What the gurus are saying

Topical diphenhydramine doesn't do much for skin, and both experts who reviewed this cream reached that same conclusion. They found it ineffective and agreed it's not worth spending your money on. The only real difference between them was how bluntly they expressed that view, but the verdict here is crystal clear: this cream isn't a recommendation for anyone's skincare routine.
