So we're back with another trial team from the cult brand CeraVe! This time we're looking for reviewers to form a trial team reviewing two products; both products are suitable for skin with Ketatosis Pilaris and Eczema - two conditions that can be at the least; annoying, and at the most, painful and frustrating to live with.
Keratosis Pilaris is a common and harmless skin condition where small bumps are present, mostly on the arms, bottom, back, thighs and sometimes the face. The bumps can blend into the skin, or may be red, pink or brown and some people find KP itchy. The bumps are caused by an excess production of keratin, which gets trapped in the hair follicle. It's most common in children and teens, with women more likely to experience it than men.
Eczema is a common skin condition, of red, itchy and/or dry skin. Eczema can be quite mild, or very servere - impacting daily life in some cases. The causes of Eczema can be complex, the most easy to identify are irritants such a soaps, wool, heat or sweating. Allergens such as pollen and foods can also cause a flare up. Emotional stress is another eczema trigger.
Eczema commonly begins on the face, hands and feet, but it can spread to the whole body. Eczema can be identified by itching, redness, tiny fluid filled blisters, dry, pale patches of skin and areas of leathery, thick skin.
One key factor in both soothing and preventing eczema flare ups is moisturising.
This trial team will be reviewing the Smoothing SA Cleanser and the Smoothing SA Moisturising Cream. Both products work together to exfoliate, soften and smooth dry, rough, bumpy feeling skin without disrupting the protective skin barrier.
I'm in my 30s now and still struggle with acne and have had KP on my upper arms for as long as I can remember, it stops me wearing anything sleeveless and I have a habit of picking at them and making them scar. I'd love to find something that will help me with not only my facial skin but to get rid or lessen the KP and allow me to wear more things in summer than a boring old tshirt!
