I haven’t reviewed any prescription-only creams for eczema yet, as doctors would usually advise when and how to use them safely. I thought that I would give my 2 cents on Elidel however. Elidel is a newish type of topical treatment for eczema and is prescribed for use only on the face. This is because unlike your typical hydrocortisone creams it will not damage the skin by thinning it or causing changes in pigmentation, which is more of a concern for the already thin skin on the face. It is part of the class of ‘immuno-modulating’ creams in that it suppresses the immune response responsible for eczema. As such, it has the potential to change the immune system which is …

Although I like to review products specifically designed to be improve sensitive skin sometimes I like to review regular products that are just compatible with sensitive skin. I think most of clinique’s make-ups would fit into this category as I’ve tried a few now and none have caused me any irritation, I have had a few clogged pores but that was a long time ago and not this particular foundation. The foundation is in liquid form and goes on very smoothly leaving a glossy sheen on your face. this can be buffed into a matt finish with a make up brush or even the tip of a finger. I would apply with your fingers first, rather than use a foundation …

I tend to avoid using many hair products because as a rule hairsprays and gels are not formulated for sensitive skin as commonly as products you actually put on the skin, which makes sense. There have been only a very small few I’ve used over the years where it doesn’t matter if your hair comes in contact with your face with the hair product in it. One of these is Klorane’s dry shampoo. I should note Klorane’s claims to being hypoallergenic have been true in my case, I’ve never had a problem with any of their shampoos, conditioners or leave in balms. This product is a must have when you have oily hair in need of a wash but can’t …

Aside from sounding like a science fiction novel, this is one pretty good product if you have a damaged hydro-lipid barrier on your face. This might apply if your skin is overly dry to the point of being raw, or if you have an eczema flare-up of some sort. It does very little for the itch initially, but by providing a thick barrier it prevents subsequent itch from dust particles or other things floating in the air that come into contact with the skin. So within 10 minutes skin should feel more comforted from that protection. It is a smooth and relatively light cream for what it is. It does provide a physical barrier on the skin, so it is …

The name of this moisturizer is a bit of a mouth full, and I’m not really sure that it applies, well at least for me. I have given this a go and gone through two sample bottles which I think would be enough to notice a difference in my skin condition, especially if the moisturizer is claiming ‘dramatic’ difference but I didn’t notice any. Don’t get me wrong, this is a nice moisturizer. It would work well for combination skin types (AKA normal skin) as it has nice oil control around the t-zone as well as being moisturizing enough for dryer areas on the face. It doesn’t have a strong smell which is nice, but unfortunately doesn’t come with …
