Nothing compares. I actually bought this cream from another store, but I had to leave a review here because I always rely on (real non-sponsored) reviews when deciding what to buy from target. I’ve struggled with eczema, severely dry and itchy skin, and crusty elbows for years. I tried everything - EOS, Vaseline, Jergens, CeraVe, Cetaphil, Aveeno baby oatmeal jelly, Hempz, Gold Bond, Olay, Dr Teal tangerine lover · Target
