This was excellent! I was just prescribed a steriod cream for contact dermatitis around my eyes.. I am definitely not using it now. I wish Dr brain had given more info on the testosterone eye cream. All great info!

[@onnicaestelle324]

Hi. I appreciate this so very much!
I was given a prescription for a steroid to use around both eyes. It's called Desonide Cream. I decided to look at reviews. My only regret is not researching first! I wasted my Co-pay! 10 bucks.
Well, I would rather have the age spots around my eyes then risk glucoma and cataracts. No Brainer! I will use products that are steroid free and hope for good lasting results.😅
Thx to both of you!
