For Dry Skin "I bought Eucerin because some doctor said it is good for dry skin and eczema. I noticed that I've been having itch all over my body with some rash/little bumps for weeks. I couldn't even sleep. It was so bad! I thought I had bed bugs in my bed or I ate something that triggered some unknown allergies. But nope! After observing for days of using the product vs. another cream/lotion, I figured out that Eucerin was the culprit. So sad and mad about it at the same time."

For Dry Skin "I used this on my hands tonight for the first time ever. Within five minutes, I had intense itching, redness, swelling, and bumps. I had to wash my hands twice and rinse them under cold water. The itching has subsided, but my hands are still swollen, red, and have bumps. I threw the rest away, never again."

For Dry Skin "I used Eucerin Christmas Eve for the first time and again on Christmas Day for dry skin on my hands. Both hands turned red, swelled up terribly, became hot to the touch, and itched badly, and I got weird bumps on the back of my hands around my wrists and up toward my forearms. I threw the bottle away. I am still experiencing the symptoms, but they are becoming milder on the 3rd day."

For Dry Skin "I used Eucerin Advanced Repair and liked that it is fragrance-free, as I have sensitive skin. I used it at night after a shower, and every night I could not sleep-my skin was so itchy I just couldn't take it, and I eventually broke out into hives. I stopped using it, and my problem went away. I don't know which ingredient I was allergic to, but I did find out it has DMDM (a form of formaldehyde). It also felt greasy and sticky."

For Dry Skin "I should've read these reviews first, but I trusted the brand after a pharmacist recommended their foot cream, and their words on healing my eczema. Their lotion, however, burns and causes more itching. Why don't they ever have testers for these?"

For Dry Skin "My eyes and face got swollen after a month of using Eucerin. I thought I had a food allergy. My whole face feels so itchy, and I have rashes around my eyes and face! I have to stop using this product!"

For Dry Skin "My dermatologist recommended Eucerin for dry, itching skin on my shins. I shave my head, and that really creates some itchiness, and this med works for me. I recommend."
