O'Keefe's Working Hands Creme

O'Keefe's Working Hands Creme is a very gentle, hand repair creme.  It is a Water and Glycerin based creme which is meant to hydrate your skin.  Glycerin will pull and hold in moisture in the different layers of your skin.  It is important to keep your skin moisturized because the hydrated cells are the cells that are capable of replacing themselves.  One other important ingredient of this hand creme is Allantoin, which is a skin protectant.  The purpose of Allantoin is to remove dead skin cells to allow greater penetration of the moisturizing ingredients.  

O'Keefe's Hand Creme is for dry and cracked hands.  This product is not made specifically for eczema.  However, if you have eczema on your hands, you should consider this product.  I applied O'keefe's Creme all the way around my wrists, hands, on the back of my knees, and the creases of my elbows.  

• The smell is very subtle.  
• It is fragrance free, which is a major plus!
• Somewhat feels sticky after a while, but not so extreme.  The O'Keefe's Working Hands Lotion felt a lot lighter. 
• When you first open the jar, the creme seems hard, but once you dip your finger and work it in, it feels very smooth and cool.  This is by far one my favorite feeling products when applying.  

O'Keefe's Working Hands Creme Can Help Your Eczema

As soon as you apply it to your affected areas, it feels cool, but it does sting.  The sting is very minor and not bad if you can just ignore it.  I applied it when I was going to sleep and after showers.  It did not do anything for the back of my knees.  It did however, begin healing my wrists, and faintly worked for the creases of my elbows.  My case of eczema is very severe, so it did not fully take away my eczema.  But there are plenty of you out there who have less severe cases, that I truly believe it would work for you.  It may even work for those who have psoriasis on their wrists and hands.  I would recommend trying O'Keefe's.  My overall satisfaction with this product would be 4 out of 5 stars =)

Don't hesitate to give O'Keefe's Working Hand Creme a try!  Also, don't forget to look for the O'Keefe's Working Hands Lotion post!

Eczema No More

I found Eczema No More a couple years ago on the internet.  I have been wanting to try it ever since, but didn't want to waste my money on such a small bottle. I finally got up the nerve to do so and sadly, my instinct was right. 

Eczema No More's Bottle Is SMALL And Hard To Use

This product came in a small 11 ml bottle.  I was shocked when I saw it for the first time.  I was aware of the size, but for some reason it didn't hit me until I opened the package. My first words were, "I spent 23 dollars for this?!  It better be something amazing."  .  

Okay, so I got over the fact that it was so small.  I tried to open it and test some out on my wrists.  I have had the bottle for 7 days now and I still can't figure out how to get a good amount to come out.  The saying, "A little goes a long way" is suppose to apply to this product.  So I know you are only suppose to have a couple drops for a large area, but I had trouble even getting one drop to come out.   And when I finally got a couple drops, I felt like it wasn't enough.  A little didn't really go so far.  Two or three drops hardly covered the top of my wrist.  

Shipping Of Eczema No More Was Fast

Let me start being nice: The people who shipped it, got it to me only 2 days after I purchased it  OH! and I loved the smell.  I showed it to other people around me and some liked it and some didn't. So I guess it depends on what kind of person you are and what smells you like to give the smell any rating. 

Eczema No More Did Work.. to an extent

I can't say Eczema No More didn't totally work.  There was a spot on the crease of my elbow that had been scratched the night before and I had open wounds.  I got as many drops out as I could and put it on my spot and let it stay on overnight.  The next morning I looked at it and I could see the difference.  It had already started closing up my sores and I could see how they would be completely gone within a day or so.  

Just because it worked for a little spot, does not mean I am going to continue investing in this product.  Part of me feels as if a whole bunch of oils were mixed together and they slapped a catchy eczema phrase on a ity bitty bottle to try to sell.  However, I can't say that is true.  Even if it is not, I feel that the amount you get each purchase is not worth the price. 

I Do Not Recommend Eczema No More

I am going to provide the link and let you figure out for yourselves if this is something you may want to try.  I don't want to make an all high and mighty "You should try this" post for a product that is so ify. 

Honestly, if your question now is, "Should I purchase this product?" My answer is no. Your money has the potential for better use.

Remember, if you do decide to try this, send me an email or leave a comment and talk about how you feel. This is all about helping others who are in your shoes and leading them onto the right path.

Thanks and good luck!

Neosporin Will Help Heal Your Eczema Scratches

I have been a big fan of Neosporin, the ointment, along with the lip care, for many years now.  When I have a breakout, especially after a night of sleeping, and I wake up to large scratch marks and cuts, I put this ointment on the spots I feel need it most, and let Neosporin do it's job.

