"With this protection in place your skin keeps its
own moisture in and has a chance to use this natural moisture in the deep layers
of the skin to heal itself," Dr. Lisa Benest,
dermatologist, Burbank, CA.
Skin MD Natural is an effective natural skin care
treatment for hands, face and body. Recommended as an exceptional daily
moisturizer for healthy skin and for the treatment of eczema, eczema craquelé
resulting from thyroid malfunctions, psoriasis, irritant contact dermatitis and
all dry, itchy skin conditions.
Most cases of eczema are due to water loss or dry skin,
or contact dermatitis due to irritants or allergies. If we can increase the
moisture in skin while decreasing the exposure to irritants or allergens then we
can alleviate much of what we know as eczema.
Skin MD Natural achieves both these objectives by
blending a proprietary humectant and five natural plant extracts with a light
silicone ingredient that bonds with the surface of your skin like a liquid
shield. Humectants in skincare creams draw in moisture from the air and allow
moisture to be maintained within the body and until now glycerin has been the
gold standard of humectants. But Skin MD Natural has a proprietary new humectant
based on cutting edge chemistry that actually hydrates the skin 6 times more
than glycerin.
In clinical trials for Trans-Epidermal Water Loss
(TEWL), Skin MD shielding lotion not only reduced the amount of trans-epidermal
water loss, but over time increased the skin's ability to moisturize itself.
Creating this protective shield helps the skin to heal
itself. It keeps the moisture in and the irritants out. And unlike conventional
skin creams that come off when you rub your hands or wash them, Skin MD Natural
shielding lotion bonds with the skin and doesn’t wash off, lasting for at least
four hours while protecting your skin, keeping your own moisture in and
encouraging the skin to moisturise itself.

Tester’s Tip 1: Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is a delight to use. It
has a light smooth feel and skin feels instantly softer and more moist.
Depending on how dry your skin is the first few days may require reapplications
after only a few hours. Usually, after a few days of continuous use, only one or
two daily applications are necessary to see the
improvement.
Tester's Tip 2: Paraben allergy can make
it tricky to find skin preparations that won't make a difficult condition like
eczema even worse. So I was delighted to discover new Skin MD Natural
moisturising Shielding Lotion, which my paraben-allergic son is using with great
success. His allergy was diagnosed after a reaction to using E45, and Skin MD Natural has proved an excellent alternative.
It's light and non-greasy and great for putting on over steroid or prescription
emollients to seal them in. Because it dries so rapidly you can use Skin
MD Natural on your hands and feet before putting on socks or gloves and the version
with SPF15 is an excellent moisturiser for the
face.
What You Say
"I just want to thank you so much for this fantastic product. I've suffered from eczema since a baby, and at worst been in hospital covered in wet wraps and steroids. It was especially upsetting for me, when, at 20, I developed eczema on my face. I could no longer tolerate makeup and every cream I tried caused a reaction. It was with a great deal of scepticism that Ibought a bottle of Skin MD, but it sounded different to other things I've tried. The first thing that shocked me was the fact that it didn't cause a reaction on my face and my skin lost its usual tightness. My husband, who had developed severe dermatitis on both hands, was almost clear after a week of using the lotion, and my steroid use has lessened considerably. I have now just ordered my third bottle. You have, in short, given me my life back! I recommend this product to everyone I know, and when they see firsthand my improved skin, they all want a bottle. I have promoted it on the internet on eczema discussion boards, because I know how soul destroying eczema can be, and if this just helps one person, it will be worth it."

"November 6, 2008: I have been using the original Skin MD Natural formula and it works well for the eczema that I have on my legs, relieves itching instantly, eliminates redness within 3 to 5 days and the irritation (raised patches of skin) becomes smoother and healthy looking. I have also used it on my face, especially on the forehead where the skin is flaky and wrinkles start getting deep. The flakiness is gone in as little as a single day's use and the overall look of the skin very much improved.
While the original formula worked wonders on my eczema and face, it was unable to fully beat the dry skin (actually "alligator skin") on my left elbow. Then I started using the new SPF15 formula, which has a thicker consistency. After just 3 applications the cracks on my elbow closed and the redness was gone. My elbow now has healthy skin that doesn't ache, is not red or cracked or inflamed. The skin is still a bit thicker than the skin on my other elbow and has several dry skin flakes on the surface but it seems to be getting better from the inside out. I will continue using it and let you know of the progress.
November 20, 2008: In just 2 weeks of use of applying it only once a day the skin on my left elbow became absolutely normal. Hurray!
I wear a rhodium bracelet and got severe burning and itching immediately after I put it on. I have been told that rhodium is a so-called "white gold" and does not cause allergic reactions but I do have an allergy to this metal. Out of curiosity I covered my wrist with SMDN before putting the bracelet on and it felt absolutely normal. This lotion has proven its effectiveness once again."

