Eczema
Eczema is a general term for any superficial inflammatory process involving the epidermis primarily, marked early by redness, itching, minute papules and vesicles, weeping, oozing and crusting, and later by scaling, lichenification and often pigmentation. The word eczema comes from the Greek word “ekzein” meaning to effervesce, or bubble, or boil over. It is a form of dermatitis and can be used widely to describe any rash-like skin conditions. It is usually used specifically to refer to the most common type of these skin conditions: atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that commonly starts during infancy and continues through into childhood. Some people outgrow the condition while some people will continue to have it into adulthood. It can disappear for years and then reappear as an outbreak when the conditions are right.
Eczema is a chronic problem for 35 million Americans, and at least 17.8 million of those consider their eczema or atopic dermatitis moderate to severe. The prevalence of childhood eczema / atopic dermatitis in the US is 10.7% overall and as high as 18.1% in individual states and 21% across various countries. Approximately one out of every three children with eczema / atopic dermatitis has moderate to severe disease, and about 60% of infants who have eczema continue to have one or more symptoms in adulthood.
Symptoms of Eczema
Eczema may be a different experience for each person. It may even look different or affect different parts of the body from time to time. The rash can be mild, moderate, or severe. Generally, people with eczema suffer from dry, sensitive skin. Eczema is also known for its intense itch. The itch may be so bad that a person will scratch their skin until it bleeds, which can make the rash even worse, leading to even more inflammation, more itching and scarring. This is called the itch-scratch cycle.
Factors Influencing Eczema
The specific cause of eczema remains unknown, but it is believed to develop due to a combination of hereditary and environmental factors that are known to bring out the symptoms of eczema. The most common contributors are:
- Irritants: soaps, detergents, shampoos, disinfectants, juices from fresh fruits, meats or vegetables
- Allergens: dust mites, pets, pollens, mold, dandruff
- Stress: it is not a cause of eczema but can make symptoms worse
- Hot and cold temperatures: hot weather, high and low humidity, perspiration from exercise
- Foods: dairy products, eggs, nuts and seeds, soy products, wheat
- Hormones: women can experience worsening of eczema symptoms at times when their hormone levels are changing, for example during pregnancy and at certain points in their menstrual cycle
- Microbes: bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, viruses, certain fungi
It is helpful to be aware of those that make you more sensitive to eczema and remove them from your environment.
NeoGenesis Products for Eczema
NeoGenesis products contain the patented S²RM® molecules that naturally infuse nutrient rich molecules to the skin. By providing the best climate for healing, calming and hydrating the skin, areas of irritation are reduced, allowing the symptoms of eczema to subside.
Topical application of our advanced product Recovery, abundant in S²RM® molecules, will help soothe the skin and help to break the itch-scratch cycle. Begin by gently cleansing with NeoGenesis Cleanser. Apply Recovery serum to the cleansed skin and follow with our Body Cream or Barrier Renewal Cream. Apply as often as needed to calm the skin. Use Recovery, on cleansed skin twice daily, until the skin is healed. Recovery can be used on all areas of the body, including around the eyes. When combined with reducing environmental triggers, NeoGenesis can aid in the management of eczema.
For ongoing comfort and to reduce the chances of the eczema reappearing, transition over to the use of NeoGenesis Skin Serum once or twice daily, followed by the application of Intensive Moisturizer, Body Cream or Barrier Renewal Cream. The S²RM® technology found in Skin Serum, Intensive Moisturizer and Body Cream will continue to naturally feed nutrients into the skin. This creates healthy layers within the skin and a stronger, improved skin barrier. The healthier and stronger the skin is, the less chance of flareups recurring from eczema.
Reviews:
“My 12 year old son has suffered from Eczema all his life and the last outbreak he had lasted for over a year.
Recently, I saw the symptoms coming back around his mouth and I applied NeoGenesis Recovery and Intensive Moisturizer at night while he was sleeping. After four days it went down and was gone.” ~ LLS

“I received the Cleanser, Skin Serum, and Barrier Renewal Cream yesterday. I used them last night and again this morning on my hands and I am in love! I currently have active eczema on one hand and with all this hand washing and sanitizing lately it started to spread. After just two applications of the three products, my skin calmed down completely. I wish now that I would have taken pictures so you could see how far my hands have come in one day. Your products are amazing!” ~ AL

“COVID-19 preventative measures are very important but the constant hand washing is wreaking havoc on my family’s skin. My teenage son had an eczema outbreak. The Cleanser, Skin Serum and Barrier Renewal Cream helped his skin to start functioning normal again.
On the left, you can see the scaling and flaking and the picture on the right is 24 hours later using the NeoGenesis products. Significant reduction in scaling, flaking, and irritation.
So excited to see the results.” ~ BC – Hue Beauty Studio

“I started getting Eczema on my elbows during the winter months a few years ago. I tried a variety of different lotions and prescriptions, most didn’t help, and the outbreaks would last an extended period of time. At the end of the summer this year, I had another outbreak, and all the different lotions I tried didn’t help at all. I received a bottle of Recovery and used it 3-4 times per day, and the Eczema was completely gone in 2 DAYS! Best of all, the Eczema has not returned.
Thank you for this amazing product!” ~ JF

“I have suffered for over 20 years with a leg rash that was eventually diagnosed as eczema. I thought for sure I would never be able to wear shorts or a dress. I tried everything that was available, from Dr’s RX’s to professional Spa products with no change or effect. But after finding and using the NeoGenesis Recovery Serum for only 2 months, it has disappeared (and stayed gone now for 5 months). No more red, no more itch and now I am only dealing with some leftover hyper pigmentation.
LOVE it! Cannot say enough wonderful things about this serum!! It has literally changed my quality of life!” ~ BK

“I am so amazed at how well your Recovery product worked on my rash, that I had to write and let you know. Approximately 2 weeks ago I noticed an Eczema looking rash on my forearm at bedtime. I have never suffered from any type of traumatic skin condition before, so I figured it was from something I had come in contact with during the day and it would go away by morning. I put my regular moisturizer on it and went to bed. The following morning it was red and inflamed and very tender to the touch. I was a bit concerned, but figured I would try a few other things before calling my Doctor. I had been using your skin care products on my face, so thought I would try them. I put some Recovery on, then followed that with some of your Intensive Moisturizer. Within a few minutes I did not have that burning feeling, and the tenderness had subsided. I continued to apply both products morning and evening for the next 2 days and the rash went away completely. I have no idea what it was, but know for sure that, if it was not for your products I would have ended up at my doctors office, which is something I try to avoid. Thank you so much for these incredible products, I just love the way my skin looks and feels!” ~ KB

“I use the Body Cream after Recovery when I have Eczema flare-ups and the results are unbelievable. Not only does it clear up within 2 days, but my Eczema rarely comes back now. So not only does it help with the immediate flare-up, but my skin is now healthier. Thanks so much. So grateful to have found these products.” ~ JF

“I have had Eczema on my knees for 5 years. I have tried topical steroid creams from the doctors, but it always comes back shortly after I stop using the cream. I started using NeoGenesis Recovery Serum twice a day and within 2 weeks it was completely cleared up. I was amazed at how fast it happened. Now I apply Recovery twice a week and I am going on 10 months of my knees being completely clear. I love this stuff!” ~ DC
