First Aid Cream, 3 Ounce

Working in a kitchen washing my hands constantly with terrible soap especially during winter always dries my hands out bad! Rex Eme is the first lotion I have found that really helps to rehydrate my skin. It has a thicker texture than normal lotions. It is a medicated lotion so it does have a smell to it. It reminds me of a bilstex/carmex menthol type of smell. With this product a little dab will do you, so it ends up lasting a long time.

A beautician told me about this gem of a first aid cream almost 20 years ago. Have a small cut, burn, rash, insect bite? I've used it sparingly on the last of an annoying breakout. Smooth some on on tonight and notice that the burning and swelling disappears or is almost gone when you wake up tomorrow. The cream is touted as a first aid cream so I've never really viewed it as a quality hand cream although it might spread it's magical powers if mixed with the other magic potion - coconut oil. The smell, yes, it's there but it goes away quickly and I consider it part of the mystery. Showed it to my brother and sister in law pharmacists and they were uncertain as to why it works so well but find it helpful for fishing hook and berry picking scrapes, etc. Seriously, I would use it over Neosporin or other medical creams. My only problem is keeping enough on hand as family members borrow it. I have found it in a few salons and beauty supply stores, so Amazon is the easiest way to purchase.

This stuff is fantastic. I had some very dry skin and had red spots from scratching. There was a big improvement overnight and my skin began healing by the next morning. Did not help as much with the itchy sensation so I still used some hydrocortisone cream followed by this. My skin is much more soft and the itching has almost gone away completely. I had been using hydrocortisone prior for itching but before I tried this it never stated to subside. Now I'm using this without the itch cream because the itch feeling is has subsided greatly. Highly recommended.

I love this cream. Have used it for years. Smooths my skin and feels so healing. It heals breakouts of various kinds. I tend to have various "allergic dermatitis" problems, and it is great for the itching and redness. If I have to use some type of steroid cream, I can use the two together. I am 63 years old and live in the humid, high pollen south.

This stuff seems to help with chapped cracked hands, but is not a miracle cure. I'd recommend it. Update: I liked it so well I bought another one!

This lotion is the best I've ever used for my dry itchy skin! I bought the purse size so I've always got some on hand for my now dry itchy hands! It's medicated --- it seeps into the skin and leaves no greasy feeling. It does have a menthol smell (thus the medicated part) --- but that too subsides in time. There's nothing better out there. Trust me.

The tube of Rex Eme Cream I received was so dried up, I could barely squeeze anything out of it. The tiny amount that emerged did nothing for my skin. Perhaps it is too old. There is no expiration date on the product. I am more than disappointed with this product.

Smell is too strong. Was looking for something less smelly with more first aid cream. Doesn’t work as well as I like.