"Due to the job-related stress (I am a middle school English teacher) my psoriasis flared up and nothing could control it. I would find blood on papers I was passing out, and my fingers would split so badly I couldn't type. For the last two years I have tried every lotion I could, and some very strong psoriasis prescription creams. I have used lotions, creams, Vaseline, aloe vera, pure lanolin, vitamin E, gab balm, Neosporin, anything and everything. Nothing could control it. My skin does not produce enough oils to keep it supple, so it splits.
Then my doctor gave me your product to treat my psoriasis. I used it twice a day for three days and my hands healed! I ordered a gallon of it from you. The shielding lotion seals my skin so that what little oil my skin produces is not lost. Unlike lotions, which cannot penetrate to the lower skin layers, MY OWN OIL is healing my skin. What can be a more natural lotion than the oils MY BODY produces?
This is an excellent product, thank you!"
Will Greenleaf, UK
"I developed an overactive thyroid in 1990 and the skin on my shins and my feet became thick, dry and itchy.
I have tried every lotion available for dry skin treatment, to no avail. I often scratched my legs till they bled. Then I found Skin MD Natural. What a relief! My skin is no longer red and itchy all the time.
While I know that there is no medical cure for this condition, with Skin MD my skin is not red, dry and itchy anymore."
Sally F.
"I gave Skin MD Natural a few days to see the effects and I am happy to say it has really improved the health of my skin. I wasn't quite sure what to expect - I thought the effect would be immediate so I wasn't sure if it was going to work as it is very light on application. However, I started noticing a real difference after about a week."
I have had eczema behind my knees and elbows for as long as I can remember and this is the first lotion I have used that takes away the itch so that the skin feels normal. Cortisone can also take the itch away but my skin doesn't feel normal if I use that stuff. Thats impressive.
Also, I do a lot of sport. I was in Thailand doing kickboxing training this year and all the sweat and the heat seemed to break down the skin barrier on my face. After I returned home the cold weather made the skin on my face flake terribly. It was really bad, I was beginning to worry about it ever getting back to normal as it hurt and flaked every morning after I showered.
But I am happy to say the lotion fixed that also, which means I can get back into the gym and I am very happy about this

"I have atopic eczema which has been troubling me for more than 10 years now and hence I was more than eager to try Skin MD Natural, moreover it contains none of those questionable ingredients so I knew I had try this lotion.
Just 5 minutes after appplying the Skin MD Natural lotion, I noticed a significant difference as the itchness and redness were greatly reduced! Throughout the 8-week period since I've started using it, my skin condition has improved.
The lotion is non-greasy, even textured, and is very gentle on my dry skin. My skin now feels soft and moisturized.
What a fantastic product!"
Ed Ang
"Your lotion is amazing - I have a nickel allergy and putting this on before playing my guitar has completely blocked the reaction from occuring.
Also, my 4 year old daughter has excema on her wrists. We've been using a small amount of Skin MD on her wrists at night for a week and it's much much better. Not all raw looking like it has been for the last few years! That's some great lotion!"
Gary Wertman
"I ordered Skin MD last year and I have to say it certainly is more effective than any other type of lotion I have tried in the past.
I work in a very dusty archive room in the British Library. My eczema is very reactive to dust and it was hell until I started putting on Skin MD. My skin felt more secure and I had less itchy outbreaks. The eczema is bad around my neck and face and it's hard to cover those areas in day to day life. Even though my eczema stems internally, at least I have good knowledge knowing that my skin is being looked after externally. Having the lotion on felt like a secure blanket over those areas and my day goes smoothly without any or very mild irritations.
I have ordered two more bottles to last me for a longer period so that my skin can heal longer and faster without any missed days of putting on the lotion. Thanks to all the guys at Skin MD Natural!!"

"I LOVE Skin MD. I had this strange dry skin rash on my right collar bone that would not go away. I went to a dermatologist who gave me a cortisone cream, which actually seemed to make it spread. The rash didn't hurt, but it was unsightly. I used Skin MD on it for about two months and it's finally gone! Permanently! I've told EVERYONE about it."

"This is truly a great product. If you have dry itchy skin from any kind of medical condition, or just want softer, healthier skin, get your hands on some Skin MD, you will not be disappointed at all."
Kat Cooper
"My hands have always been very dry, especially in winter. Every winter they split and crack and are very painful. I've tried many creams and lotions in the past and none have really worked. They would make my hands feel better for a while, but didn't stop them from drying out and splitting. This product is fantastic. It goes on smooth as silk, absorbs in nicely and works. After using for a month, my hands are softer than they have ever been. They have not split once this winter. I would recommend this product to anyone with dry skin."
Bonnie Gruemken, Pitttsburgh, PA
"I use the Skin MD with SPF 15 as a scalp block. The lotion dries quickly, isn't greasy and is waterproof. Excellent sun protection for us baldies!"
