Balneum has asked us to find 250 MNers to try their Balneum dry skin and itch relief Cream (click here for further information) and their dry and itchy scalp shampoo (click here for further information). Both products are designed to provide relief from dry and itchy skin and are suitable for anyone over the age of 3 years old. So, if you or a member of your family would benefit from said relief and fancy testing the two products, sign up below!

Here is what Balneum has to say: "At Balneum, we understand that an itch is never just an itch. Irritated skin can get in the way of everyday life, causing frustrations and ongoing itch-scratch cycles. It’s our mission to help you itch less and live more. Whether that’s spending more time with your loved ones, smashing your exercise routine, or enjoying a more social lifestyle, we’re here to help. We don’t just care for you, we care for your skin and scalp too."

All selected testers will receive both the cream and the shampoo and be required to: test out the two products for a month, leave feedback on a thread on Mumsnet,and complete a short survey. Everyone that leaves the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

If you’d like to take part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck!

Done! Would love to try this on DP who has bad sebaceous dermatitis, we're yet to find a product that works for him and he gets so down about it Sad

UniKittyCorn · 27/03/2018 22:30

Done. I have psoriasis and the itch is unbelievable🤞🏻

LineysRun · 27/03/2018 22:40

Can I recommend this as worth trying? I've had good results - so definitely worth signing up for.

Longdistance · 27/03/2018 22:48

I have psoriasis too. It’s currently making my life miserable with the itching. It’s seemed to have gotten worse recently too Sad

BrazzleDazzleDay · 28/03/2018 07:50

Lineys can i ask what you used it for?

The itch is getting the best of me atm, something that works would be amazing!

Namethecat · 28/03/2018 08:29

Here's hoping we get to try this.

SparklyMagpie · 28/03/2018 08:53

Done!

I suffer with psoriasis and on my scalp, have yet to find anything that takes the itch away from my scalp although I itch like crazy all over Sad

Fingers crossed

Middleoftheroad · 28/03/2018 10:06

Done - had this problem for 15 years now and it brings me down. Tried everything and can no longer wear any dark clothes. I have no confidence at work as my suit jackets reveal the truth.

MrsCharlesBrandon · 28/03/2018 10:33

Done, DD2 would be so happy if something helped her scalp!

LineysRun · 28/03/2018 11:37

Hi Brazzle, I tried the products via the 'freebies' box (samples) at my local dermatology outpatients. The Balneum ones (the bath oil and shampoo) were really good and calmed everything down.

My GP prescribes them for me now, as I have psoriasis and he reckons it's cost-effective for the NHS to keep it at bay. (I used to buy a pre-payment certificate for prescriptions, before receiving a medical exemption from prescriptions altogether regarding thyroid issues).

BollySBK · 28/03/2018 12:04

Done!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 28/03/2018 13:42

Done! Grin It would be great if this would help DD.

ncforthisok · 28/03/2018 14:02

Done, my DS has ichthyosis (dry skin condition) and I have eczema so we are definitely a 'problem' skin family.

IHateYourCarpet · 28/03/2018 16:01

Done! We're an incredibly itchy family.

But selfishly, I'd really like to go without tights this summer. I tend to scratch my legs till they bleed Blush

Baileycakes · 28/03/2018 16:10

Done!

bec4everuk1 · 28/03/2018 16:33
