My husb also has and used every cream out there. The only ones that really help r the ones with cortisone so even if its supposedly natural it prob has cortisone in it.like the clear cream that was taken off shelves two yrs ago. Was like miracle magic til it was exposed as cortisone... Beware that cortisone is extremely addictive! When the body gets then it breaks out for more its a vicious cycle. When u stop cortisone it will break out bad at first to crave more and then will clear up a lot. So if u can hold off that initial breakout that's worth it. Best is to drink tons of water and plain moisturizer.
