Being Chinese, TCM was used by my family throughout my childhood. So I was excited to discover Dermatology M, as I know how effective TCM is. I have small patches of eczema on the back of my hands and also on my arms and legs. When I applied the cream to the back of my hands, it instantly cooled and soothed my eczema. The eczema has improved but being on my hands, the cream washes off throughout the day. However, the small patch of eczema on my leg has almost completely healed after one week of using the cream only once a day. Impressive! I do remember the odd smells from TCM medicine from my childhood. I'm not keen on the smell of the cream but it is hardly noticeable once it dries. I have already purchased the nourishing cream and the tincture for rosacea!
