Cliniderm's Skin Repair Balm ~ Review

Cliniderm is a dermatologist recommended brand for a variety of skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), dry skin, impetigo, psoriasis, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, diaper rash and sunburn. Cliniderm products are free of parabens, dyes, perfume, lanolin, formaldehyde and proteins. They're irritant free and suitable for sensitive skin.

Cliniderm recently released their Skin Repair Balm (40ml $19.99), a soothing and repairing balm for dry, irritated skin. Cliniderm claims that results can be seen in as little as 3 days with full results in 28 days. This balm is irritant and fragrance free and is suitable for use on children (over the age of 2).

Skin Repair Balm is formulated with 0.04 allantoin, 2% Defensil Plus and 2% Gatuline Skin Repair Bio to repair and restore skin's appearance while restoring and maintaining the skin's protective barrier.

As someone who suffers from the occasional bout of eczema I'm always on the hunt for products to soothe and quickly heal my skin when a flare up occurs.

I have very sensitive skin around my eyes and I react to a lot of eye creams. Sure enough, I switched eye creams recently and my eyes reacted to it. After a week of applying Polysporin's Eczema Cream with no success I decided to give this a try. Full disclaimer, this product is not recommend for use around the eyes.

After not wearing eye makeup for a week and getting nowhere with the Polysporin, I figured it was worth a try. The eczema patches were in the crease of my eye as well as underneath my lower lash line - far enough away from my eyes so there was no risk of it going directly into my eyes.

I applied a tiny amount (the size of a grain of rice) to my eczema patches before bed. When I woke up they weren't nearly as red and flaky. I continued applying it for three days (twice daily) and it cleared up completely. My eye contour area feels hydrated and looks fresh - obviously I'm quite impressed!

This cream is very hydrating, non-greasy and gets absorbed quickly. There's no scent to it and it's indeed irritant free. I love the fact that it is suitable for children; I don't have to buy a separate product for my girls.

If you have sensitive skin that's prone to irritation I highly recommend you give Cliniderm's Skin Repair Balm a try - you won't be disappointed!
