I've tried so many different creams, lotions, salves etc and the secret salve (and Roz's salve) was the only thing that actually helped my son's eczema. He scratches significantly less when we use the salves and it looks sooooo much better (if we could convince a 1 yr old not to scratch, it would probably heal completely). We used both salves, alternating between uses and have had great success.
