We use this product on our toddler son to deal with his moderate to severe eczema, and it helps. It does not make the eczema go away completely, but we are getting close to having tried almost every available product, and we have found that a combination of Neosporin Eczema Essentials Daily Moisturizing Cream and CJ's Butter on top of that has been one of the most effective solutions so far.
We turn to medium-strength (class 4) prescription steroids when flare ups become severe and we feel we can't avoid it -when the eczema becomes a significant discomfort for our son. Before our current combination of moisturizers, we had to turn to steroids about every other week for up to seven days at a time to keep his eczema under control and stop his suffering. Now, we turn to steroids only about once a month, for about four days. This is a MAJOR improvement, although we are still hoping to find a silver bullet that will really resolve the problem at the root.
Our results were better with CJ's Butter Plus than with the regular unscented CJ's featured here. CJ's Butter Plus contains neem oil, which has an unpleasant smell. We got used to the smell, but after reading toxicity information on neem oil, which we felt raised real concerns regarding pediatric use, we have discontinued using that product. A shame, but with only a layman's level of understanding of neem oil toxicity we weren't willing to take this risk anymore. Not to mention we also discovered that neem oil contains natural steroids as well, the effects of which we don't have the expertise to judge.
Finally, note that you will probably be much happier with the 12 oz tub than the 4 oz tube. The tube is made of hard plastic and it is VERY DIFFICULT to get the last of the product out. We had to slice our tube in half at the end and scoop it out that way. The tube is a really terrible design and we won't go that way again.
UPDATE 8/18/2012: We still use CJ's on occasion, especially as our son has started getting more traditional diaper rashes lately. However, we are using much less than previously. We are having great success with Earth Mama Angel Baby Oil. We use this on our boy right after a five-minute bath in lukewarm water every day. Oil straight on the skin without drying him off. Then after the oil, we use the Neosporin Daily Moisturing Cream mentioned above. We haven't had to use steroids for a few months now with this combination. Still like CJ's, but we are now lower-volume customers.

I love our CJ's butter!! It has worked amazingly on my daughter's bum and is cloth diaper friendly. I also use it on my son's eczema and my dry hands and it is so wonderful! Definitely buy, buy, buy again! You will not be disappointed.This is the best. It really does do everything from my daughter's bottom to my son's eczema to my husband's rosacea. It helped after an abdominal surgery I had and really helped the scarring. It is so versatile for any skin care issue. And it smells AMAZING! My daughter went to day care one say and I had some of the Blueberry Crumble in her bag. When I got her they were all raving about it and so excited because it doesn't smell gross like the "other" diaper creams.It really isn't just for diaper cream.This cream really does work. We use it on our twins that are in cloth and it really helped heal up a rash we were dealing with, and we had an issue with some build up from the last cream in our diapers, and this didn't do that at all. I love the smell, but the texture is a little different than anything I am used to, its grainy and then starts to melt as you put it on, so if you are used to thick creams like desitin, this will feel nothing like that on your fingers. Don't let that turn you off from using it, though, it's a great product and I will be buying again!Goes on great and it cleared up a rash for us in a day! Only thing we had a little bit of an issue with was the ingredients sometimes separate when it is cold but we just popped it in the microwave for a few seconds, shook it up, and it was fine!
