I have severe excma. Splitting skin, blisters. Dry flaky skin. All over hands and 1 foot. Been using steroid creams for years with little or no effect. Friend recommended Carolines cream. Have only been using it for just over 24 hours and am blown away with skin already healing. Blisters have flattened down to just red marks. Itching almost gone.… Read more

Looks 100 percent better already. Cannot wait to see improvements in next week. I highly recommend Carolines Cream. Its just a miracle. Smell is not that bad either.

No other moisturiser with added benefits comes even close to this 100 percent Australian made product. It is especially good for slightly itching skin conditions but I now use it as a moisturiser for body and face. It contains calendula oil along with other herbs , which is great for healing any skin conditions. It has a light fragrance and… Read more

very low irritant and amazing to use after shaving and waxing to prevent redness , and perfect for any rashes. This cream is truly unparalleled on the market. We cannot live without it , it gets dragged along on every holiday we go to - decantered into small containers for everything!

Stops itching – This cream works very well to stop itching and calm eczema, though it doesn't smell great. However, for many people, including myself, after some time, it may stop being effective. You then need to switch to another eczema cream until that begins to fail. Then switch back to Caroline's. It seems to be that eczema skin gets 'used' to the treatment.… Read more

Well that's my experience, hope it helps someone. Also, on top of any eczema cream, I also use a layer of heavy moisturiser cream, prevents drying out. Most eczema creams only stop itching, and are not sufficiently moisturising. Caroline's does the job it claims - stops itching. Good luck!

Great at keeping things at bay – I've been using Caroline's cream for 10+ years to help with ezcema and psoriasis. Whilst it can't be a complete substitute for medicated creams when flare ups are bad, I use it in conjunction with treatments and between treatments. It's always had a positive effect on my skin. It's one of the only creams I fully trust and know will work well with… Read more

my skin. I've never had an adverse reaction to this but I suppose it's also highly dependent on if you personally react to certain ingredients etc so patch testing would be wise.

Another waste of money – Another crappy cream!! Used it after seeing it on tv as a miracle cream quite a few years ago. Disappointed! Made my skin worse. I contacted the company and was told to use the whole bottle, I did. No improvement, made my psoriasis dryer, more irritable Don’t waste your money Show details

Burn relief – Touched a hot saucepan and immediately put my hand under cold water. Hand was still throbbing so put on Carolines cream - instant relief and burn healed quickly. I was amazed Show details

Red reaction – Unfortunately I had a very red reaction, I thought it may improve my rosacea but I ended up looking like I was badly sunburnt. Such a shame as I had heard very good reviews.

Never arrives – I ordered the cream and wash online through their website. I had to follow them up for an invoice to prove I had paid for the products. It confirmed that I would get my products in 2 weeks and I would get a confirmation email that my order had been shipped. Then I had to follow up again on the 3rd week to see where my order was because I hadn't… Read more

gotten an email. Then they told me I had gotten an email from them that said they were out of stock and I had to wait 2 weeks before they could send my order- this email was apparently sent before my invoice email. But it had been 3 weeks and they still hadn't sent my order! Then they say another 2 weeks referring to an email they only know about that confirmed a 2 week delay sent 3 weeks ago.

I think they are a scam website, I got my money back because I used PayPal.

Not impressed, only made it worse – I’ve been using this cream for a week and thought my eczema would improve and get better due to the advertisements on tv, however it only made it worse and more irritated. Would not recommend this product to anyone. My eczema has never been this bad before. Not impressed at all.

My favorite body moisturiser – While I have only two or three very small spots of eczema due to my very dry skin, I have found this moisturizer to be one of the best. It feels very smoothing. The closest to describe the smell is that it smells a bit like a mix of oatmeal and avocado and bees wax. It is is a fairly neutral smell (neither pleasant nor unpleasant) with dissipates… Read more

after 10 min or so.

Overall I prefer Caroline's cream above all other products especially when the weather outside is dry and/or cold. During a hot and humid climate I tend to prefer a lighter lotion such as Moogoo.