It's best to put this on when before you go to sleep or after you take a shower. Neosporin shows improvements fast. I find that the best time for me to put it on is before I go to bed. That way, you aren't moving around so much and time goes by faster, allowing you to see the improvements even faster. 

I do want to say that Neosporin will not heal your eczema or stop your itching--It's only there to help heal your cuts and wounds.  Nothing is more painful than to wake up with freshly scratched skin and have to take a shower and feel the pain of the water hitting your skin.  You want your scratches and open sores to go away, which is what this product helps do.  

Neosporin's Ingredients Will Kill Bacteria On Your Eczema

Neosporin is a mixture of three different antibiotics (Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B)  that help kill bacteria on your skin.  

The instructions include: 

1) Not applying it to large areas or your skin / All over your body
- Which is understandable and common sense
- You really only need to apply the ointment to certain spots of open cuts and sores
- It is not a moisturizer

2) You should not place Neosporin on deep sores, wounds, cuts, etc. 
-  I just wanted to have this bit of information out, so people are aware that they shouldn't put it on deep areas.
- Only you can decide whether your cut is too deep or not, but I have never had this problem. I just apply the ointment and let it do it's job. 

I hope now, you have a new idea to try that was never there before.  Neosporin is fairly cheap and definitely worth the time.

 

 

 

 

Neosporin Eczema Essentials

Neosporin finally came out with an eczema friendly Neosporin ointment. I bought it for about 12 dollars from Wal-mart strictly because I have always been in love with Neosporin as a way to heal up my open wounds. 

Eczema Essentials Vs. Regular Neosporin

The regular Neosporin ointment is not made for eczema, however, Neosporin Eczema Essentials is made strictly for eczema sufferers. Unlike the regular ointment, this one can be used as a daily moisturizing cream AND it is filled with collodial oatmeal as a skin protectant. Collodial oatmeal is the one active ingredient in this new cream. As long as I have had eczema and have been doing research on ways to help it, collodial oatmeal always surfaces as an ingredient to help the skin, so it is great that this product puts it to use.

I purchased Neosporin Eczema Essentials with the goal of clearing up the open wounds on my hands. I usually don't break out on my hands, but lately, my hands seem to be getting hit pretty bad. I used it for two nights and even with my still picking at them, my hands were already clearing up. 

I view this eczema cream as just a safer version of the regular Neosporin. Although it states that it is a daily moisturizing cream, I would not use it to moisturize my body. I would strictly use it on areas that I would like to clear up.

Other Benefits of Neosporin Eczema Essentials

The top two benefits from this eczema ointment is that.. *drum roll please* .. 

1. Neosporin Eczema Essentials is Fragrance Free
2. Neosporin Eczema Essentials is Steroid-Free

This is a safe to try lotion for anyone with eczema. I believe it is the fourth, but I may be wrong, it is the fourth lotion that I am aware of that is approved by the National Eczema Association. After using it on different areas, I never once had an allergic reaction.

The box claims that this new eczema cream is clinically proven to;

1. Restore healthy skin in just 3 days
2. Relieve dry and itchy skin on contact

Feedback Please?

Because this is so new, if you or anyone you know has tried it, please leave a comment below regarding how you feel about the new cream or what results, if any, you received from trying it.

Repcillin: Crocodile Skin Treatment 

I am keeping Repcillin at the top of my list for eczema skin creams and lotions because it is still undiscovered by many and those who have discovered it want to know if this product honestly works. I, myself failed to find any negativity before purchasing, therefore, I had no choice but to try it for myself.

The Sellers at African Cures Claim:

While researching the product, I've heard that Repcillin is taking the place for a lot of steroid creams.

This product is different from many others because it is not a cream or lotion–it's a naturally made, vaseline-like product. 

Repcillin is not a vaseline (You can refer to the comment below.) It is 100% natural based.

It contains crocodile oil and other "filler ingredients" from beeswax and sunflower oil–and that's it.

The origin of Repcillin comes from crocodiles and it mimics how fast and well their antibodies heal open wounds, bumps, rashes, and just about anything dealing with the skin. Hence, "Crocodile Skin Treatment.

It will supposedly heal your eczema and make it as if you no longer had it.

With all the positives out there on the internet, I decided to try it.

Repcillin Did Not Work For Me

I bought this item just as fast as I found it online.  It has some of the best ratings for eczema and I was eager to find if it healed me or not. Come to find, 65 dollars later, the product DID NOTHING for me and my skin.  

