FAQs
Q1. What makes this different from a standard dry skin moisturizer?
A1. The key differentiator is active itch relief alongside hydration. The formula contains an enoxolone derivative specifically to address the urge to scratch — the itch-scratch cycle that is one of the most distressing aspects of eczema and inflamed dry skin. This is supported by Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (an anti-inflammatory compound from licorice root), Polyquaternium-51 (a biomimetic lipid that replicates the skin's own moisturising factors), and the Skin Barrier Therapy™ complex, making it a therapeutic moisturizer rather than a simple hydrating cream.
Q2. What skin conditions is it most suited for?
A2. It's designed for dry to extremely dry and eczema-prone skin — skin that itches, feels reactive, and flares with seasonal changes, stress, or environmental triggers. The formula has been clinically tested on atopic dermatitis-prone skin and is fragrance-free. It works both as a daily maintenance moisturizer and as intensive care during flare periods.
Q3. Should it be applied to damp skin?
A3. Yes — applying on slightly damp skin (just patted dry after bathing, not fully dry) allows the hydro-absorbent technology to work most effectively, locking in the residual water. This is the single most effective application technique for maximising moisture retention with any therapeutic moisturizer.
Q4. Can it be used alongside prescription eczema treatments like topical corticosteroids?
A4. Yes — it's a complementary product to prescribed treatments, not a replacement. During active flares, apply corticosteroids as directed on affected areas, then apply this Gel Crème as the final moisturizer layer over treated areas and the surrounding skin. Between flares, consistent daily use helps maintain the barrier and may reduce flare frequency.
Q5. Is it suitable for children with eczema?
A5. Yes — the fragrance-free, parabens-free, dermatologically tested formula is appropriate for children's skin. It can be applied 2–3 times daily during flare periods and twice daily for ongoing maintenance. For babies under 3, confirm with a paediatrician before routine full-body use.
