Triple Cream, Triple Paste, and Triple Wash Review.

Ok to start with, these products were sent to me free of charge to test and review. This in NO way effects my opinions on the products!

Triple Cream for eczema prices varied between $8-$14.

Ok, I will start with Triple Cream first. The company sent me a few sample size tubes of the Triple Cream, which is defined as the premium dry skin and eczema formula. I found that the sample size tubes are perfect size for my little man, Chandler, to carry in his pocket so that when he starts to feel itchy, he can take it out and apply a little bit of the cream on himself. We have been using this as an in between treatments moisturizer. This cream seems to work very nicely to relieve itchiness in-between treatments. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for relief of itchiness. 


Triple Paste for diaper rash prices vary.

 
Now for Triple Paste Medicated Ointment for diaper rash, the company sent me a few sample size tubes of this product. It is defined as The premium diaper rash treatment. It has a thick texture which makes it easy to coat babies bottom and create a barrier to keep out moisture from wet or dirty diapers. I have used this product a few times on my baby boy Seth. It has proved to be a very good diaper rash cream. I would recommend it to anyone who has a child in diapers.

 
Now for Triple Wash, it is a gentle diaper rash formula baby wash. It is a gentle tear free formula, I use it for Chandler's baths also, it is gental enough to not irritate his skin. I add it directly to the water which creates bubbles in the tub, which makes Chandler happy! He loves bubble baths, but most bath products cause his eczema to flair up. So we now have a safe bubble bath for him. I also use the wash for Seth, who recently had a case of diarrhea which caused him to have a rash. The wash was gentle and soothing on his sore bum. It also has a pleasant scent. This was the only full size product that the company sent me. I am very pleased with this product! I would without a doubt recommend this product to all who either have a baby prone to diaper rash or a child with sensitive skin.  
 
 
 

Review on Remarlé ® LLC Skin Scrub for SEVERELY DRY SKIN, and Skin Moisturizing Shea Butter Cre'me.

This is the companies slogan/image.
 
Well to start off with, I received both of these products free of charge from the Remarlé ® LLC company to test and review. This in NO effects my honest review on the products! In fact, the owner of Remarle, Renee LeMasney, was uncertain about the ethical value of giving free products for reviews. I assured her that in NO way would it effect my honest opinion on the products. This was honestly the first time anyone had ever questioned this, which shows that this woman has values and moral!
This Is the Skin Scrub 4 oz container it is 19.99 for 8 oz.
 
  • Anyway on to my review. The Skin Scrub for SEVERELY DRY SKIN, is described as an exfoliant and moisturizer for dry, flaky, scaly, sensitive skin. It is recommended for those with Eczema and Psoriasis. It has no additives, chemicals, fragrances, parabens, or preservatives. The ingrediants list is:
  • Premium Pure Cane Sugar
  • Proprietary Blend of:
  • Prunus Armeniaca (apricot) Kernel Oil
  • Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower Oil)
  • Brassica Napus (Canola Oil)
  • Tocopherol (vitamin E)
The Directions for the product are as follows,
Gently massage into wet skin anywhere on the body. Rinse off and dry.
Pretty simple and strait forward!
There is a Caution warning underneath:
Natural oils may cause tub or shower surfaces to become slippery; exercise caution to avoid falling.
 
It then suggests that after use you should apply the Shea Butter Crème.
 
I have been using the Skin Scrub on Chandler for about a week now, I have also been using a few other products that I previously reviewed, I wanted to do a review using only the Remarlé products, but the others are really seeming to work for him and I didn't want to risk his skin by not using the other products, so I added the scrub and the shea butter to his routine. I really do not have any thing negative to say about the skin scrub, It seems to do a good job of removing the dead, dry, damaged skin. leaving fresh skin for the other moisturizers to work on. I would recommend the skin scrub over and over again!
 
This is the Shea Butter Crème 2 oz $18.99
 
 
Now for the Skin Moisturizing Shea Butter Crème, it is described as For the Body, Lips, Elbows, Feet, Eyes, and Face. No additives, chemicals, fragrances, parabens, or preservatives. The ingrediants list is as follows: Proprietary blend of:
  • Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)
  • Prunus Armeniaca (apricot) Kernel Oil
  • Carthamus Tinctorius (safflower Oil)
  • Brassica Napus (Canola Oil)
  • Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
The Directions for the Shea Butter Crème is:
Massage into skin anywhere on the body.
That shouldn't be too hard to figure out!
There is also a Caution on this container:
The American Shea Butter Institute recommends that you avoid using any shea butter products if you have nut allergies.
I had never even thought of that, good info. I do not have any nut allergies though, and neither do my children. But you never know.
 
I really didn't notice too much of a difference between this Shea Butter Crème and other Shea Butter Creams that I have used in the past. I used it a few times on Chandler, after using the Skin Scrub, but was not overly impressed with it. Not that it is bad, which it in no way is, it just didn't stand out any more than other shea butter creams I have used. And I decided that the After Shower Clear Lotion from a previous review was a better choice for applying after the Skin Scrub. I have been using the Shea Butter Crème on my own Elbows though, and it does seem to be softening them. I really wouldn't recommend this product much more than any other average Shea Butter Cream. But I would not totally banish this product either. It is a good moisturizer(Shea Butter is very good for moisturizing) I just can't pinpoint anything that sets it above the rest of the Shea Butters.
 
