ALLERGENICS CREAM (MRK 2) 50ML

Product Information

Allergenics Ointment has been specially developed using natural hypo-allergenic ingredients that significantly reduce the risk of allergic reactions. It is enriched with fatty acids, EFA's, which are essential for retaining moisture and preventing moisture loss. They are also needed for maintaining the balance of prostoglandins, a substance which regulates reactions such as inflammation. The fatty acids in this ointment are sourced from Borage Oil, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter. With 25 years of research behind the brand, La Roche-Posay has used Aqua Posae Filiformis, a new ingredient that re-establishes the skin’s microbiome (bacteria) balance, and preserves the skin’s barrier – both essential for dry skin. It’s always on my desk for fast relief. I started using this around ten years ago, prescribed by the doctor. Now it is hugely popular, with Jennifer Aniston as the brand ambassador. Constantly trying to calm down my condition, I carry a minimum of three in my handbag, a shrine of them on my desk, and leave grease marks on every surface. In the meantime I have found the ones that live up to their claims and have done wonders for helping the symptoms of an extremely frustrating condition. In a bid to stop using steroid creams, Vanessa Chalmers has been trialling natural eczema creams that claim to soothe, moisturise and rejuvenate. She rounds up the best ten with no nasty ingredients

The effective and natural Allergenics range also includes topical cream , a face and body shower gel , a medicated hair shampoo and a body lotion . It’s not exactly a cream – it’s a small pot of green coloured gel, which applied to damp skin after the shower has been shown in trials to be as effective as steroids- say what! SLS is most commonly used as a surfactant to help a product function as a detergent. Any product that foams is likely to contain high concentrations of SLS. It can significantly disrupt the natural pH of the skin by raising it and this can disrupt the skin barrier. I always advise people with sensitive skin to avoid these products. Unique Allergenics Cream contains no preservatives. Dermatologists agree... preservatives are amongst the principle causes of sensitivity to skin care products. Allergenics moisturising emollient cream provides a safe, natural and preservative free alternative to regular dermatological skin care products. It can also be used as a cleanser and bath additive – melt around four grams in hot water then add to the bath.Sometimes eczema and the beauty industry don’t walk hand in hand, however, the formulation of keratin, elastin and collagen can be highly effective in the treatment of eczema (as well as being anti-ageing, which is an added bonus). Silver Serum is quite importantly tapping into the good/bad bacteria conversation, noting that, ‘it’s the bad bacteria that leads to inflammation, redness and itching from eczema, but the good bacteria is essential for keeping skin healthy and strong’. When I take off my gloves in the morning (I have eczema on my hands), the skin is softened and its irritability is reduced. This would be due to the light liquid paraffin, which replaces lost skin oils, and the white soft paraffin, which forms a protective barrier on the skin surface. It’s use of finely-milled oatmeal is desirable for anyone, not only eczema sufferers, and the fast-absorbing formula makes it easy to apply as frequently as you like.

It’s clinically proven to improve skin in just one day, with significant improvement in two weeks. For those with sensitive skin, this cream will not let you down or cause stinging. Steroid creams are extremely useful for a number of skin conditions and can relieve itching and pain in some very distressing conditions, for example severe eczema. Used correctly, they can also be extremely safe. However, if you are using steroid creams more than occasionally, you should do so under medical guidance.

Labelling their Silver Bullet cream as the first ‘smart’ eczema cream, it contains a form of silver called MicroSilver ™ that specifically seeks out and kills bad skin bacteria while leaving good skin bacteria in tact. Anti-irritant’ and ‘anti-scratching’ are what caught my eye on this product, considering most eczema creams are for moisture. However, this too, is extremely hydrating. When I stopped using steroid creams this January, I was awakened to the natural eczema remedies and the booming industry for sensitive skin friendly creams. The MSM stands for Methyl Sulphonyl Methane, a natural form of organic sulphur compound which Rawgaia claim to be a new buzzword within beauty. It comes in a self preserving form, which means it keeps itself clean without the use of synthetic preservatives. I would also recommend Ceridwen’s Cauldron Bath Melt, an oaty milky balm in a muslin cloth (yep, Lush don’t just do rainbow coloured glittery bath bombs!)
