Cortizone-10 Maximum Strength Intensive Healing Itch Relief Cream, 1% Hydrocortisone, Fast-Acting, Anti-Itch Cream for Bug Bites, Rash, Eczema, Psoriasis, Poison Ivy, Oak, Sumac & More, 2 oz

This is the first time I have bought and used the maximum strength version of this product. It does help for mosquito and other bites. If you get skeeter syndrome like me when you get bit by a mosquito with bite swelling and intense itching, it will take most of the itch away, but not all of it. I love how it will relieve itching with other bug bites and just itchy skin in general. It is in a tube and comes out easily and doesn't hurt to put it on the area. It is a nice size to put in your purse and it's a good value for the money. It's great to use when you have to take Benadryl pills so you can't use Benadryl cream on the skin too. This is a pretty good replacement for that.

Well, I am impressed. After I went though a lot of stress and grief, I broke out in a few places with what the dermatologist said was my body's response to stress and upheaval. Once things settled down, they went away, except for one spot that was still being stubborn and wouldn't go away, mostly because I wouldn't leave it alone and made it worse. After some frustrating weeks of trying this and trying that, I remembered using this brand when I visited the Deep South and was eaten up by mosquitoes and how much this cream helped with the itch and swelling and redness, so I gave it a try -- glad I did and only wish I had done it much sooner. After two applications there was a very noticeable difference in the redness and inflammation. After around 3 or 4 applications, it's almost invisible. And it's not irritating me like it was. I would think another day or two of 2-4 applications a day and it'll be gone. It's easy to use, though I saw a spray and that would be even easier! It absorbs quickly. The consistency is thick but not gloopy or toothpaste thick. The size of the tube is generous, especially considering I rarely would have to use this as my skin is normally not reactive to stress like this, but since I moved to Oregon from WNC rather recently, there are sometimes mosquitoes here (not like the Deep South though!), so I'll be prepared. Very happy with my order of Corizone 10.

Very pleased with this purchase. I developed a sort of contact dermatitis on my arm relating to my watch band. I probably tried about 5 different products before landing on this one. None of them helped like this did - and it helped so quickly! Even after one day of use it was looking way better than it had in a week and a half. And the moisturizing qualities were a huge bonus - it didn’t just handle the dermatitis but leave everything dried out, it healed and enriched the area. No scent to irritate my sensitive skin. It absorbed relatively quickly. Wasn’t sticky or messy. So grateful for the relief this brought so quickly. Definitely a new fan!

This has been a great find for my husband’s eczema. We’ve tried quite a few different products over time, and this one really stands out. It not only helps calm his flare-ups, but it also moisturizes his skin at the same time, which is a huge plus. The size it comes in lasts him a few weeks even with daily use, which we really appreciate. It also dries quickly after applying but still keeps his skin well moisturized, so it’s not greasy, sticky or uncomfortable. What I really like is that it doesn’t seem to thin out his skin like some other steroid creams have in the past. Another big win for us is that his skin didn’t “get used to it” and stop responding—something we’ve run into before with other treatments. The “maximum strength” claim really holds true, because his skin doesn’t relapse when he consistently uses this product. Overall, this has been very effective and reliable for his eczema, and I would definitely recommend it to others dealing with similar skin issues.

Needed for really bad allergy reaction, however didn't work as well as calamine lotion.

It's hard to beat Cortizone-10 for itch relief. I have allergies, and sometimes just being outside will cause skin irritation. This product really helps control that, so I can enjoy being outdoors. It doesn't have any sort of noticeable smell, and it goes on smoothly without leaving a sticky film. I like to keep a tube in my house, a tube in my purse, and a tube in my suitcase for when I go on vacation during allergy season, and I will probably always buy this brand. I've bought knock-off brands before, and I don't think they have quite the same consistency.

This is a good sized package of Cortizone-10 Maximum Strength. It helps itching tremendously. I use it for insect bites, skin rashes, etc. I highly recommend this smooth, white cream. It does not have an odor.

Stops the itch fast. Not greasy and no scent. Works better than any other brand or competitor out there. Would recommend.
