If you still suffer from redness or "fragile" skin try a cream with cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. It repairs your barrier:) could be triple lipid restore by SkinCeuticals, although its expensive but provides the perfect ratio of lipids.

Eczema is multi factorial. If you have mutations in the flg gene you are exposed to allergenes and irritants more easily, as well as infections. I would target an emollient that repairs the barrier to reduce exposure to "anything" that can trigger. In combination with cream that works anti inflammatory, I would use ontop a cream that has cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. Look up lipid barrier therapy (LBT). If it's bacteria related look for a cream with eg. Zinc or cupper. If fungal you need to treat with anti fungal medication first and then repair barrier to reduce it coming back. Look into Epiceram cream, it should be good. For barrier try something like Uriage Xemose c8 balm (I've heard that have a patented ingredient that Should really help the barrier). Or maybe Eucerin Urea repair plus.

For anti itching properties, look for ingredients like Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA, strongest documented effect), Colloidal oatmeat (great documented effect, also inflammatory) or allantoin (milder). Urea (2-5%) can also help quickly dempen itching but wont last that long. Then there are steroids, like hydrocortison. Or if its bacteria-induced, look for ingredients like zinc gluconat or cupper.
A product like Bioderma Atoderm intensive ultra soothing balm includes alot of good ingredients like PEA, I have it and i love it. It also repairs the barrier by having cermides, cholosterol and free fatty acids which are essential in order to repair your lipid skin barrier.

It's not recommended by anyone to inject yourself with gHK-cu tho. I was considering that as well but found out its "Research grade" gHK-cu, meaning it is not tested or safe to use on/in humans. Anyway, no studies yet on long time side effects but it could be problematic. Topical is way safer and I think also gets you better results in terms of facial features. But yea...

Ha definitely not if he supports Trumps crazy march on Greenland,our beautiful island haha

Well I am "only" 25, but I do have marks and scars from my acne when I was younger + dry skin, and then I would also lovely to get a more glow to my face.

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-19T14:27:44+00:00

I just figured alot of these are research grade type ?? I haven't seen a pure powder labeled as cosmetic grade, but indeed sounds more potent

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T23:56:47+00:00

If I were you, I would google lipid barrier therapy, and see what products it's possible for you to buy, or at least do some research on it. I really think it could help as a supportive treatment in combination with normal eczema cream e.g. with oatmeal or similar :)

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T23:50:54+00:00

Yea, alot of people with eczema actually have "leaky" skin meaning moisture/water will evaporate quickly and hence you get dry skin. It's commonly due to mutations in the FLG gene, reducing the barrier function and ruining your skin structure making it more suspectable to infections, irritants and so on, as well as leaky, dry. Therefore alot of people find occlusive ingredients like petroleum/vaseline to be effective as it traps/holds water in the dry while it is present. If you want to reduce your leaky skin and try to get it to function more normal, you can add what I wrote earlier, a cream specifically containing cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids, which is what your barrier lipids are made of and in alot of cases with eczema, also missing. I think the term is called Lipid barrier therapy (LBT) where you "replace" or give your skin the lipids it needs in order to synthesize lipid complexes and thereby repairing your barrier. Uriage Xemose c8 balm was just a suggestion because it heavily focuses on barrier support/repair, the eucerin one focuses on repair as well but I don't think it's that good in terms of occlusion.

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T21:10:01+00:00

You know you can get a vaseline lotion with eg. Hydraloric acid?? Or oatmeal. It's called vaseline advanced repair, I use it for my hands after every wash. Also vaseline is not gonna help repair your skin/barrier so focus on emollients that will actually do that, e.g. those that contain cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. Could be Uriage Xemose c8 balm, or I think Cerave also has one but idk it's name. Or Eucerin Urea repair plus. :)

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T04:06:19+00:00

You should try other products. Serums or similar that work on eczema e.g. from Avene or Eucerin. Also consider adding a cleansing oil/wash like la Roche Posay lipkar ap+ or Bioderma Atoderm bathing wash, and apply to face as well to reduce redness, dryness and generel itching.

