How it works
Restores the impaired skin barrier in eczema. Reduces trans-epidermal water loss, prevents allergen penetration, and reduces the downstream inflammatory cascade.
Avoid fragranced products. Apply within 3 minutes of bathing (the soak and seal method). Thicker formulations (ointments) are more effective than thin lotions.
Considered first-line management in all eczema guidelines. RCTs show daily emollients significantly reduce eczema severity and flare frequency.

βSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.β
