It's no secret to you that I have eczema on my arms and legs which is getting worse and worse by the day. It's mostly stress related, but I have tried everything under the sun to help with the scratching and general soreness of my skin. I've gone the doctor route (didn't work) & tried probably about 40 different lotions/creams. Now, before I say this product is a miracle worker I want to say that everyone's skin is different and what works for me may not work for you. So many people have said "Ahh this product saved my skin!" and then I try it with no results. BUT I will definitely say that the La Roche-Posay Soothing Repairing Balm is worth a try if you're in a desperate spot.
This is a multi-purpose repairing balm that soothes lots of different skin irritations including: dry skin, chapped skin, sun burns, scratches, etc. It's an extremely nourishing cream, but is relatively light in texture. It's packed with minerals such as copper, zinc and manganese as well as antibacterial agents to ensure long lasting protection. It's paraben, fragrance and lanolin-free.

When I got an email asking if I'd like to try this product I wasn't expecting much of anything to be honest. As I said, nothing works for my eczema, but I thought it was definitely worth a try.
I ripped it out of the box and applied it to my elbows (which is definitely the worst area) and I'm not kidding it was such a feeling of relief I could have cried.
It now lives on my bedside table and I apply it twice a day (once in the morning and once before bed).
Dare I say this is a new holy grail product for me?
Have you had a good experience with this product too? Think you'll give it a try?
Just a quick note to say that www.escentual.com is having a massive sale on their French skincare brands (including this product). Everything is 1/3 off which is an amazing deal!
Might I recommend the Avène Gentle Gel Cleanser or the Caudalie S.O.S. Serum?
They're also stocking BIODERMA (which unfortunately isn't in the sale) but is great news regardless for all of you dying to try it!
