"I have used Dermasil lotion, from the Dollar Tree, day and night versions, for years, using most days. Since 2006, I have been having VERY bad allergic reactions (very swollen, red, itchy, scaly, peeling DRY, tight skin on my upper eyelids and below! Then determined I was allergic to shellac, an ingredient in mascara. But the issue keeps coming back even though I haven't worn mascara in over 5 years! In early December 2020, I FiNALLY stopped using Dermasil, to see what would happen, after a very bad 4-week bout, and magically, in one day of no use, my facial/eye area was almost back to being ME! Will never be using this product again."

"This lotion says it is hypoallergenic, yet one of the ingredients is methyllisothiazolinone, which was voted by the dermatological society as the number one allergen of 2013. It is usually used in shampoos and liquid soap, but to have it in a lotion is terrible. If you aren't allergic, you may become allergic with continued usage. Beware. This lotion has too much water in it for very dry skin. Go with a cream. The package says to recycle but isn't marked for USA recycling."

"Applied this product one time and went into anaphylactic shock three hours later after it absorbed into my skin. The product not only gave me severe hives and difficulty breathing, but also gave me chemical burns and blisters that may leave permanent scarring. My doctors said this product could have killed me, the reaction was so severe. I contacted Dermasil after seeing 6 doctors and still receiving medical treatment 20 days later, and they could not have cared less."

"I used this lotion on my hands and elbows for dry skin. Within minutes, I broke out in hives all over my body. It was itching uncontrollably, and my face, eyes, lips, and hands swelled up like a balloon. I ended up in the ER with an epinephrine shot. This product needs to be taken off shelves. Hypoallergenic???? False advertising. Want to rate 0/10."

"I love this cream! I have extremely dry skin on my body. It itches-terrible. This is the only cream that gives me relief. I apply it daily all over, and problem solved!! It's affordable. I get it at the Dollar Store. I wish it smelled a bit better, but I can live with it because it works so well."

"I love this lotion. My skin was dry on my legs and arms, and now, after using Dermasil, I have softer and smoother skin in those areas. I am really satisfied. It also absorbs easily and leaves no greasy feel."

"I give this product a nine-at least. I have excess dry skin on my legs and arms. Sometimes it's so dry that I itch. This lotion is the only thing I have found that actually works and keeps working throughout the day. I apply a nice coat over my legs and arms daily. No more dry skin or itchiness. It's easy to find and affordable. I've even found it in the Dollar Store. I recommend trying it as a body lotion...it really works!!!"

"I tried this on my legs tonight for the first time, and they are on fire! No recent shave or anything else that would bring such a reaction on. Definitely going in the trash! I’ve used it on my hands before, but didn’t notice any improvement in dryness."

"I first started using the oatmeal with chamomile one, and it worked for my skin, cures my itchy and dry skin. Then, omg, I found the Dermasil Aloe Fresh, love it. All the brand names I tried failed me, but I am sticking to this one. I stocked up on it at my local Dollar Tree."

"I had some really dry skin, and the only lotion I found in my apartment was a new bottle of Dermasil. No idea where it came from, maybe I grabbed it on sale, or a friend might have gotten it for me a while ago, and I never used it. So, I used it, and it made my skin burn. But also, after it dried, all the lotion just like came off my face in little balls. It just dried on my skin, it didn't actually absorb into my skin. I noticed it does this also if I rub it in for too long, which really isn't long enough. It acts more like that white Elmer glue and gets sticky, then turns into boogers rather than absorbing into my skin. So, I thought I would look it up to see how bad it is, but a lot of places give it a so-so review, so I don't know, this stuff is pretty bad."

"I use the Cocoa Butter and the Aloe Vera lotions. The lotions leave my skin feeling very smooth. Hours after applying the lotion, my skin is still very soft and smooth. I absolutely love this brand and recommend it to those with dry skin. I give Dermasil a 10!!!"

"Inexpensive and worked great until I got contact dermatitis. Sudden red rashes with tiny oozing bumps. Discontinued use and treated, and it has never come back."

"From the second you rub it in, your hands feel like you just used soap or shampoo as a lotion. I don’t know how else to explain it … an absolutely awful sticky feeling. Waste."

"I have psoriasis. I found the cream for eczema and aloe vera. They are the only ones helping me with it. Bad reviews mean some people do not want the consumer to know how good it is because of the price, and they will lose customers. Believe me, it’s the best!"
