Good eczema treatment?

[bellinasf]

Anyone had any success with using a product from Sephora to treat eczema? What is known to work? I have a recurring dry patch on my neck.

I had eczema for years. I use Yiganerjing ointment that I bought from Amazon. It heals my eczema scars and itchy skin. And yes, you might feel like vicks sensation after applying it. Make sure you put on 3x a day.

Thanks so much @jennalynnb @jamieb @txcatx @Anonymous @dreamsingreen @KristinaB21 @veronika23 @nekonat and @Ting1314 ! I really appreciate the suggestions! I decided to try the Dr. Jart because I found this cute trial size set I couldn’t resist. We’ll see how this goes!! Eczema be gone!👊🏾

Set includes Ceramidin & Cicapair

Keep us posted on how the cream works out for you, @bellinasf!  Buh-bye, eczema!

The only thing that worked for me was a prescription from my dermatologist. I used mometasone and it cleared up my severe eczema (hands, arms, legs, chest, neck, face) in a few weeks. If you haven't tried cortisone yet, I would suggest that, and moisturize with something simple like cetaphil.

I used to have a recurring eczema patch on my neck as well, but the only thing that cleared it up for good was a prescription ointment. It'll make the patch disappear within a couple of days, while anything from the drugstore or Sephora will take much longer. The prescription I got is a super common one--no dermatologist needed. I was able to get it from a clinic inside a grocery store. 

With that said, the occasional product (ugh, Charlotte Tilbury eye pencils in my case...) causes eczema flare up on my eyelids. I didn't want to use my prescription ointment on my eyelid because cataracts are a side effect, and based on a tip on these boards, I used Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask on my eyelid, and the eczema cleared up in a couple weeks or so.

@txcatx Yeah I had a prescription that did work well but I recently tosssed it because it was expired and I just don’t feel like making the time to see my doc for a new one also always looking for an excuse to buy more stuff from Sephora 😜

Hi @bellinasf,

I would recommend either Dr. Jart Ceramidin Cream and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream.  Sephora carries both products.  The First Aid Beauty cream comes in the original and scented variations - go for the original, unscented one - there's also a mini / travel size version available too.  Right now, with the holidays, there are value sets available from both brands with these products included.  Here are 2 sets from these brands; there are others at Sephora if the mix of products in these sets is not something that appeals to you.  The one from Dr. Jart contains the Ceramindin cream as well as a cream from the other Dr. Jart line that @KristinaB21 mentioned.  The First Aid Beauty Set contains a cleanser, an exfoliator and the cream.  I've used all three products before and enjoyed them.  The exfoliating pads are staples in my skincare routine; the cleanser I reach for when my skin is angry for whatever reason - weather, allergic reaction, etc.

@Anonymous I got the Best Face Forward set! Thanks for the tip!! I’ll start with the Ceramidin and see how that works. 

[Anonymous]

Yaay!  That is such a cute set. I picked one up at the Rouge sale as well - I'm a sucker for packaging.  Hope the Ceramidin cream works out for you, @bellinasf.  Keep us posted!

[bellinasf]

Will do!

[jamieb]

I second this!

[KristinaB21]

The ceramidin line and the cicapair line is life saving for sure. I have psoriasis and they have completely changed my skin. Along with a good exfoliant, I prefer chemical to physical but whatever works best for you 🙂

[dreamsingreen]

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, then Avene Thermal Spring Water Mist, then Avene Tolerance Extreme Creme. Nothing else. This combo helped my skin thru the WORST eczema flare-up/topical steroid reaction I’ve ever seen. My face went from looking like raw hamburger meat to smooth and normal in about two weeks. 

[bellinasf]

@dreamsingreen I have some Avene water so I’m gonna try that combined with the Dr. Jart Ceramidin and see how that concoction works out. Thank you ☺️

Hi @bellinasf

I love Consonant HydrExtreme.  It really helps with dry patches. It's available on Sephora.ca but I don't think it is on .com. Unsure though.  If you are in the US you can check Costco. It's an expensive product but I find it lasts long and worth it.  Good to buy during the sale even better if you are in the US and can get it at Costco.

You can check out Cerave from the drugstore or first aid beauty. Try to find products that are fragranced free.

[nekonat]

oh I agree with using Cerave! I get the one from behind the counter that doesn't contain hydrauronic acid. it works great for my daughters eczema too.

[bellinasf]

@Ting1314 Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve never tried Cerave so I may check that out. Tried first aid beauty in the past and it didn’t really help but you’ve just reminded me that I do have a sample here of the ultra repair cream so I’ll give it another shot!

[Ting1314]

Constant re-application is important as well. xD Sometimes when I am lazy, I just put a thick layer of cream on the dry patch and let the skin slowly absorb it.
