Surcare has made a huge difference - Matthew, UK

I have had eczema since I was a baby and have found it very hard to control until I started using Surcare that is. The worst time for me was about four years ago, when it was really uncontrollable. Now, it still is bad but not as bad. This is due to a number of reasons, and I consider Surcare to be the main one. The other factors are the sun. I found when I go abroad the sun heals it but when you get back to England it appears again within about one month. I have used a number of treatments prescribed by my doctor. But these treatments only seemed to slow the process of it spreading down. These include Oilatum, Vaseline and now I use Eumobase to keep moisture and to stop it from itching. I also use simple soaps to wash. I belong to one support website, talkeczema. This website is a great help on advising me and I would like to thank them for all there advice. I first heard about Surcare on talkeczema's website. I have only been using Surcare for a couple of months but have noticed big differences. Certain shower gels irritate my skin and soaps. These are normally scented soaps and shower gels. I went over a number of things that might irritate my skin and this included: things I ate and the washing powder that I used at the time. I realised that it was the washing powder I was using. Eczema has had a big impact on my life, I find when I am nervous I really start itching. It is really embarrassing. Sadly also I have eczema on my hands. Which is a real pain, so certain things also irritate my fingers.

Surcare has really made a difference I no longer have to worry about the washing powder irritating my skin. Thanks to surcare my eczema has begun to gradually get better and does not itch anymore which is really good. My mum also has eczema and she also agrees that it has made a real difference. So I would advise anyone who suffers with eczema to try Surcare. I guarantee you will notice a difference with Surcare. So thank you Surcare for making my life much better with no worries about my eczema. (October 2005)

I tried a Surcare sample and it's great - Diane, Motherwell, Scotland

I am, a mum of a 6yr old son who has had eczema since he was about 1 month old. We have tried different types of soap powder and conditioner for long months on an end. Up until recently I had found Bold to be best and had been using it for a few years, but I received a free sample of Surcare and I was so pleased with the result. I went out and bought a box of Surcare and some conditioner and what a difference this has made. My son's washing is all done separately from the rest of the household, which some people say that it is inconvenient and more expensive with different washing powder. But I really really don't mind I'm so pleased with the results that Surcare has made to my son's skin. (September 2003)

I am converted to Surcare - Stephanie, Luton, UK

Just to let you know we've started to use Surcare as my daughter who is 5 months old has eczema, my son 11 has sensitive skin and had infantile eczema, my partner has psoriasis and I have allergy related eczema.

I applied for a sample of the washing powder and purchased a small box of tablets and used them exclusively for a week. We now use it all the time. At the week end I purchased washing up liquid and used it without the drying and cracking problems. I shall be using it exclusively for a week just to check but first signs are fab thank you.
