Problematic and sensitive skin concerns don’t solely happen to adults. In fact, with the most common condition, atopic eczema, children are significantly more likely to experience it than adults (1 in 5 vs 1 in 10, according to the National Eczema Society).
Symptoms can start from just three months - red, sore, extremely dry and unbearably itchy patches affecting not only daytime comfort but also ability to settle and sleep at night. For little ones, it’s traumatic. For their parents it can be heartbreaking.
We help sensitive or problematic skin at every age as our specialised, exceptionally natural complexes are 100% steroid free. Though we love hearing all your skin stories, learning we’ve really helped your little ones impacts our team far more deeply…
Luella’s skin story
(…shared by her mum, Lydia)
As Luella turned about 2, I began to notice her cheeks were looking sore, dry and red. It quickly worsened and I felt at a loss to know what to do - or use - to soothe her skin and get it back to being calm and happy.
“I felt terrible seeing her suffer, not knowing why or how to make it better.”
Research led me to try so many different things to help her delicate, sensitive and very young skin: extra-soft bamboo flannels for bathing, natural detergents for all bedding and clothing, different baby washes and creams, hoping they would soothe and not irritate her sensitive skin. Nothing helped.
“I was desperate to avoid steroid creams from the doctor and looked for products with as many natural ingredients as I could to find. I eventually came across Dermatology M.”
Your ingredients and values impressed me - your products looked high quality and your ingredients really well considered - like they could really improve Luella’s situation. So, I thought I’d give your route a go. I’m so grateful I did.
I ordered Soothing Rescue Cream. The formula is more expensive than we’d normally manage… however, the ingredients are high quality and natural, you only need a little and - importantly - it works and our little girl is so happy, so it’s been worth every penny.
Using a touch of this cream on her face at bedtime, we saw a remarkable difference in no time. Luella’s cheeks became less red, less dry, they are healing. She is no longer constantly scratching or in pain. Finally, we had found something that worked - and worked so well. Most importantly, though, Luella’s skin no longer causes her upset; she doesn’t see any sores and tells me with a huge smile “My face, all better.”
As a society, today, we are often quick to complain and much slower to compliment. For this reason - the best reason - I want to say thank you for Soothing Rescue Cream. The incredible product that healed our little girl’s skin and restored her happiness.
