Next up: how Gladskin compares to other eczema skincare brands I‘ve tried!
If you‘ve made it all the way here, thanks for sticking with me! I know that was an epic novel of a skincare review. 😅
Here‘s the bottom line:
If you struggle with moderate to severe eczema flares, give Gladskin a shot, especially if OTC anti-itch creams haven‘t helped long-term. Using it consistently alongside lifestyle changes and doctor‘s treatments can make a big difference.
If you have milder eczema or seasonal flares, Gladskin may still be worth trying when you notice early symptoms. It could help nip more bothersome breakouts in the bud.
If other sensitive skin conditions like rosacea or reddness plague you, their Redness Relief Cream could be a game changer to gradually improve symptoms.
No matter what though, talk to a dermatologist if you have concerns about a worsening rash or painful flare up. Getting your eczema under control often requires a multi-pronged approach.
Whew, I hope this novel of a blog post on my experience using Gladskin for eczema was helpful for you! Drop any questions you might have in the comments. I‘m happy to chat more there 🙂
Your friend who totally gets the eczema struggle,
Maggie

Since I started using Gladskin, I met with my dermatologist Dr. Evans for a checkup.
She was happy to see the improvement in my skin‘s overall health! I asked her for tips on how to use Gladskin most effectively alongside my other eczema medications and treatments.
Here‘s her guidance that I found super helpful:
1. Apply creams to damp skin – After bathing or washing your hands, pat dry then apply medicated creams like Gladskin. This helps them absorb better.
2. Layer on thicker creams or ointments on top – For the nighttime, put a layer of the Eczema Cream on first. Then top with something heavier and more moisturizing to seal everything in.
3. Watch out for overusing steroids – Don‘t lean too heavily on steroid creams, as they can thin skin over time. Use them only sparingly to treat severe flares then switch to lighter options like Gladskin for maintenance.
4. Pay attention to triggers – Stress, dry weather, new products can all kick off eczema flares. Keep tracking of potential triggers so you can be extra vigilant with moisturizing.
5. Consider additions like wet wraps or silk clothing – Wrapping creamed skin in wet bandages at night helps everything absorb better. Wearing silk against the skin can minimize irritation too.
6. Be patient! – It can take 4-6 weeks of consistent use to see major changes with eczema topicals. Stick with it even if the first few days or weeks don‘t show obvious differences.
Hope you find those tips as helpful as I did! Having realistic expectations and following derm best practices with Gladskin has worked well for me.
Next, I‘ll quickly review some of Gladskin‘s other products I‘ve incorporated into my routine.

Y ou're feeling pretty good about the state of your wellness—until you look in the mirror (or start feeling itchy and inflamed) and see an eczema flare-up staring back. What do you do? It’s totally fair to be frustrated when your skin isn't cooperating, but before you declare war on your eczema, you might want to consider taking a friendlier approach.
If you're dealing with eczema flare-ups, board-certified dermatologist Julie Russak, MD, FAAD recommends befriending your skin microbiome—that is to say, learning about it, supporting it, and caring for it, just like you would do with a real-life friend.
By supporting that skin barrier, you're supporting the health of your skin, which Dr. Russak says people of all skin types should do, but especially those who are prone to eczema. Why? Because eczema is a chronic inflammatory condition, and when the skin's microbiome is out of balance, it triggers inflammation—which can then lead to an eczema flare.
So you've learned about why it's important to support your skin microbiome, now how do you go about actually caring for it? Dr. Russak recommends Gladskin's science-backed, microbiome-friendly skin solutions that offer balance, relief, and restoration. And because a bit of background is always nice when you're making a new friend, she's sharing more details on how the skin's microbiome and eczema are connected—and how to care for it on a daily basis—below.
Some key things about the Eczema Cream:
I religiously applied the Eczema Cream 2-3 times a day after washing when my skin felt especially parched.
Here are my before and after pics:

Skin on my forearms and hands after 1 month of applying Eczema Cream 1-2x daily
For me, I noticed a difference in about 1 week in terms of itchiness and dryness. After a month my skin looked and felt SO much better. The red, cracked patches have healed up and flare ups are less frequent.
But don‘t just take my word for it! In a clinical study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 65% of people saw improvement in eczema symptoms after 3 days of using Gladskin. And 91% saw significant improvement after 1 week.
So while everyone‘s skin can react differently, there‘s mounting evidence this stuff can really work to calm inflammation and provide eczema relief.
Some other perks about the Eczema Cream:
I will say it does have a bit of a medicinal scent. And you may need to reapply throughout the day if your skin gets dry. But neither things were dealbreakers for me!
