Does anyone have any recommendations for people with eczema? I noticed a gal I work with using a moisturizing lotion that contains petroleum and mineral oil. I told her I would do some research and let her know if we had anything that she could use that might help. Thanks!

Thanks so much! The picture on the testimonial looks like her hands. I
know that they hurt her and itch like crazy. I'd love for the products
to help her...

You know when you see what some of the products can possibly do for
people, like the Phyto or Skin Conditioning oil you wonder why isn't
everyone using these?smileys/smiley5.gif I find people are soo skeptical if the answer is an easy one...use Arbonne...feel and look better. How easy is that, lol!smileys/smiley9.gif

My 7 year old daughter has eczema. We have been battling it since she was an infant, spending countless $$ at drs., dermatologists, pharmacies, etc. After my sister discovered Arbonne, she sent me the baby care package (this was 7 mo. ago) and the anti-flake shampoo. My daughter's eczema severely affected her scalp as well. Within a week, her eczema virtually disappeared. Now, Iregularly use the cleanser & body lotion on her, & when she gets the eczema rash (infrequently) I will put the Arbonne baby oil on it. It is gone by the next morning! She no longer has a flaming red itchy scalp either! Needless to say, I am now a consultant so that I can keep the supply going! Also, I should say, that one of the prescription treatments that was given to her by the dr. as safe for children (which didn't even work!), has since been shown to cause cancer!!! Now, I have justrecieved the hand cream for my MIL's cracked, bleeding hands. I'm confident that she will see relief quickly. How many other products can I say that about?!

Both of my sons have eczema, and have since birth. I know of the medicine you're talking about. I used it on both my kids BEFORE we found out about the cancer! Not happy, to say the least.


Would anyone be willing to provide me with a sample product to test on their itchy spots? I've got the herbal foot cream, but they cringe when I use it due to it's potency and smell. I think it burns when I put it on them (I use it myself, and it burns me sometimes).


I ask about a sample, because I've tried numerous remedies only to be burned on them, and they don't work. I'd like to KNOW something will work before I try yet another product.


PM me if you can help me out!


Thanks

I will probably besigning up with Arbonne soon and have a question along these lines - my 4 1/2 year old son does not have eczema, but he and his brother have both had small bumps on the top of their arms and sometimes faces since they were tiny. My 7-yr-old seems to have pretty much outgrown it, but it is very evident on my younger one's face this summer. I was wondering which would be the best cleanser for him to use - just the basic cleanser? I assume he is too young for the baby products....


Thank you for any input.

I don't like the pictures on that website regarding eczema. I think they are misleading. If you notice, she only shows her left hand with the eczema in the "before" shots, then only her right hand in the "after". I love Arbonne products and I do think they can help some people with skin conditions, but pictures like that can make others skeptical.

Oh wow I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out! I have experienced WONDERFUL things though with the baby line. My 18 month old daughter had HORRIBLE excema until I started using Arbonne. Now the outbreaks are VERY rare and hardly there at all!! I do think you should ALWAYS be skeptical with pics, somethings you just have to experience yourself to believe!
