My skin story | Defeating dermatitis

It’s a narrative we hear often: customers long-suffering with a serious skin concern, interventions from many medical professionals, countless prescription and over-the-counter topicals – all to no avail. There’s no better feeling than when you tell us you finally found relief and transformed your skin health with us.

Here, Polly shares her dermatitis story and how our “magic cream healed it in one week”...

Polly’s Skin Story

Over a year ago, I started experiencing redness, swelling and sore, cracked skin on my hands. My GP prescribed steroid creams and other treatments – nothing worked (beyond temporary relief). And so began months of back and forth with my GP. I was eventually referred to NHS Dermatology, but the wait was nearly a year. UVB red light therapy followed for my dermatitis diagnosis, though sadly it triggered painful prickly heat and I had to discontinue it. Oral steroids were offered, though side effects meant I chose not to proceed. The impact on my confidence and daily life was huge.

“I was so self-conscious. I’ve always been passionate about great skincare, so I constantly wore gloves to hide my hands in case people thought I didn't take care of myself.”

I decided to take matters into my own hands. I enjoy reading beauty content on social media and came across Dermatology M. Everything changed.

“Your online skincare quiz recommended Nourishing Cream. I admit I was dubious but, with its 5-star reviews, I decided to try it. Within 8 days, I noticed a huge transformation – my hands finally looked normal.”

The improvement since has been incredible. Within two weeks of using Nourishing Cream, I wasn’t experiencing any skin cracks or severe dryness. It truly helps! I will genuinely keep stocked up on this magic cream.

“I can’t put into words how much this improvement means to me. Dermatology M has given me hope when I thought nothing would work.”

Nourishing Cream – Polly’s “magic cream”

Like Polly, thousands of customers with dermatitis, eczema, sensitive skin or psoriasis use and love Nourishing Cream. It was one of our first ever formulas and, quite simply, is a game-changer for those with problematic skin.

Its award-winning, steroid-free complex is uniquely formulated to intensely soothe, deliver deep, lasting nourishment and strengthen the skin barrier to protect from inflammation – ideal for use together with your targeted topical treatment for the concern, and even alone once symptoms ease.