Didn't do anything for eczema - but incredible as a daily face cream! – This did nothing for my eczema so it ended up being cast to the back of my medicine cabinet, where moisturisers go to die. One day, I ran out of my old faithful daily face cream and when I went to purchase more I found out that it had been discontinued... Disaster. To the back of the medicine cabinet I went, and I pulled out Caroline's Cream. … Read more

I thought it would do for now until I could find something more suitable. My skin is dry and flaky in some spots, and is like an oil slick in others. It has spots of discolouration where it almost looks yellow and red patches all over. It has been a constant problem since I was about 12 years old and nothing has really been able to fix it for any length of time. I started using the cream on my face and it seemed to make it even worse. My dry patches were dryer and my oily patches oilier. My discoloured patches had gone almost Simpson yellow. I don't know why I continued to persist with this cream but I am so glad that I did. After about a month my skin reached some sort of equilibrium. The patches are gone. My face is as soft as silk. My skin literally looks like it belongs to a 7 year old. There are no oily or dry patches. This cream has actually changed my life and the way I see myself. Thanks to the people who made this amazing product!!

Worsened eczema – The first perhaps 2 tubes I bought worked well on my eczema-ridden hands, in that the cream kept my hands moisturised without being overly greasy. Greasiness was always an itch trigger during flare ups. It didn’t improve the eczema but it didn’t worsen it, plus it did relieve the itching a bit. So I bought the larger pump bottle of cream, and… Read more

after a while it was as if my hands were just getting dryer with each use, causing severe cracking. Discontinuing use for a few weeks then restarting had the same result - I'd put it on before bed and wake up with hands cracked like little paper cuts all over them. Have wanted to try it on my toddler’s eczema but am too scared. Am perplexed about the shift in results in my experience.

Best product for babies – My baby had eczema on 90% of his body. I tried numerous other products which failed before I was recommended Caroline's cream. It's cleared his skin up and provided great relief. Thank you!

Like waterdid not – Did not do a thing. Was like a watered down cream I thought someone has finally found something that works and decided to make it. Had absolutley no reaction to my hands dont buy it or they should make a trail size. Because its not cheap

Amazing!!! – My daughter suffered from eczema for many years. She was continually on several forms of cortisone creams and tablets.... A pharmacist suggested Caroline's cream. It keeps her eczema at bay and rarely has any outbreaks....

Meh. Honestly didn't do much – Honestly it didn't do anything. I had very bad eczema on my neck that was TERRIBLY itchy and continued to get worse. Using the cream didn't make it any less itchy or inflamed or dry unfortunately (I even bought the big bottle because I was so sure it would work considering the amount of crazy good reviews it gets). Absolutely nothing has worked… Read more

until I was prescribed Elecon and the eczema significantly calmed down within 2 nights. Since I have so much left over, I use it as a moisturiser for my back acne. It worked a tiny bit with consistent use but I have a feeling it wasn't necessarily this Cream's workings, it was just the fact that my back needed moisture... When I use it as a moisturiser for my legs, it leaves it feeling even more dry which I found extremely odd. Using it on the insides of my elbows did, however, prevent my eczema in that area from flaring up. I can say it's SOMEWHAT a preventative cream for some sensitive areas if there is no irritation present to begin with, but it definitely doesn't help (well, it didn't for me) the irritation to go away when it is already there.

Wouldn't use any other cream – This incredible product is so good for sensitive skin. I use it from face to body and it's perfect for all. Non greasy, no smell at all that I can detect. I hope I can continue to purchase this economical quality product for the rest of my life! Interesting that some of the other reviewers use it on their animals with good result. Hadn't thought of that.

Really the Best Cream and its Australian – This cream cured my skin problem totally and forever. My palms were painful, red and totally embarrassing but I've said this before. My new info is that it works on my staffie who is allergic to the terrible wondering dew and it works really fast too! The real Carolyn may not ever read this but, thanks Carolyn :) go girl!

After smell – I found this cream to be excellent for itchy skin and bites. Although the smell of it is satisfactory when applying it, it quickly develops a very horrible smell. Perhaps it could be further researched to establish what causes the smell and whether it is possible to eliminate it. The after-smell is disgusting!

