The eczema lotion from the brand Curel is a hidden gem in a world of the skin care for individuals who suffer from skin conditions that require a lot of specialty. This lotion is the perfect balance of moisture and skin building agents that will help skin, eventually, experience less symptoms of their ailment. Curel started off in 1976 as a research project on the structure of skin, the research was held in Kao a Japanese research institution. By 1999, the first Curel products are launched after Japanese researchers discover that eucalyptus leaves are enhancers for skin to produce ceramides. The production of ceramides in the skin is essential for everyone but, in the case of individuals with certain skin conditions such as, eczema

Curel is special because it is ceramide therapy, this lotion helps the skin build up this layer that it is missing. Overtime the skin will eventually stop breaking out or drying out in certain spots that are usually hot spots for eczema. Unlike other lotions, Curel trains the skin to retain moisture, brands like Aveeno, CeraVe, Nieva and Eucerin do not help build up barrier they only provide relief. That is the biggest problem with these lotions, they do not give skin adequate ammo to repair itself, just sufficient to get rid of a flare up that you will have again, eventually. Soon enough that lotion will not prevent the flare up anymore and you will find yourself looking for a new product to use. Compared to other products Curel is a fair price, in store Aveeno, Eucerin, and CeraVe would run you $10-12 for a 7oz-12oz bottle which makes no sense when they do not work very well, you are forced to use a moisturizer on top of these products because just the lotion alone is not cutting it. Then you have to be careful because mixing products can cause allergic reaction or make matters worse, you end up spending more than needed. Nieva is a fair price, $6-7 some places, the issue with Nieva is the fact that it is not thick enough, it does get into the skin but once it is engrossed in the skin that is

Various treatments may be used for months or years because eczema can be very persistent. There are creams and ointments that help calm the itching and irritation to help repair the skin, which could also be prescribed by your doctor. Drugs prescribed by your doctor could also be for infections caused by open sores or cracks. There are also oral drugs prescribed to help calm the inflammation for severe cases. Wet dressings may also be necessary when the eczema is severe. This involves wrapping the affected area with topical corticosteroids and wet bandages, usually done in a hospital. If the treatment is successful, it could still be possible that it may return. Light therapy would be needed to stop it from coming back. This involves exposing the skin to controlled amounts of natural sunlight, but it has harmful effects that could cause premature skin aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. Therapies like these are important to be spoken about with your doctor if it is what's best, especially if it's for younger children since it is riskier.
The first known use of dermatology was established in 1819 and only in the 1930’s did its practice become more widely accomplished, known and sought after. (“Dermatology” 2014) Since then it has extensively evolved and changed and been able to provide services for women and men around the world. Originally being a part of the medicine field can now be considered a division of the beauty industry due to availability of services and treatments for aesthetic, pampering purposes, rather than just originally founded for medical issues of resolving skin disorders and diseases. Dermatology being defined as ‘a branch of medicine dealing with the skin, its structure, functions and diseases’ (“Dermatology” 2014) now offers many professions one being a dermatologist, whic...

Voegeli D; British Journal of Nursing (BJN), 2010 Jul 8; 19 (13): 810, 812, 814 Care or harm: exploring essential components in skin care regimens.
At the end of 60’s, there were a number of changes in the market and trade structure. A number of financially strong companies brought out new brands of cream and differentiated skincare ranges.
Simple household items such as lotions, shampoos and cosmetics aren’t very expensive and are within reach for the public, yet the public is not knowledgeable of the fact that the products that they use everyday are put through a series of tests which involve the use of harmless animals. Several large commercial companies do not make products for animals; they decide that using these harmless creatures for the testing of their products, could be cause to be harmful to animals still go forward with these types of procedures on an everyday basis. Although these animals are unable to defend themselves or signs of any form of consent for the near death procedures, these companies find this as a cheap solution for testing their products before placing them on the market. There are many other alternatives to testing animals such as embryonic stem cell research. Animal experimentation is wrong and it can be avoided but companies which are greedy for money chose not to.
It still comes as a surprise to me that with all the technology in today’s society, we are still relying on animals for cosmetic research. Some people think that it is acceptable and even justified to test on mere animals rather than risk hurting people. So, for these kinds of people, animal testing makes perfect sense. However, in my opinion, animals are living creatures and have the right to live out their lives as nature intended rather than simply surviving in cages while being poked and prodded with whatever scientists fancy. I think it is depressing and sort of grotesque that I am using products that have been tested on animals that are even commonly bred as our pets. So, I began my research to find out what companies still test on animals, why they do so, and what other alternatives they could use in place of animal testing.
