I’m thinking of buying the one that you recommend along with another one since I have very oily skin and the cetaphil one says it’s mostly for dry skin. If you have any recommendations on a good moisturizer for oily skin that would be great because I’ve read that certain moisturizers can also influence the problem. If you find the time, leave details on your approach on my most complete write up on that treatment here as well (will help readers of strictly that one).

The Restoraderm is hard to explain. Its very mild and doesn’t seem like it would do much. However, a little bit goes a long way for me. Eczema is a group of 7 different skin conditions that can cause dryness, itchiness, scaling, roughness, irritation or discoloration. For this reason I believe excessive scrubbing, washing, and any other method which acts to remove dead skin makes things worse. Personally I think reducing the skin cell turnover rate is what people should focus on.Moisturizing is not the only way to keep you skin moist. Sweating, sauna and high water intake all go hand in hand with healthy skin. These things are not just great for your skin, but also for your health. So why not put them to use. Myself I have not used a single foaming cleanser that has helped with my seborrheic dermatitis. But shaving foam never irritated it and shaving actually improved it for me. Also things that contained oil seemed to be bad overall. Yet currently I’ve been using a lotion that contains sunflower oil for over 7 months with amazing success. You can see the details of my current approach here. Finding the right moisturizer that you can use from time to time or even on a daily basis can help you hide your seborrheic dermatitis like a professional. However, many moisturizers on the market will actually cause more problems and make your skin flare up like never before.

Third I went to my local pharmacy and asked for all the samples they had of cleansers and moisturisers. The gentleman working was very nice and he gave me about 15-20 different types of cleansers, moisturisers and sun screens. After about going through 4-5 that had no effect, I stopped at Cetaphil Restoraderm. It had a very subtle, but extremely soothing effect on my skin. Since than I’ve been using the cleanser along with the moisturiser pretty much every day before bed. After washing my face with the cleanser I let it air dry and a few minutes later I apply the moisturiser. Everyone’s skin is different, what is recommended for some is not recommended for others. This also applies to seborrheic dermatitis, which also varies from person to person. In the end, I kind of gave up on it. It helped around 95%, but my face would still get irritation sometimes. Great stuff, very diluted, contains parabens, but is never made my seborrheic dermatitis act up. It claims to contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides which on paper look amazing. However, I never really witness crazy results from this lotion (more for maintenance purposes). When using this stuff I found that less is more and when diluted with boiled water it makes it much better. This lotion was also very ineffective as a hand moisturizer.If you have any of the following health problems, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product: skin cuts/infections/sores. Seborrheic dermatitis is heavily correlated with immunosuppression. From what I remember the correlation with SD and AIDS is off the charts, something like 40-80% ( study). HIV it's something like 36%. In the general population the percentage is somewhere closer to 3-5%. This is likely to due to suppressed sebum protection from the fungus that causes the SD.
