After trying numerous solutions, she gave SOS Serum and Night Cream a go, and was amazed that it completely changed her appearance.

She shared: “It’s been just over two weeks since I’ve been using the SOS Serum and Night Cream.

“My redness and reactiveness really calmed down, almost gone, and my skin loved the serum; the night cream also really helped with redness and plumping effect on my skin.”

“Red Algae Sea Moss from the Icelandic coast helps visibly plump the skin while you sleep, while Cranberry Extract offers a gentle, retinol-like effect without the irritation often associated with vitamin A derivatives, a key benefit for reactive skin types.”

Meanwhile, Bruce added: “From children through to pensioners, almost everyone will experience skin itching, sensitivity or irritation at some point in their lives.

“The instinct is always to scratch, but that only worsens the problem.

“Drawing on my decades of experience formulating for many famous global cosmetic brands, I developed the SOS Serum Skincare range to break that cycle and truly support compromised skin.

“At the heart of the range is its namesake hero product, SOS Serum – a multi-tasking saviour designed to instantly calm, hydrate and repair even the most reactive skin.

“It’s more than a serum; it’s a skin solution.

“The brand has evolved into a complete range designed to calm, strengthen and restore the skin barrier, making it suitable for conditions such as rosacea, eczema, diabetic skin and chronic sensitivity.

“Today SOS formulations are the by word and benchmark for safe skincare. They provide comfort and protection, smooths and preserves the skin’s natural barrier function.

“They lock in moisture whilst providing instant cooling and soothing. Medically inspired skincare – Naturally.”

What is eczema?

Eczema is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, red, dry and cracked.

Atopic eczema (the most common form of the condition) is more common in children, often developing before their first birthday.

However, it may also develop for the first time in adults.

It’s usually a long-term condition, although it can improve significantly, or even clear completely, in some children as they get older.

The exact cause of eczema is not known.

Symptoms:
Some people only have small patches of dry skin, but others may experience widespread red, inflamed skin all over the body.

It can affect any part of the body but it most often affects the hands, insides of the elbows, backs of the knees and the face and scalp in children.

There are many different treatments to help control eczema, including:

  • self-care techniques, such as reducing scratching and avoiding triggers (babies and small children may need to wear mittens to avoid scratching)
  • moisturising on a daily basis
  • topical corticosteroids to reduce swelling, redness and itching during flare-ups
