Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Started using this product about 3 1/2 years ago after the nurse at my dermatologists office recommended it. For the first few months, it was fine. It dried me out a bit, but I was oily so that was more a benefit than anything else. Then, about 6 months after starting it, I ended up with these painful rashes on my eyelids. My dermatologist thought it was my nail polish, as I had just started wearing it again after a long break. Stopped the nail polish, got medicine for eyelids, things got better but never completely better. I went through constant cycles of rash-scaly skin-flakes on my eyelids for the next couple of years. I couldn't wear makeup because it was painful and looked awful. Meanwhile, I started getting the same rash on my scalp, ears, and under my skin. After some product elimination (but not my face wash because he thought I was using cetaphil like he suggested), we decided it was just the dry, sometimes windy and hot, weather. So for the next two years I dealt with it. The whole thing was actually pretty embarrassing because random flakes of skin would just fall off at random, usually when I was having a conversation. About 6 months ago I read a review on another site that listed symptoms just like mine, so I followed my dermatologist's original advice and switched to cetaphil. The rash disappeared in only a couple days. It seems like a lot of people like this product, and that's great, but if you're having problems like mine it might be due to the cerave.
