Amazon Basic Care Hydrocortisone 1% Anti-Itch Cream, White, 2 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I recently had a flare up of some eczema on my hand, as well as a mild rash (presumably from heat). I went to my medicine cabinet, and realized I was low on my usual cream. I ordered this Amazon Basic Care Maximum Strength Hydrocortisone (1%) Anti-Itch cream, and am so glad I did! This cream has a nice texture to it; it feels moisturizing and soothing to my skin, whilst helping itchiness quickly. This cream is very mild, as well as gentle on my skin; it has a slight cooling and comforting feeling (which is also helpful). There's no stinging or unpleasant feeling, and it doesn't feel greasy either. I've found that a little bit of this cream goes a long way, so I feel the quality and longevity is very good. This is a great product to have on hand; whether in a medicine cabinet, first aid kit, or for on-the-go purposes. I think this is a good value for the size and price, and would definitely recommend this! Works very well, and contains enough in the tube to last me a while. Very pleased with this cream.

Great lotion for anti-itch needs. It's very easy to apply, is not greasy and does not have an odor. It's very effective for my husband's rash and keeps him from scratching.

This is a great cheaper option compared to buying similar products at pharmacy stores like CVS or Walgreens. You get more product for the price, which makes it a much better value. It works well and is convenient to have on hand at home. I was happy with the size, quality, and price. Overall, I would definitely purchase this again and recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable option.

A simple OTC product that is a store brand and works. Same active ingredients as the name brand for a lower costs. Had bug bites after a hiking trip and it worked to stop the itching. The 2oz size is enough for several hiking trips worth of bug bites.

It helped me a lot with my winter dermatitis (in my hands) caused by the cold weather. It really helps calm the itching and irritation, and a small amount goes a long way, so the product lasts quite a while. Overall, very effective and worth it. Used it together with aveeno eczema therapy cream.

Great product

I have used my fair share of anti-itch and eczema-relieving lotions over the years, but this Amazon Basic Care Maximum Strength 1% Hydrocortisone Lotion is one of those rare finds that really does what it promises. The first thing I noticed about this lotion is the immediate result. The itching and irritation subside almost immediately. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, eczema, or random skin rashes, this lotion gives you the instant relief you look for. You don’t have to keep reapplying the lotion to get the desired results. But what really makes this lotion stand out from the rest is the way it combines the healing properties with moisturizing properties. While many hydrocortisone-based lotions feel either too medicated or too drying on the skin, this lotion really does feel moisturizing. The lotion is easy to apply, absorbs well, and doesn’t feel greasy or sticky on the skin. So, the 24-hour moisture claim really does stand up to its name. While I still use it as needed, I’ve found that my skin stays nice and calm throughout the day compared to other products I’ve used. It’s helped reduce the redness and flare-ups over time. Another big plus is the combination of ingredients. Along with the 1% hydrocortisone, it also has moisturizers, botanicals, and vitamins A, C, and E. So, it really does feel like a skincare product, not just something to temporarily treat the symptoms. I also like the size and price. It’s a nice size for the price and considering it works well compared to name-brand products, it’s worth it. Of course, there’s one thing to remember that, like any hydrocortisone-based cream, it should not be overused. However, for flare-ups, it does exactly what I need it to do. In my opinion, this is a solid solution for itchy, irritated skin. It works well, it’s comfortable to use, and it provides long-term relief without any of the side effects of the other creams. Something I’d recommend keeping on hand.

I bought this for going to a tropical island where humidity, heat, and bug bites are a common occurrence. I knew mosquito bites were going to be an inevitability, even with a strong mosquito repellant (deet). Indeed, I got a few bites going outside at night, but when I put this stuff on the affected area after returning home, it was like the bites didn't even exist after about 5 minutes. I pretty much forgot about them. So would I recommend this product? Of course! It is a sanity saver, and will definitely help you sleep comfortably at night without needing to scratch an unrelenting itch until you pass out from exhaustion. If you are going anywhere where mosquitos or other parasites are in abundance, the inevitability of bites makes this product a "must have".
