The skincare routine that cleared my facial eczema
This post contains gifted items and affiliate links – however I have not received payment to talk about any of the products mentioned. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
Clear skin. The dream. The absolute dream when you’re plagued with skin that is anything but. Whether it’s acne, redness, allergies, or my own personal nemesis: eczema, it can seem like a far off reality when you’re in the midst of a really bad flare up. Which was basically me for half of last year. But I managed to clear up my facial eczema, and I want to share how I did that with you.
Loveeeeeee this is super helpful! Definitely going to have a rethink of my skincare routine after this!!
Ah thank you darlin!! It def made me think more carefully about choosing ingredients and making sure I was working with my skin rather than against it!
This is definitely going to make me step up my skin care routine with some of your product suggestions. Thank you!
You’re welcome!! 🙂 I hope some of these products work really well for you <3
I have to be really careful about what I put on my skin too 🙁 Fortunately I’ve not had any problems with my face since high school… I just get it on my hands and elbows now but I get so annoyed whenever doctors suggest a new cream because I know straight off that it won’t work and will end up making it worse! I only use completely natural soaps/skincare products now… I have a pot of hand soap at work and get super angry when other people use it… it costs a fortune and they can use the normal soap without a problem so quit using mine!!!
Oh I can imagine the anger at other people using your hand soap! I’d get so frustrated T^T
Mine mostly manifests on my hands (sometimes calves and behind the knee) very rarely on my face but when it does it stays around for a while :((
Thankfully a lot of skincare products in Korea have skin healing ingredients that are really beneficial 🙂 so I don’t have to rely on steroid creams as much.
Thank you so much for sharing your eczema journey! I get really bad eczema in the winter but it’s gradually creeping into the summer months, too, which is why I’m desperate to start a skincare routine!
Ahh you’re welcome!! Mine is still very present on my hands and I’m trying to find a way to manage that… hopefully yours will clear up soon!! <3
Hi does it stings when you apply the goodal moisturiser? Ive heard that it has fragrance in it as well
It stung a little in the worst affected areas, but the concentration of vitamin C for the goodal cream is quite high. There is a slight citrus smell but it’s not overwhelming and didn’t further irritate my skin 🙂 Everyone’s skin is different, so if it burns then I’d recommend discontinuing use and going to see a doctor 🙂
Thanks for sharing..
I’ve been suffering really bad eczema on my hands ever since Covid happened with the increased use of hand sanitisers and frequent hand washing. Now I am experiencing a flare up on my face and is giving me really bad self esteem. I’m so happy I found your story and felt immediately comforted by our shared experience. Thank you so much for sharing this journey and the information you provided is super helpful and I will be applying some of your suggestions to my routine in order to wean off my reliance on steroid creams.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been suffering too. I really really swear by the aPieu madecassoside cream. Honestly it’s the best for me, i hope that some of these products have been useful for you!
Hi there! I just found this blog and I really appreciate all the details 😊 Did they reformulate, discontinue or rebrand these Goodal products? I can’t seem to find them anywhere. Thank you in advance!
They have since discontinued some of the Vita-C line since this post so I will be posting an updated version! 🙂