JUST BRILLIANT – My daughter had really bad dermatitis on her hands and we had tried all the prescription creams with no success. Her skin was raw and splitting she used Caroline's Cream for about a week and the difference was amazing. I have never seen anything this good before and I have recommended this cream to heaps of people and they have all had the same… Read more

results. Also my daughter had about 10 wort's on her hands too at the time of the dermatitis and they all disappeared as well. Truly the best cream ever keep up the good work.

extra good – I usually buy this Caroline's skincare products from priceline in towradg and used them just after i shower and found it to a superior product and the ingredients are all natural / I found it easy to dispense when I put skincare moisturiser in my skin after having a shower though the chemist temporarily out of stock / I totally recommend this… Read more ·  2

product for any type of skin / I dig it heaps though when I try to use the Carolines tube pack the cream just drops out my hand so I prefer the Carolines pump pack / the towradgi gold cross chemist stated they had some on order / can't wait till the stock arrives so I can buy some more even though it's a bit expensive at about 30 dollars I consider it worth every dollar spent on it

Highly recommend Caroline's Products – I have had allergic dermatitis which has been getting worse over 12 months constant symptoms. I used Caroline's shower wash and felt instant relief. I went back and purchased the cream which I now use after showering with the shower cream. My skin has made some recovery, and still going after 1 week. No other product or medication does not come close. I'm spreading the good word to others that suffer any skin ailments. Thank you Caroline!!!,!

Excellent! Worked better than hydrocortisone or dr's cream – Was diagnosed with atopic dermititis, tried everything which just aggravated it, finally my own chemist recommended Caroline's cream together with coal tar cream.. A week later my arms are transformed! Only have a couple of areas to clear up. Using the all purpose shower gel and cream... And doesnt sting!!! Works

Didn't work for us!! :-( – My step daughter has very bad eczema and we usually use novasone which we need a prescription for. 2 weeks ago she ran out of novasone and I bought her Caroline's cream. Since then she has used it twice a day for the last 2 weeks and instead of making the eczema, it has spread it from her chest down to her stomach and her lower back up to her… Read more

neck. We thought we were seeing results on her arms but now they have also spread. She also said its made her more itchy. We really wanted this to work for us because it would have meant no more doctors trips and paying $30 for a 30ml tube of her normal stuff. It Obviously doesn't work for everyone :-(

It definitely works – I have Eczema and Psoriasis all over. Have been battling to hydrate my skin.I started using Caroline's shower and shampoo and cream after shower. I could not believe the improvement. No itch overnight and slept peacefully and woke up to an 80% improvement of my skin!. My skin felt soft and moisturised the next day. It's a miracle cream for me.… Read more

It has a nice scent and goes straight into the skin. No mess. Maybe the smaller cream tube opening could be smaller or the cream made slightly thicker as it runs out too quickly.

40 plus years of psoriasis – I tried this cream recently for my Psoriasis as the moisturizer that I usually buy was not in stock. I had given up on all treatments a year or two ago and decided to cover up and shut up. After just under 2 weeks my skin has improved so much I am now wearing short sleeves and shorter hem lines. I can't believe the difference . I have suffered… Read more ·  1

for over 40 years and the last 10 years have been severe, I was even in hospital for 5 weeks . Medications made me sick and it also created further health problems hence why I chose to give up treatments.

wont use anything but this cream ever again its awsome – I've had problems with eczema on my face for years. iv tried just about every cream lotion and ointment the doctor prescribes me, most dont work...or work for a few days then stop working. One day i walked into the pharmacy to get yet another lotion the doctor wanted me to try and the sales lady asked me if iv ever tried caroline's cream, i… Read more

Impressed indeed! – Used it twice daily on a badly burnt patch of my skin and for bumpy skin on my upper arms. My arms have smoothed (not 100% but way better) much to my surprise and the cream did wonders for the burnt area. I have only tried the cream not the body/hair wash. I've already recommended it to someone else that suffers from ezcema - she is very… Read more ·  1

happy! The fact that it is Australian made and all from natural ingredients. that something really works. Texture is quite runny so I have to keep it in the fridge. There is a slight smell to it afterwards on my skin but not when I immediately put it on. It reminds me a bit of egg smell?? Quite price also - it would be good if price was lowered slightly

Fantastic for my 8 yr old's eczema – Wanted a natural alternative to steroid creams and had tried several that were OK. Was told by a colleague about Caroline's Cream as it had worked wonders on her daughter's eczema so thought I'd give it a go. The sales assistant also recommended I try the body wash/shampoo on her as most people forget about their shampoo. We've been using it for… Read more

a few months now twice a day (as well as the wash/shampoo) and it really does work. Took about a week to have an effect but since then has kept eczema and dry skin at bay. Her skin feels really hydrated. If her eczema flairs up, she ups the times a day she applies the cream, I'd definitely recommend it!

I find the texture to be just right (certainly doesn't need the fridge in Melbourne), no strong smell and doesn't sting (unlike some other natural creams). She happily applies it with no encouragement - a big battle won! It works!
