Noble Formula Alise's Maintenance Cream for Itching, Redness, Irritation, Scaling, and Flaking, Moisturizing Cream, 4 oz

I love this. It is actually fading my age spots and clearing up my skin.

In July 2013, I had the misfortune to develop allergy-induced pink eye, for which I was prescribed a medicated eye drop. The second day of using these eye drops, I noticed red flaking on my eyelids. I thought it was residual from the thick eye drops, but it persisted even after the conjunctivitis was healed. I saw doctors who said it was one thing and another, but nobody could give me a prescription that helped relieve my symptoms. Meanwhile, I was suffering physically and mentally. My eyelids were red, inflamed, scaly and peeling, and I was mortified. This lasted until around Christmas, when a PA prescribed me a hydrocortisone cream. A couple weeks later, the flakiness stopped and my eyelids returned to normal. I did it. I survived. This mystery ailment was defeated! Wrong. July 2014 comes around, and to my deepest dismay, I notice my eyelids have begun to scale like a lizard. The first thing I did was fall into an instant panic. How am I expected to live like a lizard for half of the year every year? I knew my best approach would be to pick up some hydrocortisone cream and hope it nips this issue in the bud. Oh wait, I don't want to leave my house with lizard eyelids. Best check Amazon. That's when I stumbled upon Noble Formula HC Cream. (This is starting to sound like a commercial). Despite the price, I was inspired to purchase a container because of the excellent reviews and the claim that it's formulated for the most sensitive areas (like eyelids, in my case). I received it two days later and made the first application, which requires very little cream. No burning! I like that. No white residue on my eyelids either. Bonus. I make another application in the evening before bed. I wake up and check out my eyelids. They haven't gotten worse. That's good news. I make two more applications that day. The third day, I wake up and hop in the shower. Since my first struggle with atopic dermatitis, I've been washing my eyelids with baby shampoo. No different today, but -- wait -- yes, different. Could it be? My eyelids are baby soft. There's no scaling. There's no flaking. Three days. This kicked my eczema in three days. Sorcery. Witchcraft. I don't care. I'll take it. TL;DR: This stuff works like magic. Buy it. With your money.

This formula helps keep my lifelong troublesome skin in check - as long as I use it religiously. A few days off and the skin is broken out again. So it's not a cure - yet - but it helps more than anything else I've ever used that wasn't a prescription cortisone cream. Aristocort (R) prescription (no longer available) was the first cream (not ointment) that helped back in 1971. I've had this issue on different body parts since the 1950s. Update: I'm now on my fourth jar. Quick suggestion. Since a little goes a long way, use a small spoon, dip fingers into the spoon (instead of the jar) and *then* apply to skin. Wash the spoon. This eliminates the finger-in-the-jar transfer that often contaminates the rest. Works for me and jar lasts much longer this way. I would actually like a pump jar to eliminate the spoon altogether. Later: So I took my own advice and transferred contents into a small pump bottle. This eliminates the spoon. Just in case cream is affected by light, I keep it in a dark drawer. Will look for an opaque pump jar for the next order. OK, July 8, 2015 Fifth Jar Small pump bottle works fine - instead of putting my fingers into the jar every day = contamination issues. After a few months the cream always smells a bit "rancid." Could be the container was not opaque enough. So, this time I purchased a truly opaque bottle also from Amazon (Infinity Jars 100 Ml (3.4 Oz) Black Ultraviolet Glass Push Pump Bottle). Very expensive bottle but truly opaque. The neck is very narrow so I spooned almost the entire jar into a plastic sandwich baggie and piped it gently into the narrow opening. It pumps very well and I hope the very dark environment will help preserve the contents. May I suggest Noble Formula do something like this. A $40 jar lasts a long time but not if it becomes contaminated by fingertips or containers that are not dark enough to preserve it. Update June 17, 2017: The *Infinity Jars 100 Ml (3.4 Oz) Black Ultraviolet Glass Push Pump Bottle* jar (from Amazon) worked! I was able to keep this cream fresh for nearly 2 years. As before, it works to soothe redness, fresh bumps and itchiness but still does NOT cure. I only use a little as the irritation gets worse in the winter with a more "closed in" environment. The black glass and pump delivery system which keeps air and other contaminants out are key. If you use this cream, please consider transferring to another container if this fairly expensive cream goes rancid sooner than you'd like.

Helped with my itch almost as good as my prescription cream

I have tried everything including rx Ketoconazole cream to try to keep my seborrheic dermatitis secret, or at least at bay. Nothing worked, not even the pyrithione zinc soap. I finally decided to give this a shot since it has a lot of 5 stars, and man am I glad I did! This stuff basically clears up all the red/flaky areas on my face, and the itch is gone! Note that the first couple of applications or so it looked like it was going to be worse. Areas became redder and instead of itch it was more of a light burn sensation. But I hung in there and after a month, I just apply as needed on areas that start to get red/scaly again before it gets to "full blown" problem. I first gently with my fingernail get all the flakes I can off the area without digging much, get rid of the looser ones. I try to clear up the flakes first without making the redness worse. Takes awhile to get the hang of it, but I find if I clear up the scales myself before the cream that the result is no scales after the cream. When I need to apply it, I do it at night as you have to give it a few hours for it to take noticable effect imo. My worst areas are forehead, nose (especially creases), and a couple spots around my mouth and chin areas. There has been a week where I haven't had to apply it at all, but generally I'd say a couple times a week when I see it's coming back. Remember that there is no cure for SD so the best you can do is to hide it and keep any itching at bay, and this cream is most definitely a goldmine for me. So glad I found this and wish I had sooner so I wouldn't have spent so much $ on otc and rx stuff claiming it works for SD! Give it a go I say!

I use it daily. Great moisturizing cream which is not greasy.

I didn't see the results clearly.Thought it would help me but made things worse ,I reacted
