The Difference Between Eczema Creams And Why One Works Better Than The Other
We all know the frustrating feeling of having to scratch, itch and fuss over eczema. Finding a quality product that will nourish, soothe, and heal while you find relief can be tricky. In this article find out the difference between eczema creams as well as why one works better than the other.
What is the Difference Between Eczema Creams?
The main difference between eczema creams is their ability to immediately soothe itching and inflammation. The cortisone cream (steroid) is the most effective, but it comes with a higher risk of steroid addiction. It also doesn’t have an anti-inflammatory effect, which can make the condition persist. Which means the inflammation remains inside the body, and the skin condition is somewhat suppressed.
Finding an eczema treatment cream, that works and doesn’t contain cortisone (steroids) is the perfect first line of defence to calm eczema flare ups. This way the eczema is being calmed, while still delivering anti-inflammatory ingredients of the layers of skin underneath the flare up. Then if steroids are still required, the amount of ointment required is much less and it is more effective in its application.
Common Ingredients in Natural Eczema Creams
Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to calm skin. Some common natural ingredients used are turmeric, centella, st johns wort, arnica, tea tree oil, paw paw, calendula & chamomile for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin repair and calming properties.
A common misconception is that steroids aggravate eczema. This is false, but long term use changes the texture of skin, causes steroid dependency and sometimes the body responds with topical steroid withdrawal causing all over body inflammation.
One Child’s Eczema Healing
Little Mia, started with small patches of eczema inside her elbows and behind her knees. When treated with steroids, immediate relief was felt, but her eczema continued to spread all over her body. All over her trunk, back, limbs, face & scalp.
All the while heavily dependent on steroids, until her entire body was completely inflamed, rejected steroids and required even stronger oral long term immune suppressant medication.
Her mother took some drastic steps and calmed the inflammation within her body (by a food elimination diet & gut healing diet) and created some natural, gentle eczema creams for her daughter to use.
What makes these eczema creams so unique?
They were created to work, because they had to work. Her daughter’s body was in a severe state of eczema.
The ingredients had to be gentle and include no toxins, as the ingredients were entering open sores on her daughter’s skin (which meant they were entering her blood stream fast).
This mother recognised, skin during an eczema flare up requires and eczema treatment cream that works quickly to calm the redness, dry and repair the open wound. She has created Level 2 Calm & Clear Cream for this purpose.
She also created an eczema cream that is gentle and can be used every day, throughout the day to calm flaking, irritated skin on face, scalp, hands and body.
The final piece of the puzzle she put together, was the texture of the skin required a boost. Her daughters skin was missing the plumpness, elasticity, and vibrancy that her other children had. So she created a barrier cream, which contained the most premium grade of ceramides and cholesterol (ingredients missing from the skin of an eczema sufferer) and created a cream to truly nourish her daughters skin.
In Conclusion
Not all eczema creams are the same. What works for one person, may not work for another. Finding an eczema cream, that has been created by an actual eczema sufferer for her daughter’s severe eczema is a unique find. You can be sure, only the highest quality ingredients were used and no stone left unturned to create a solution that works.