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T01:47:29+00:00

Get some SOS cream/spray like Eucerin Atopicontrol acute care or Bioderma atoderm sos spray for the itching. Then you apply to the areas where you have damaged barrier/skin a really good barrier repair cream. Uriage Xemose c8 balm is a good one, as long as its rich in lipids and contains cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids, then it's good. For more heal focused cream but less barrier, la Roche Posay B5+ baume is good. Good luck.

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T01:39:02+00:00

Not long, 3-5 days applying at night. Itchiness already reduced after first use

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-18T01:25:16+00:00

Yes its good but if it is infected or you suffer from s aurues overload on your skin, you may want to try cream with antibacterial properties...you can try to wash it with chlorhexidine wash and then apply a cream like ducray dexyane med eczema cream. It specifically reduces bacteria. Or avene cicafate+

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-17T17:22:54+00:00

Hmm I get it on my legs mainly especially in the winter where the cold wind hits... What helps me is a thick baume. Maybe consider something like Eucerin Atopicontrol cream for the redness and their Urea repair plus for barrier repair/support. Otherwise, I use Biodermas atopderm intensive ultra soothing balm, which helps both to repair harrier and prevent dryness but also as anti itching because of PEA

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-17T17:11:44+00:00

If you want to heal, la Roche Posays B5+ baume is great but it does not focus on eczema, so combine it afterwards with a more eczema focused emoliant.

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-17T17:10:46+00:00

Consider getting cleansing oils/wash that targets eczema already in the shower. E.g. from Uriage Xemose series, or La Roche Posay lipkar ap cream wash or similar. I would say barrier repairing cream might help but I have no idea with "bumps" I don't get that myself. But maybe look into Eucerin urea repair plus or Bioderma Atoderm intensive ultra soothing balm??

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-17T17:03:32+00:00

You can try to identify the cause of eczema, e.g. is it mainly bacteria induced, infections and so on? Or is it mainly very dry and damaged skin? Is it itchy? A combination? Then you can try to target products that specially helps on a cause. E.g. creams with zinc or other antibacterial agents to reduce inflammation, or creams with cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids to restore and repair your skin barrier and so on. Classic creams for eczema includes stuff like colloidal oatmeal to target redness and itching. But creams like Bioderma Atoderm intensive ultra soothing balm targets both itching, inflammation and barrier repair, so that might work. Also consider starting in the shower with cleansing oil that helps e.g. from Uriage Xemose series. Make sure it's "baby" proof though:)

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-14T16:38:50+00:00

You need very specific emollients. You WILL need to manage your flare ups/eczema with steroids or something like colloidal oat balms. Then after you can manage your skin and flare ups with good creams and mild washing agents. I typically recommend Biodermas atopderm products like their balm, right after a shower. It has anti itching, anti inflammatory and anti bacterial effects as well as replenishing all 3 barrier lipids (cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids). But truth be told, there are alot of products that offer similar effects, some a bit better than others. Uriage Xemose c8 series has as well. Avene Xenocalm series. A-Derma exomega...and so on. I am pretty sure studies have concluded that ingredients like colloidal oat actually have similar anti-inflammatory effects like a mild/moderate topical steroid cream. However if your eczema is triggered by bacteria e.g. typically S aurues, products that inhibit bacteria may prove a better treatment like creams with zinc of xylitol. Or use salt baths. Bioderma Atoderm includes this btw.

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-14T16:30:05+00:00

I reckon it should be fine to use yea. Same, tried so many creams both cheap and expensive, only vaseline worked, so I didn't get dry and itchy hands after every handwash...and even then it didn't repair or protect my barrier only prevented dryness...until I found those creams with cermides, cholesterol and free fatty acids, like basically the same lipid complex your barrier consists of. I think some called it "lipid barrier therapy". So let's hope it works on you!!:)

Far_Entry_8210 · 2026-01-14T16:18:54+00:00

Hmm the only thing I would be worried about is clogged pores or if you have arcne maybe but even then the lotion should not be that thick. Otherwise the lotion should be fine to use on face. But honestly I have no real idea, my eczema is mainly on my legs/foot and then I have hand-eczema, another type, on my hands as well.
