Both of my children have suffered from eczema since an early age and we have been to see various skin specialist nurses and doctors. Each time, they offer to change to different drugs and none the creams have worked for them. I have constantly been on the lookout for alternatives solutions, including changing my washing powder.

The lovely people have sent me these products to try on my children:

- – Body Cream
- – Eczema Treatment Soap
- – Laundry Powder
- – Stain remover
Baby & Infant Cream
The white cream is very light and absorbed into the skin very easily. After applying on my children, it does not leave the skin or hand feeling sticky like how some creams can. It feels like you’ve just come out of the shower or had your hands washed. Ms C has used it for over 2 weeks and it keeps her skin smooth. I did not use it on her face.
Body Cream
The cream is slightly yellow and smooth. Again it absorbed into the skin quickly and left the skin feeling soft. Mr K has been using it for over two weeks and it has kept his body from going too dry. It should be applied at least twice a day. His body does feel a lot smoother but he still has the existing red and sore eczema. I did not use the cream on his face.
Eczema Treatment Soap
I have not tried using soap to wash my children before and I found it difficult to grip the soap as it is quite slippery. After using it, it left their skin with a layer of protection and their skin immediately felt smooth.
This soap can also be used on the scalp, but I have not tried this.
Laundry Powder
The laundry powder feels like snow flakes. It is very light and soft to touch. It is a specially formulated laundry powder to remove dead and scaly skin. It comes in a clear bag so I had it in store it in a zip lock bag. Scoop is provided. After washing, it left the clothing clean and there was no discernible fragrance. Having washing powder with fragrance additives can’t be good for the skin. So big thumbs up to this laundry powder for not containing such additives.
Stain remover
It is like a bar of soap and applied by rubbing onto the stain to remove the stain. It is very simple to wet and rub it into the stain. I would suggest having a small container to store it otherwise it will be quite messy after some time.
