Title: Hydrating
Review: After trying numerous creams and moisturisers for weeks including prescription hydrocortisone cream which made matters worse, in desperation I randomly tried this on my forehead which was dry, with a rash, red and blotchy. Glad I took a chance, it has improved so much in a week! Will continue using. Very pleased.

Title: TSW
Review: I am now into my second week of being steroid free on my TSW journey, and I’ve been using this balm on my entire body (twice, daily – including face and scalp) for the past 4 days (30ml jar). – Just purchased the big 120ml jar!The balm helps to lock in moisture to my skin – which gives me relief, and helps me to move around with more ease – as I am shedding heck loads of skin, and my skin is hard, dry and tight. I was hesitant at first, but it’s perfectly fine to use on face. Also, I have long hair, but the texture of the balm is so soft and smooth – it’s actually quite easy to apply on my entire scalp full of thick long hair – and has reduced flakiness and itchiness.I tried another zinc based product before this, but it wasn’t fragrance free – which caused me to be rather irritable.Yes, the balm leaves a white cast on the skin – but that’s to be expected with effective zinc products. Not a problem, if you’re staying indoors. However, I won’t be applying this to my face and hands whilst outdoors.Yet to try its protective barrier for effectiveness in the bath/shower.All in all, I’m happy I’ve found at least one product to help me as I go through these horrific withdrawals – as my condition is quite severe, and this product right here has helped so much in just 4 days!

Title: This product does exactly what it promises
Review: After finally finding a way to clear my adult cystic acne of twenty years and beginning to enjoy my now clear, blemish free skin again, you can only imagine my dispair when I developed peri-oral dermatitis. The prospect of trying to find a product that firstly promises to clear your new skin problem without triggering the old one, had me in tears (literally drippy tears with nose-blowing sobs).It was the previous reviews, given by fellow peri-oral sufferers that gave me the confidence to buy and try this product…..and I’d just like to thank each of them for taking the time to write about their experiences and how this product worked for them. Which is why I’m paying the favour forward and writing this for any future reader looking for helpful feedback.If you are reading this and feeling low or frustrated because nothing you’ve bought or prescribed has worked, purchase this little pot.Ordered on Sunday and delivered Monday morning, within 2 hours of applying a very thin covering on the effected area, all the anger, irritation and redness was noticeably reduced. 24 hours later all blistering with little pin-head areas of puss had stopped developing and over the next 48 hours the dermatitis completely subsided. Today is Thursday and this afternoon there’s just a few dry superficial areas of flaky skin, with only a slight darker colouration to show where there had once been angry lesions.That’s 4 days!……..and had anyone promised me it would work that fast I would not have believed them.I applied a very thin covering, only on the infected areas and used repeat applications 4 times a day. If you’re finding it greasy, you’re using too much. There’s virtually no perfume and where my acne had been (which was practically everywhere on my face) I suffered no reaction at all.For me, this worked and is working. I can’t promise you the same results, because we’re all different and react to products in different ways. However I would encourage you to try it. Personally, I will always have a pot to hand in case I suffer another break-out of any description.

Title: Started well, but soon stopped working
Review: I bought this product on the back of lots of positive reviews, which these days is quite risky, but it has turned out to be the right move.I have a couple of patches of (what i self-diagnosed as) Seb Derm on my cheeks, either side of my nose. As with these sorts of conditions, you spend ages on the internet looking for various solutions to the problem and end up going round in circles.At first i had been washing my face with a dead sea salt / water solution but it’s relatively expensive, messy and doesn’t work 100%. It never really brought a balanced feeling to my face, and while it cleared up 80%+ of the problem, there was still some redness and soreness. Eventually it seemed to slowly stop working.Next I tried head & shoulders shampoo – each day i would rub a pea-sized amount into the affected areas, let it sit for 2 minutes then wash it off. This worked very well for about 18 months, and one bottle would last a year, so a cheap solution. However that shampoo is full of loads of things that aren’t really meant for the sensitive skin of your face, and eventually it stopped working so i stopped using it. I think the only good thing in the shampoo for seb derm is the zinc oxide, so that set me on a path to find a new product with zinc oxide, which is what takes me to this Zinc & Calendula cream.I simply followed the instructions that other reviewers left – i.e. wash your face, and a bit later add some of this Zinc & Calendula cream to the affected area, using as little as possible. Because there’s so much zinc oxide you really don’t need to use much – it’s quite thick/dense. I’ve been trying to use as little as possible and only once a day. So shower in the evenings, wait a bit, then apply. I found there was fairly instant relief from the soreness sensation, and as each day passed the visual redness gradually disappeared. I probably looked a bit horrendous for the first couple of days where the skin was healing; i had a mixture of flaky, peeling skin and the cream mixed together, but i always got the feeling it was working so i’d have to just live with it for a short period.I’m now 7 days in and my face is 100% back to normal in terms of visual appearance and feeling. Of course the ultimate test would be to stop using this for a week and see if the condition returns, as anytime i stopped using the shampoo, i would have red sore skin within 2 days. So i won’t claim this has permanently fixed my face, as i don’t know for sure, but it feels so much better than both of the previous solutions.Seb derm is an excess of oil production and the zinc oxide helps deal with that, perhaps the other elements of this cream will help my face naturally fix itself from within so i can stop using it, but even if that doesn’t happen, you need to use so little of this product that it’ll last an age.As for what triggered the condition – i don’t really know 100% either, but i would definitely advise against using any kind of alcohol based products on your face. For me it was suncreams like P20 and Ultrasun – as effective as they are, alcohol is too strong and drying for my sensitive face. I think the dryness triggers the oil production and that’s where the condition begins. There are suncreams out there with zinc oxide as the base (i use ThinkSport), again they’re quite thick but you just have to rub them in.My personal view is that once the skin is disrupted and damaged, it won’t fix itself without some kind of intervention like this cream, but where as the dead sea salt and shampoo solutions treated the symptoms, i’m hoping by using the cream for long enough it will fix the root cause. I do not think that diet is related either, i’ve tried dairy-free / gluten-free / low sugar etc for sizable periods and it didn’t help – it actually made me more stressed from cutting foods out. I exercise frequently and eat well, and while that helps with many things, seb derm seems too specific an issue for that alone to help resolve it.Update Nov 2019It seems to have stopped working.I’m back on the head and shoulders routine and balancing the dryness that brings with a light moisturiser. There’s a website called simpleskincarescience that has a wealth of information on this skin condition.
