EZEQUE Skin Therapy for Dry, Itching and Sensitive Skin

Count yourself LUCKY if you or your precious little ones are not suffering from dry and sensitive skins. Be more sensitive with words you use when you encounter someone who is scratching all the way because non-intentional words hurts and it can ruin ANY person's self-esteem.

I am talking on behalf of all stressed-up mommies whose little ones are suffering from eczema. Being one of them, I empathize the helplessness when we watch them scratch till their skin bleeds. Other than trying our very best to rid of any allergens that may cause any adverse reaction to their skin, the other task that all of us consistently do is to moisturize their skin every few hours with whatever lotions that is best in our knowledge. We used to indulge in the best skincare on our faces, and now we spent almost every cent to get the best lotions and creams that is said to be good for eczema skin.

We know that every single thing that comes into contact with their skin, like body wash, shampoo, lotions and even apparels, if not selected with great care, may cause their eczema to flare up. However, most of us, still will give that new product a TRY - because "...everything I do (try), I do (try) it for you (our children)".

Same for me, I have tried everything that I have heard (that is good) - from off-the-shelves to expensive ones from dermatologists, from applying fresh aloe vera to feeding her with pure cedar nut oil, from switching her entire diet to ONLY-organic stuffs. One simple fact I know and am praying very very hard is that 'eczema is for life, and most of the time it will be outgrown as the child grows older' (crossing my fingers!). But before that miracle day comes, I will never stop doing my homework - to find the one product that will help her relief her itch and moisturize her skin MINUS the oily-feel.

Of all the creams and lotions that I have applied on Alexia's skin, Physiogel A1 range is what I would strongly recommend. The creams and lotions have anti-itch effect, and it keeps the skin moisturize well. However, it doesn't pass me off totally because of the oily-feel from the cream and the other point is - A1 range is not sold in pharmacies,  I got mine from their PD at United Sq and I understand that only PDs and hospitals carry it.. and so, my search continues...

As the saying goes: It is always good to keep an open eye! Terence from SEC called and told me that a new product is on the way and we can try it for Alexia. His description on 'Non-steroid' and 'Itch Relief' attracted me. Well-known for his good service, Terence passed me the samples the very next day, just the right time as Alexia was having a flare up.

The set came in 2 bottles, a Mist Spray and Moisturizing Cream.
SEC Mist Spray
The function of the mist spray is to soothe and relieve itchiness fast, which prevent and stop the scratching. In addition, the formulation works to moisturize and hydrate the skin from inside out. The spray has anti-septic ingredients, hence it is great for open wounds too (*there will be a mild stingy sensation when sprayed on open wounds)

SEC Cream


The function of the cream is to seal and block off foreign particles from entering the skin. It prevents loss of water and moisture from the skin by covering the skin's surface, closing the cracks and enhances the skin barrier.

I tried this combination and am really satisfied with the results as it does relieve her skin's itch almost instantly and her skin was moisturize without the oily-feel! Of course, the most important factor for me is that it is Steroid free and Paraben free! It is so compact that I can bring it out wherever I go!

I tested it on her elbow and the back of her thigh and below are some pictures which I have taken over a duration of 3-5 days.

(elbow) Day 1
(elbow) Day 2

(elbow) Day 3
(elbow) Day 4 - Inflammation reduced and skin repaired!


(back of thigh) Day 1

(back of thigh) Day 2
(back of thigh) Day 3 - Inflammation cleared!




Today, many of us go for Paraben-FREE and Sulfate-FREE products because of the harmful chemicals that can affect our health and skin. We also know that too much steroids will cause thinning of the skin and therefore we try our very best to reduce the use of it; unless necessary.

If you, your little ones, or even anyone you know of, is suffering from eczema, you may want to share this with them ~ Your sharing may change a person's life!
