Woman bedbound by eczema finds 'miracle' in £9 cream which clears skin overnight

A call centre operator plagued by such virulent eczema she was left balding, bedbound and slept in a balaclava to stop her oozing face from sticking to the pillow says a “life-changing” £9 cream cleared her skin “overnight.”

While Kimberley Reardon, 30, suffered with mild baby eczema until she was three-years-old, it did not flare-up again until her teens. But it was when she reached her 20s her catastrophic problems began and she was covered from head-to-toe in red raw patches of the dry, flaking skin condition.

For the next decade, her eczema frequently developed into painful, weeping sores. These saw Kimberley trying numerous steroid creams, which would work briefly, only for the angry condition to return with such vigour she would be unable to move without her skin weeping or peeling.
