- Dermeleve Dermatologist Recommended Steroid Free Anti-Itch Cream, 4oz 1 Ct. | Extra Strength, Safe, Full Body Itch Relief

I don't often write reviews, but this product deserves one.A few years ago, I developed a food allergy which caused rashes all over my body. My dermatologist gave me some prescription creams. They did help relieve the itchiness and the rashes eventually went away. However, every time I ate certain food, the rashes came back. When it happened, I would apply the creams and they would go away, except for a stubborn area on my leg. The area was itchy and the cream I had been using started to lose effectiveness as years went by. I kept scratching which caused the skin to break, the clear liquid came out and spread more. The symptoms persisted if not got worse.Recently, a friend gave me this product - Dermeleve, saying that it would help with the itchiness and it was made without steroids, which causes skin thinning. I have a sensitive skin, so I'm very skeptical about trying new skincare/topical treatment products. But I was concerned about the steroid side effect that was mentioned. After doing some research, I looked at the area on my leg only to confirm that it did look thinner. At that point, I decided to give Dermeleve a try. Firstly, I saturated a cotton pad with sterile saline solution and placed it on the affected area until it dried. It disinfected and softened the skin for a better absorption (I started this experiment not long ago, when I was still using the steroid cream). Then I applied Dermeleve, twice a day.Amazingly, after a few days, not only the itchiness went away, but the skin also started to heal. 10 days into the treatment, I could see a significant improvement. The underneath liquid spots appeared to be lighter in color, most cracks were gone and only dry spots remained, which showed the process was on the right track. I then skipped the saline solution and only used the cream, still twice daily.It's definitely not a cheap product, in term of both price and quality. But since I use it for spot treatment (2.5" x 1.5" treating surface), it's still cost effective to me and a little does go a long way. The cream itself has a thin consistency, it glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy/sticky feeling. Someone mentioned about the unpleasant smell, I think the smell is very subtle, I really don't notice anything.At the time I write this review, it's been over 2 months since I first used it. The skin surface is completely healed and the liquid underneath it was gone. I'm very happy with the result. I also love that it's an OTC product, meaning it can be conveniently purchased whenever I'm in need. I still eat certain foods that could trigger the rashes, just less frequently and in a small amount because I enjoy them. For that, it's good to have the Dermeleve cream on hand. I hope this product can eventually get rid of this stubborn spot one day. But even if it doesn't, at least it can keep the area at bay and it is safe to use.

This is an excellent cream and stops itching and helps with dry skinSecond time I have ordered this cream. It helps my sensitive skin and keeps it from burning and itching.

‘Product works.

I have had hives for 3-4 months now. This is the only product with the exception of prescription steroid creme that actually reduces the itching. My husband has used it on a few itchy bug bites and says it relieved the itch immediately. Wonderful product!

It’s ok but don’t expect miracles. Reduces the itch for a few minutes, then again so does benedryl cream. I personally have had limited success with topical creams, steroid or otherwise. Maybe you will luck out.

This has really helped with the itch from a rash. Well worth the money.

I picked up Dermeleve Steroid-Free Anti-Itch Cream during a desperate late-night scroll through remedies for my relentless eczema flare-up. I’d already cycled through the usual suspects—hydrocortisone, antihistamines, oatmeal baths—and my skin was still staging a rebellion. What caught my eye was the promise of fast relief without steroids, which felt like a unicorn in the world of itch creams. Spoiler: it delivered.The texture is silky and absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue or chalky film. I applied it to my forearms, which had been red, inflamed, and itchy enough to wake me up at night. Within minutes—literally minutes—the itching subsided. Not dulled. Not “slightly better.” Gone. It was like flipping a switch. I’ve since used it on hives, bug bites, and even a mysterious rash that I suspect came from a rogue plant encounter. Every time, it’s the same story: rapid relief, no irritation, no drama.What makes Dermeleve stand out is its versatility. It’s safe for sensitive areas and thinning skin, which means I’ve used it on my neck and even around my eyes without any burning or stinging. The formula is steroid-free, which is a huge win for long-term use—no rebound flares, no skin thinning, just consistent comfort. And the scent? Subtle, clean, and non-medicinal. It doesn’t announce itself like some over-the-counter creams that smell like a pharmacy aisle.I’ve recommended it to friends with psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and even post-shingles itch. One friend with brachioradial pruritus said it was the first thing that gave her peace in years.

This gel works quite well for itching skin. My dermatologist recommended this & it does work. No steroids either!
