Eczema care sits at our very core, forming our foundations in 1987 when our Founder, Dr. Mazin, opened our Avicenna Skin Clinic and was asked to assist in dermatological trials for people with severe atopic eczema.
…His Chinese herbal topical’s remarkable, steroid-free results proved more than pioneering and Dermatology M was born.
Since then, thousands of clinical and website customers have declared our “miracle creams” have changed their lives; soothing eczema symptoms and transforming dry, scaly, red or cracked skin when no other product (including GP-prescribed topicals) had before.
While we passionately believe in the benefits of our specialised range, we wanted to give further reassurance beyond reviews, so arranged for independent trials of two hero topicals — Soothing Cream and Soothing Fingertip Ointment. Did these studies prove their game-changing power? It was never in doubt…
Soothing Cream
51 independent consumer testers with dry, red, itchy (inflamed) types of eczema were asked to use Soothing Cream 3–5 times a day for 12 weeks. At the end of the trial period:
- 84% said itching & dryness had reduced
- 86% said it cooled sensitive skin
- 82% said redness had visibly reduced
- 82% said skin felt intensely calmed
- 80% said scales had visibly reduced
Daily protection and comfort, 91% natural and steroid-free
Importantly, 90% confirmed they experienced zero irritation using Soothing Cream. In fact, 82% said their skin felt protected using it.
“I've lived with eczema off & on my entire life & have tried various remedies. None worked. This instantly calms irritation. Within 2 days, the eczema healed & hasn't come back.” — Jan
“Unbelievable. My son was in a desperate way with eczema on his face and neck. Within 24 hours of using this, his skin was calm, redness and flakiness had gone.” — Sari
Soothing Fingertip Ointment
Across 12 weeks, 51 independent testers with fissured, cracked or chapped forms of eczema on their fingers or hands were asked to use Soothing Fingertip Ointment 2–3 times a day or overnight. At the end of the trial period:
- 86% said cracks, fissures & dryness had visibly reduced
- 88% said it instantly soothed skin
- 88% experienced smoother-looking skin
- 84% said skin felt deeply nourished
- 82% said skin felt significantly more comfortable
A 100% natural, steroid-free game-changer
Like Soothing Cream, 92% of testers experienced zero irritation using Soothing Fingertip Ointment, commenting on how gentle it was for daily use.
“Incredible. I've been battling bad finger eczema since the late 1990s. I ruined my skin with very strong steroids. With this, my skin is able to recover — a massive quality of life improvement.” — Tom
“Incredible. I have medicated creams from the doctor which haven’t resolved my very painful fingertips. This is a miracle — the pain has gone and the red, broken skin is starting to heal.” — Veronica
Naturally pioneering
“Chinese Herbal Medicine has so much to offer modern-day problematic skin — studies like these now prove its incredible benefits and bring hope to those with eczema that they can manage their condition steroid-free.” — Dr Mazin, our Founder
