Eczema - near miracle with E45 Endless Moisture

I just have to share this because for years I would trawl the internet in search of a solution for my daughters eczema. We tried buffalo milk, rice milk, soya milk, every cream and potion under the sun and nothing worked. Steroid cream was effective for a matter of one or two weeks then we were back to square one.

Normal E45 was completely ineffective on my daughter. One day I just happened to be in Sainsbury's when there was an offer on this stuff (e45 Endless moisture Bidy Milk and Moisturising cream) so I bought it. My DD's hands at the time were bleeding and split. I put on some of this stuff and persisted for a couple of days. Withing 3 days her hands were nearly clear. Her skin is smoother and more comfortable and nearly clear.

If you are the mum of a child with eczema you will know, like me that what works for one person with have nil effect for many others but after the effect it has had I thought it worth mentioning.

oops! haha. I CAN NOT type first thing in the morning. I once handed a photography assignment in and when writing 'shutter speed' I had inadvertently replaced the 'U' with an 'I'. Oops.

There is a new brand out there, but I know it is very hard to get. You will have to do some google searches. Its called GAIA Skin Naturals. A mother who had a child with eczema and could not find a product that worked, so she came up with her own.
