I buy mine at Target and get the store brand, since it's much cheaper for the same as the regular stuff. Just make sure you read the label and buy 2% and not 1%. 1% doesn't actually do anything to help the itching or dry skin.<br><b>References : </b><br> Hydrocortizone 2% gets rid of the dry skin and the itch, and it’s not harsh at all.
