Has anybody tried this product? I read about it in the Costco magazine. The reviews on Costco.com are positive, but not specifically regarding eczema control, which is what the article claimed. It's $50.00 for 2 liters, so before I press "buy" I'm wondering if anyone has used it.
I've never used it but it looks expensive. I use Cetaphil and many stores have a generic version of it, which seems just as good. (My dermotologist told me never to use soap on skin inflamed with eczema, so just avoiding soap may provide more relief than a non-soap product.)

I thought I would come back and update this. I bought a single bottle at Costco last month for $19.99, and it has been a miracle worker. All my eczema has cleared up. Now, I just have to hope Costco keeps it in stock.
Just to update anybody who uses Sebamed: I was at Costco today picking up a bottle for my son, who uses it to combat some acne on his back ( successfully). The cashier asked me if there was a lot of stock left, because they were closing it out. New price is $14.97. I have to go back and stock up. It worked on my eczema like nothing else ever has, and I will be miserable if/when I can't get any more.
We have used it. It dried out our skin terribly. And it smells bad. And it has artificial coloring in it. We went back to using Cetaphil, which you can also buy at CostCo and for much less.
There is a soap called aveno I think which is made from oats. It was recommended by my herbalist one time. If you can get that, it is good. I have had eczema since I was a kid and it seems that a lot of flare-ups are due to diet intolerances to dairy etc.
I also have been doing energy meridian stretches which seem to help too.
I think eczema is a complicated disease and there are probably many forms and different triggers which cause problems for us in different ways. Strange how they dont know what causes it, but stress definitely makes it worse, for me anyway.