As for the Remarlé ® LLC company as a whole, I am very impressed, the owner Renee LeMasney, has great character and shows honesty. The packaging of the products is simple but effective, which shows me that they are more interested in what they put inside their jars than what it appears like on the outside. They have great customer service, Renee personally answered my request for reviewing her products. She has also followed up, inquiring how the products were working for Chan, which shows me that she actually cares. I would most highly recommend doing business with the   Remarlé company, and I am looking forward to trying some of the other products they have to offer in the future.
 
These Products and others can be purchased at the Remarele website.

Theraplex- Clear Lotion and Emolliant

Theraplex has a whole line of skin care products, a few of which are part of the National Eczema Association(NEA). I found Theraplex while skimming through the list of NEA approved medicines, looking for something that could help my son chandler's severe eczema. He has had eczema since he was about 2 weeks old. The poor little man has never really known what it's like to not be itchy. We have tried everything to try to relieve his symptoms, but have not had any luck. Doctors just say to use hydrocortisone cream and A&D ointment, which never really worked well. The rash would fade a little for a while, but would soon be back. We have bought so many over the counter creams, and remedies, have tried oatmeal baths, ACV baths just about everything that we could think of or that anyone advised. No Luck!! But when I wrote to Theraplex and they responded saying that they would be happy to have Chandler test out some of their products, It was a relief, a company who is backed by the NEA must be pretty good! And it turns out that they are! Theraplex sent me 2 full size products and a few sample packets of products. One of the full size products is called Theraplex Clear Lotion, it is for use just out of the bath or shower to replace the moisture that soaps can strip away, it is used before towel drying to  allow the skin to absorb moisture. It says on the bottle that it is a liquid petroleum formula. The list of ingredients for the clear lotion is:
  • mineral oil
  • cyclomethicone ( Cyclomethicone is a clear, odorless silicone)
  • jojoba oil
  • petroleum(special fraction)
I have been religiously using the clear lotion on Chandler's skin after every bath for the past 2 weeks. As soon as he steps out I apply it to his whole body and let it set for about 30 seconds before toweling him off. I then spray a coating of a product from another company (CapriClear) on the spots that have rashes on them. Then I follow up with the other full size product they sent which is called Theraplex Emollient, it contains the highest concentration of special petrolatum fraction for maximum effectiveness with out irritation to the skin. This product is a very thick jelly type substance, so it does not wash off easily and can be a little bit messy. Best to use only on trouble spots and apply a thin layer. It does work really well to hold in moisture and to soften dry skin. Chandler's skin has had quite a bit of improvement in the past 2 weeks. I am a true fan of Theraplex! I am sure that Chandler is too. I have yet to use any of the small sample packs they sent, but when I do I will post an update. I strongly urge anyone with problematic skin conditions to try these products. I am certain that I will be placing an order when I get low on these. You can find the full list of Theraplex products on their site http://www.theraplex.com/ .


Above is the Emollient. They have a 4.3 oz for $21 or an 8 oz for $35. Seems pricey, but a little bit goes a long way.

 
This is the bottle of clear lotion. It is an 8 oz bottle for $18.50.
Yes they are a bit expensive, I probably would have never tried them out if they had not been sent to me free, but I know now that they work on my little mans skin so it's worth the money to me.
 
***********
These products were sent to me free of charge to test out and review. The fact that they were given to me has NO affect on my opinions of the product. My opinions are 100% truth of how I feel about the products.


CapriClear Spray Review

 

CapriClear has the seal of approval from NEA.

CapriClear spray on moisturizer is an all natural, unscented, hypoallergenic spray to relieve dry skin. I happened upon finding CapriClear while searching for products to help my son Chandler's eczema that he has been plagued with since he was just a tiny baby. He just turned 4 this past Monday, his twin sister Abigale does not have any skin issues at all.  They will be having their 4th birthday party this coming weekend, this may be the first birthday where we can take pictures of our little boy without major rashes all over. I don't know if any of you have an itchy, scratchy, rash covered child, but it makes a mother so happy to see that something is helping to relieve his constant digging and scratching at his skin. He seems happier, his whole attitude is changing. I ended up finding CapriClear on the National Eczema Association web site. They are on the list of medicines approved to help Eczema. I did not use CapriClear alone, I had also written to every other company on the list of eczema medicines and another company had responded to me around the same time. Both companies products arrived in the mail on the same day, so I incorporated them both into his routine. I will also be reviewing the other product in a separate post but the product brand name is Theraplex. I would use CapriClear in between applications of the other product, It really seems to help keep in moisture and prevent his skin from drying out. It is made from coconut oil, but they use some kind of technique to remove certain parts of the oil and then you are left with what they call fractionated coconut oil, and that is the only ingredient in the product. I was thinking that it was going to leave his skin all oily and sticky, but that was not the case. It absorbs pretty quickly leaving the skin softer and no oily residue. I also used a little bit on Seth when he was starting to get a little bit of diaper rash, and it seemed to help with that too. So if you are looking for something to help relieve dry, flakey, itchy skin then I would suggest that you add CapriClear to your daily routine.  It comes in 2 sizes the 5.4 oz for $16.99 and the travel size 1.6 oz for $6.99.  It may seem a little steep for a skin product, but I believe that it is well worth it! you can order it here http://www.capriclear.com/home.asp 

This is what the bottle looks like.


This product was shipped to me for free to test out and review. This in NO way has affected my opinions on the product, my review is my honest opinions and thoughts on the product.

Now is the time for my first giveaway!! Good Luck!!
