Mangaging Eczema Prone Skin with Skincare

Eczema affects up to 30% of Australian children1 and has a lifetime prevalence of 34.1% in the general population2. Our QV Dermcare range is scientifically formulated to address the specific needs of eczema prone skin. Discover frequently asked questions below about our QV Dermcare skincare range and how to manage symptoms effectively

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy and inflamed skin3. Eczema can be caused by genetics and/or environmental factors3,4. Flare ups are often triggered by things such as stress, allergens, the environment or irritants such as soap and fragrances3,4. When you have eczema, the skin's protective barrier becomes weakened5. This means skin can’t retain moisture as well, and is more susceptible to external irritants. As a result, the severity of eczema increases due to physical damage to the skin barrier5, which can lead to frequent flare ups and the urge to scratch. The intense itch often leads to scratching, which can further damage the skin creating an ‘itch-scratch cycle’ that makes the condition worse over time6.

 

Consistent use of an appropriate moisturiser is recommended as a first line management step for all severities of eczema11. Opting for a soap free wash can help to cleanse the skin without drying or causing further irritation. QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Cream and QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Wash are specifically designed to help relieve symptoms of mild to moderate eczema. Clinical testing has shown they significantly improve skin barrier function in 28 days7, and a separate survey found that 85% of eczema users experienced less flares, irritation, and itch8.

Both of these clinically tested eczema cream and eczema body wash are scientifically formulated with ceramides EOP and NP, Lactic Acid, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Glycerin to help support skin barrier function. 

The QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Wash aims to gently cleanse and hydrate to help soothe eczematous skin, while the QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Cream is formulated as a dedicated eczema moisturiser to help relieve itchy, dry skin by forming a protective barrier to help skin retain moisture. 

Clinical evidence has shown that a number of skincare ingredients, including glycerin, ceramides, L-lactic acid, and nicotinamide, can have beneficial effects for eczema7.

All QV Dermcare skincare products are dermatologically tested and free from common irritants like fragrance and soap that could potentially trigger flares in eczema prone skin.

For extremely dry, cracked skin that often accompanies eczema prone skin, QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment provides 24 hour hydration with a water-free formula that won't sting when applied to compromised skin. It helps keep skin protected and comfortable.

Yes, to help relieve symptoms of mild to moderate eczema, we recommend using QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Wash in the shower or bath as a gentle cleanser, or using it at the sink on affected skin areas. This can be followed by QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Cream as your eczema moisturiser to hydrate and help relieve symptoms. This eczema cream can be applied as often as required. Apply the QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment as needed to extremely dry, cracked or vulnerable areas. It’s suitable for use with eczema prone skin and provides moisturisation without stinging.

For extremely dry  or cracked skin, particularly common with eczema prone skin, we recommend QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment to soothe skin without the sting. This water-free formula provides intense hydration while soothing without stinging. 100% of users report their skin feeling immediately moisturised and protected9.

Yes all products under the QV Dermcare range are suitable for both facial and body areas. The gentle pH balanced formulations are specifically designed for sensitive, eczema prone skin.

Yes, QV Dermcare Eczema Daily products can be used in conjunction with topical corticosteroids used for eczema. Suitable emollients can be applied immediately after steroid creams as needed10. The QV Dermcare Eczema Daily range is designed to support overall skin health as part of an eczema management plan, which typically aims to repair and protect the skin barrier both during and between flares.

Always consult your healthcare professional before using topical corticosteroids, and whether incorporating QV Dermcare skincare products for eczema into your existing treatment regimen is right for you.