I like to say that every individual is different and what may not work for me has a better chance for working or helping someone else. This may be true, but in this case, I don't think it is worth it to find out.

Do Not Waste Your Money

Of all the things out there, I would not recommend trying this product. The company seems really fishy, there are no returns, and personally, it doesn't feel like it is worth it. You are better off trying something different. You deserve a better quality product. 

I No Longer Reccommend Repcillin

There was a point I thought maybe the product would be worth the effort, however, I withdraw from saying others should try Repcillin for themselves–Do the exact opposite and SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I receive emails from other eczema sufferers on a daily basis that decided to try Repcillin as well and their remarks towards the product are not nice. This is why feedback is so important and I do ask that you leave it for other fellow eczema sufferers to benefit from. I do listen to those who reach out to me and I take in what everyone says to give a beneficial review for all of you. 

I have stated how I feel about Repcillin. If you would like to visit the website for African Cures, you can do so by clicking here. 

Eucerin Calming Creme Reduces Redness By Half

The only downfall of this cream is that it STINGS.  When I apply the lotion onto my body, I have to do it by parts.  The sting is too much for me to handle at once.  However, it does actually do what it says it does. The bottle reads "Dry Skin Therapy, Clinically proven effective for dry, itchy skin."  This type of Eucerin is a calming cream, as it says on the bottle.  If you apply this lotion onto your skin, looking past the sting, it reduces redness by half. (As long as you aren't scratching it.)  It is thick and is definitely a great moisturizer and is fragrance free–which is very important when you are looking for eczema skin creams and lotions to apply to your skin.

Eucerin Calming Creme Improves Skin Appearance

Place this cream all over your body, even the spots without eczema, as much as you can.  After you shower, put it on.  Before you go to bed, put it on.  When you wake up, put it on.  What I don't like about most creams is that I feel sticky afterwards.  This lotion is not and does not make you feel sticky.  It makes my skin feel as normal as it can get, and at times, when I wasn't flaring, it has even helped me clear up my skin.  It definitely improves the appearance skin.

The price is fairly cheap. The eucerin calming creme takes up a lot of my money, because I am constantly using it and having to buy more.  Of all the eczema skin creams and lotions, this is the one you should try if you haven't already.  

Buy Eucerin Calming Creme And Save

If you are consistent with a specific lotion for your eczema, you save money by buying in larger amounts.  For example, let's say one bottle of Eucerin is $10. You may find a deal of two Eucerin Calming Creme bottles for $17.  Technically, that means you buy one bottle and save $3 on the second bottle. Now, you may think $3? That's not a lot. However, if you saved 3 dollars each time you buy your lotion, (3+3+3+3) equals enough to buy a whole new bottle.  

Sometimes you can subscribe to certain places and save even more money and have a constant flow of your favorite or most consistent eczema skin cream or lotion. 

Blue Emu is by far one of my most favorite creams I have ever found–and it was totally by accident.

Blue Emu helps to satisfy your Eczema

I came across this cream randomly one day and instantly fell in love with it.  Having eczema makes it so your skin puts out extra heat than the normal body does.  Because blue emu is aloe vera based, it is cold.  And there is nothing better, especially in the summer, than having that cold feeling on your skin.  When someone with eczema gets hot and starts to sweat, their skin reacts and starts flaring up into this unbearable red itch. Because it is a pain reliever cream, it also contributes to taking away the outside pain of my skin.

Blue emu has all the omega fatty acids in it as well, that are very important to an eczema sufferer.  There are pills that I take specifically for these acids that I will talk about in another section.  The fatty acids are similar to human fatty acids that skin conditions such as eczema need as well as improve the natural body. 

Blue Emu is Fragrance Free

This cream is also fragrance free and is anti-inflammatory as well. Blue emu is however expensive, in my opinion.  For a 4 oz. jar, I spend $20 and it goes away really fast because I constantly use it.  I go through so much of this cream that for my last birthday, my best friend bought me 5 jars of it.  I think that blue emu is worth buying, especially during the hotter seasons.  It relieves a lot of pain and hotness and is overall a very good cream.

Blue Emu is not made for Eczema

Blue Emu is NOT an eczema skin cream,  lotion, or moisturizer.  Blue Emu, however, is a "deep penetrating, soothing formula" as it says on the jar.  It is meant to be a muscle pain reliever.  For example, after someone exercises and their muscles hurt, they are suppose to put Blue Emu on the muscle area that hurts and it takes the pain away.  Hence, blue emu is not meant to be a eczema skin cream.
