the rest of the day. I'm glad no one else has to smell my face and that I have some tolerance to stinky smells or else I would be gagging all day at work. My coworkers might hear it and start gagging too. In addition to the smell, it does leave a weird dry unpleasant feeling around my nasal passage and throat. My saliva and taste in my mouth is slightly affected. I’m sure it’s from smelling the sulfur for a certain amount of time. Sitting here smelling this sulfur fart on my face as I type this makes me depressed as I willingly did this to myself. It seems like I unknowingly made a deal with Satan through Amazon to get relief on my seborrheic dermatitis. The catch was convincing me to apply his fart cream onto my face to get that relief. Don’t get me wrong. The product works. I highly encourage anyone who is suffering from the effects of seborrheic dermatitis and are looking for alternatives to try it. It does its job. However, after I am “finished” using this bottle, I am going back to just plain 1% hydrocortisone or getting a doctor prescribed one. I have determined that I don’t need the Sulfur and Salicylic Acid. Others may need it. This product is not the best for me. Long backstory on why I used this for those that care: I've had seborrheic dermatitis for over a decade now. The first doctor called it face dandruff. She prescribed Desonide for me. I used it and it worked great. I was never dedicated to daily application as instructed back then. I would apply when it starts flaring up (stress or weather). The bottle even expired, but still worked and it lasted a long time. After the second prescription I felt it was tedious to do a co-pay with a doctor for a simple skin cream. A chain store pharmacy consultant recommended that I try 1% hydrocortisone from the shelf. Viola, it worked. It did not feel as strong or lasted as long as Desonide. However, I didn't have to go through a doctor so the convenience is nice, it simply worked, and the store brand was fine. Recently, I heard that long term use of hydrocortisone was bad for the skin (unsure if this is true because it's the internet), I wanted to find out if there was an alternative. Here comes this product with extra stuff. Sulfur and Salicylic Acid in addition to the hydrocortisone. My thought process was that if this was more effective than just hydrocortisone by itself, it would last longer before I'd have to reapply. That way I wouldn't be putting so much hydrocortisone on my face in the long run. So far it seems like they are similarly effective with no indication that one does a better job than the other. So I would much rather prefer to use the plain 1% hydrocortisone. That’s from my personal experience and testing.

I’ve been struggling with seborrheic dermatitis for the past three years and have tried countless creams with little to no success. I came across this product and decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. After just one week of using it, my skin is completely transformed. The redness and irritation are gone, the flaking has stopped, and the constant itching has disappeared. My face is finally clear, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re dealing with seborrheic dermatitis and haven’t found anything that works, I highly recommend giving this cream a try. It has been a game-changer for me!

Not sure of the performance
