I have fairly clear skin with little blemishes but I do suffer from dry skin especially during the winter months and the change of the seasons. I know we are heading into spring and dry skin shouldn't be much of a problem anymore but for some people it is. I work in the health care field and wash my hands ALL the time! While washing with some of the harsh antibacterial soaps I get extremely dry and itch hands. Not a great feeling at all.
I have used a couple of these products in the past and a few of the people I support have used them also as they have been recommended by their doctors.

I will admit to being horrible at moisturizing my face but
since using the Spectro cream I have been moisturizing at least once
daily and have found my skin to be much softer and less stress dots
(blemishes). I love the Spectro cleanser and cream and can see myself using it year round as it doesn't have a fragrance. It isn't harsh on my skin, it leaves feeling smooth, clean and moisturized.

food, cosmetics, household detergents, polishes, and water (wet work). Prevex

nurses, childcare workers and healthcare providers to help relieve dry, chapped
hands.
Oh my goodness I can't believe I have never seen or used this cream before! I am in love with this cream. You only need a small amount each time as it is a barrier cream and very thick. It helped heal my dry and cracked knuckles better than anything I have used in the past and I have tried a lot. I love that it lasts through a few hand washes. I had cracked knuckles so bad when I started using this cream that they were bleeding each time I put them in latex gloves for working. They hurt so bad but after using this cream all weekend at work my hands looked and felt a million times better. I now carry it in my purse everywhere I go. I also love that it doesn't affect my manicures! Bonus!

This is the cream I have used for years with the people I support. I was first introduced to it back in 2003 as a cream I needed to apply to a few individuals on their dry cracked heels. It helped a lot with their heals and other dry areas of skin. Again you don't need a lot when applying and it makes your skin feel uber smooth!

ReplyDeleteI have used the Prevex Cream in the past, when I worked in construction, after my Doctor prescribed it to me for the eczema on my hands. And yes, it is a great barrier cream.
I have suffered with extremely dry flakey skin (asteatotic eczema and keratosis pilaris) almost year round for close to 48 years, with it steadily getting worse as I aged.
Finally (just recently) I found a couple of products which when I used them together have helped me immensely, and the flakes are now basically completely gone. Its like a miracle.
The products that have helped me are:
- Uremol 10 Urea 10% Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion
- Lac-Hydrin 12% Ammonium Lactate Lotion
Also, I use Cetaphil RestoraDerm Nourishing Body Wash. Maybe I will try the Spectro Cleansers next :)
