To be honest I was skeptical and did not believe the claims. I decided to buy coz I would return if it dint work for me. my dog Max is a mixed breed(part lab part shepherd) and has had excessive itching that has bothered him since he was a puppy. I thought it was the food and I switched brands and even tried cooking for him. He has had hotspots forever and itches all over. We had oatmeal baths and shampoo with oatmeal and all the calming stuff and NOTHING WORKED. I was trying a new shampoo when I saw this in Garden state mall when they had a stall. Seller told me they would take it back if it didn't work I bought the bottle and thought It was a little pricey but i wanted to try since I saw the dryness of my hand disappear immediately! Istarted using it the very day and It WORKED!I put a enough oil to coat Max And put the rest in the shampoo. His itch is gone and I am a returning customer and have started using it on me. I noticed my hands got softer and the eczema in between my fingers started going away. I buy for both of us now. This works better than my hand lotion and its not greasy at all. I use it after wash or with the soap and I'm good to go.smells okay like lavender but I like the dark prince scent best
