My boss got some for his daughter, but it didn't work for her, so he gave it to me. What has worked for you? I've found that exposing my skin to sunlight & open air is the most effective, but you would have to be crazy to go outside topless & wearing shorts in a Southland winter.	Greven (91)

I don't mind looking around for it if it works well for you oh nearly forgot..clinique's moisture surge extra works well too but that's quite expensive also something weird I noticed.. if you don't use it often, it's very effective when you apply it but if you continuously use it, then the effect is not as obvious maybe it's just because of my weird skin..um..	heni72847 (1166)

584644	2007-08-26 02:15:00	I have excema I always have to use moisturizing cream after shower and when the weather is hot my skin becomes really itchy. There are 3 creams which you can use for excema.See your doctor The first one is a fragrent free cream which can be applied anytime you like and doesn't cause any harm.its equivalent to moisturizing cream although that cream is design for ezecma.The cream is nutra plus The 2nd one is err can't remember the name but for moderate itchness. The 3rd one is extreme cases and should only be used when you are extremely itchy I find moisturizing cream works really well.keep your skin moisturize and it should be fine	Ninjabear (2948)
584645	2007-08-26 02:17:00	Locoid Is what my son was always prescribed. He had it right from when he was a baby. The best thing used to be swimming in the sea water, it was marvellous. Being Southland though......	pctek (84)

584647	2007-08-26 02:40:00	Wash your clothes with something like Lux Flakes, do not use the normal washing powders. It will clog up your washing machine but if this works it will be worth it.
