Ego QV Cream

Recommended by both child health nurse and pharmacist for some spots on babies cheeks. Unfortunately this left a very nasty, red rash within a few hours of application. Care needed with this product.

At my son's 4 month checkup, I mentioned he had a few spots of eczema. Doctor prescribed steroid cream for if it got worse and recommended using QV to keep him moisturised. His skin continually got worse. I was alternating between QV and some stuff from the health food shop. The cream from the health food shop was running low so for I was just using QV and his skin was so red. Trying to relieve the redness my partner smothered him in QV within minutes everywhere the QV had touched was red roar. He was so irritated, crying, trying to scratch his skin. We quickly washed him off and found some cream his older sister had used, which gave him some relief. Definitely do not recommend

I've been using QV cream for some time now and absolutely love this product. I have dry and sensitive skin on my face and normal skin on my body and this product works perfectly for both areas. It is non greasy and absorbs into skin quickly leaving it super hydrated. It doesnt irritate my sensitive skin. The product has rich and creamy consistensy and it is fragrance free. It doesnt cause breakouts and it doesnt clog pores. I will never be without it. The price is a little bit on the expensive side and hardly ever discounted, but it is so worth it. Hope they will never change this great formula.

I started using this cream on the Doctor's recommendation. I have sensitive skin, so checked with Chemist, they also recommended it.
So I rubbed it into my elbows, but within a few hours my arms above and below my elbow broke out in a bright red itchy rash. I guess because I washed my hands after use, my hands were OK. Please see if you can sample it, or buy the smallest size to check if it is right for you.

Had used Ego skin cream for years and then no longer available. Salesperson suggested Ego QV cream...this is NOT the same. My skin became irritated. Very disappointed with the product.

I have used other QV products before and never had a reaction so decided to try the cream for my dry winter legs. I put the cream on my legs after a shower and just before bed by the morning the rash was so severe it was painful to even walk. My ankles were swollen and i had a red lumpy itchy rash from my toes upto my underwear line. I immediately showered and tried to wash off as much as i could and had to have several doses of phenergan during that week to calm and sleep comfortably.

My daughter had horrific eczema/dermatitis since she was 1.5 years old. It was hard keeping it under control but this cream with a prescribed steroid cream cleared all blisters and rashes within 3 days. She baths in the QV bath wash and then has the cream applied afterwards. Amazing!!!!!!!!!

I bought this tub when I felt my skin was dry and it was recommended to me by a sales rep at Terry White pharmacy. It was good in what it did but I didn't like the after feeling texture especially on my hands. I prefer a cream that absorbs in without a lingering feeling. However in saying this I now have to take daily medication of steroids for the rest of my life and they are making my skin all over my body feel extremely dry. I am finding now that the product is working much better than it did initially and I don't notice that lingering creamy feeling as much. Perhaps my skin is soaking the moisture up real quickly??

I used to use this qv cream tube and the moisturiser works well as my hands were cracking due to dermatitis and my skin was getting itchy so I went to the doctor and he put me on to the wash and moisturisers but, now i use the pump pack and it's just as good .ego pharmaceuticals well done

About 2 years ago I had really severe eczema on my hands. I have had eczema ever since I was young for long periods of time, so the hope that my cracked and bleeding hands would ever heal in a decent amount of time would be like asking for a miracle. My hands got to the point that I would even have difficulty with the simple task of writing. By using large amounts of this cream with the help of steroids, my hands did clear up. Though I do have to give most of the credit to this hand cream since this is what I was using the most.

I have tried most famous creams for dry skin, but it,s near 6 years that I use only Qv (face hand hand cream), I think its the best solution for dry skins and even I use it for my dry hair!! It is the only emoliant product I buy and I am so satistify with that. Many thanks for your excellent product.

For those of you who use this for their baby, can I suggest using the QV Baby cream instead? It's because babies skin are sensitive and you're using something which is normally used on adults and hence is stronger on the babies skin. I haven't used QV cream on my baby but instead have used QV baby cream and his eczema has really cleared up and his skin is smooth again. So before giving up on QV range, try QV baby on your baby. Also even if your babies skin clears up, ensure you still moisturise. Just like our skin dries up and we need to moisturise everyday, babies need this too.

Good luck to all the parents out there.

Started this a week ago. My skin was so dry and inflamed, but after continual use (moisturized about 3x a day) actually soothed it down heaps and reduced the appearance of redness. Friends have noticed a difference. really recommend it.

Omgoodness if I could post a photo of before and after of my baby girl, I would! I tried everything for her eczema that you could name for all moisturizers from olive oil to coconut and almond oil cause midwives said natural oils for newborns are the best, WRONG!!!! QV Baby is the best cream moisturizer EVERRR!! it sure is heaven sent!! Thank you so much I pray that they are blessed cause we sure are!!

My daughter (11) has extremely sensitive skin. She has been using QV deodorant with no problems. She had very dry skin on her legs from summer swimming so we bought the QV cream to try. Bad mistake. Almost immediately she broke out in a bright red itchy rash. It took a long cool shower plus lashings of Bio Oil and antihistamine for it to settle.

I used this cream on my arms after a bath, and woke up the next morning with a severe rash that took my a week to recover from. I thought that perhaps it was as a result of something else, so I then ensured I applied it under normal conditions again (normal diet, no other applications to skin) and the exact same thing happened...took me another week to recover and now just staying clear of this cream.
I have now moved to using the "Intensive" cream...so far so good.

My wife used Ego QV on the skin around her eyes and both eyes became swollen and enflamed for a number of days. She had to seek medical help to reduce the swelling. Care should be taken with this product.

My Mum used this and her arms have blistered and she is on strong antihistamines to try and stop the itching. She's never had a reaction to skin products before and used QV to aid her dry skin. Avoid this product which contains parabens and petroleum based products. How it is recommended for sensitive skin is beyond me.
