I suffer from periodic eczema it comes and goes ..my local pharmacists advised me to use this product . I can't say that it did the job for me ..sure it does sooth your eczema immediately and helps a lot with itching and scratching but unfortunately it won't heal it ..so I opted instead for a medicine containing hydrocortisone (Efficort_creme lipophile) since I've read that cortisone can cause skin thining . I decided to use Lipikar at daytime and use the med at night, once I noticed that the eczema had gone I stopped using the cortisone but kept on applying lipikar to help prevent it from coming back .
This was recommended by my dermatologist but I'm sad to say that it wasn't the best for my skin. It is definitely more moisturizing than Aveeno but when it comes to helping with eczema it was mediocre and cause more pain than my eczema itself which I have on my arms, legs, hands, chin, and parts of my face. I bought so many bottle of it but it didn't really help make my skin heal sadly.
I have battled with eczema since I am a little girl, especially in the middle of my arms. This product is nothing short but a miracle.
For mild breakouts, steroid creams once in a while were sufficient. I moved to a new country and my eczema just went mad, the more cream I used the worst it would get.
I found out about Lipikar Baume AP+ and decided to give it a go after I had calmed down the eczema with steroid creams (never put lotion on a wound, so treat with medication first). Let's just say, I have not used steroid creams since. This was three years ago.
I don't use it religiously, I put it on when I remember or when I feel the beginning of eczema. This product also exists as a little stick, which I carry around with me in case of emergency.
