Balmonds Skin Salvation Moisturising Balm 120ml - Ointment for Dry or Sensitive Skin, Suitable for Babies, Children & Adults - Made in UK

My eczema isn't anywhere near as bad as most people probably have it, I've only ever had it once before in my lifetime which was last year when I had a little bit on my eyelids that made them swell up a little bit, nothing major and it went away very quickly within a week through the use of both 1% hydrocortisone and Aveeno moisturiser. My dad has it really big on his knee so I'm guessing for me it's a genetic problem as I literally see no other reason why it happens me to me completely randomly now and not any other time in my life, and I haven't changed products, diet or anything and can't see weather being the culprit because why now and not the other 20 years of my life? I also don't have any allergies. Nothing has changed.Anyway, about 3 weeks to a month ago I got it bad as I've personally ever had In the past but again nothing major. Very dry and flaky on my inner elbows and in between my fingers. If I'm not doing anything It doesn't bother me. I'm a naturally warm person and sweat easily so normally it would only ever bother me when I would take a trip to the shop about 20 minutes away from my home. On the way back I would become sweaty and hot which would aggravate it on my right inner elbow to the point it took an immense amount of willpower to resist itching, luckily I have that willpower. What also annoyed me perhaps more than the itch was when wearing short sleeves you could see red patches on my arm, also clearly noticeable in photos to which one person actually commented on one asking what happened to my arm.I reverted back to what had solved my extremely minor case last year, aveeno and 1% hydrocortisone, aveeno didn't do anything to help apart from moisturise it for a very lacklustre 1 hour or so by which point my eczema dried up and became really flaky again. So I introduced hydrocortisone, all that did was temporarily ease itching while I was using it. Virtually no improvement after a short course of 1 week applying it consecutively every day on affected areas in terms of redness, and given the negative effects hydrocortisone can have I refused to use it any more than 1 week.Then I found a news article online about how a young woman had really bad eczema on her face which made her look sunburnt and used Pure Potions Skin Salvation Intensive Moisturising Ointment which pretty much got rid of it for her. I might be getting ahead of myself but I've been using it for three days, applying it 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and just before bed) with some pretty good results. It stays moisturised for A LOT longer than Aveeno, and ever since using I haven't had the urge to itch at all when normally I would return from merely walking back to my home after shopping desperate to slap some moisturiser on it immediately (even when I had put some on before leaving the house!) The redness is also fading what looks to be remarkably well (although admittedly still easily noticeable from a distance in person but it looks like it's going in the right direction).It smells nice (Or atleast I personally liked it anyway) which is an added bonus. Picture is day 1, 2 and 3 of application. Highly recommend this product.

I don’t really write reviews.But this product is well deserving of a one.I think I’ve become a bit of a skin expert in my own right. Both my daughter and I suffer from very severe eczema which is very aggressive and debilitating.We have been to see everyone in the medical profession that we have access to both on the NHS and privately.They have in every case drawn a blank as to how to resolve our skin problems. We have literally tried everything. The only thing that has helped until now is totally cutting sugar from our diets which in itself is debilitating and difficult to manage.My wife read an article of a women who used Balmonds Skincare on her sons skin who suffered from what I can only describe as the same as my daughters skin condition.So I researched Balmonds and ordered some. It arrived on Christmas Eve and I wrapped it as a Santa Gift for my Daughter. Chritmas Day came and she opened the gift. My wife and I made such a big deal of the new special cream that Santa has delivered that was going to take away her little skin monsters. My daughter was mesmerised that Santa wanted to take her skin monsters away.The moment of truth was upon us. She came out of the bath and we dried her off. It was like a celebration for her to get her new cream out on. So we took the leap and applied the cream all over the backs of her legs. My advice is to take about a pea sized amount and rub it between your fingers to soften the cream into a ointment consistency then evenly apply the cream over the affected areas. I massaged the cream in and then put in her trousers.We got on with Christmas Day and forgot about the cream even at bed time we had forgotten we had applied the cream not having realised that my daughter had complained of itching.The next morning before bath time we inspected her legs and I have to say the results we’re unbelievable. Her skin still soft and moist. No redness, not inflammation and a lot clearer than the day before.My daughter almost brought us to tears by saying Santa has taken the monsters away.Since Christmas Day both my daughter and I have used the cream. The results improve each day with my daughters legs being almost completely clear.Believe the hype of this cream. It is amazing.I wouldn’t generally spend the time in writing a review but for me I want to spread the word of this cream to give other people the same experience I have had.Thanks

I have eczema around my face and although this calmed things down it doesn’t take it away for ever. Used it when I had big flare up and it did calm it down, but within a few days if not a week it would come back and you’d need to use it again.The smell wasn’t great to be honest, not the nicest smell I’ve had to put on my face but you do get used to it, not sure what it smells like to others once on your face....although the wife didn’t complain. So although decent cream that was good for sensitive skin and will calm things down it WONT cure your issues. Quite a thick substance also which I don’t normally like but again you get used to it, definitely clears up flaky skin which is the plus side as then you can put some on before you go out knowing your aren’t going to flak whilst out.

So good that I purchased the large jar. Keeps my husband’s dry skin at bay.
