Hi Stephen,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention; I am sorry to hear that you have had this experience with Dermalex Eczema Treatment Cream.
Please be reassured that as a fully regulated UK online pharmacy, we use the same wholesalers as the main high street chains and take reports of this nature very seriously.
I have escalated your feedback to our clinical team and they have advised that the two main ways of treating Eczema are; using strong steroids twice a day for 7-10 days or using a long-term emollient treatment to prevent reoccurrence.
The Dermalex Eczema cream is a long-term preventative treatment that will help restore the moisture in your skin, however, it does not work in the same way as a strong steroid would for relief from an acute flare-up.
We have reached out to you directly to provide further guidance and look forward to hearing from you.
