QV Skincare launches new range
QV Skincare is excited to announce the launch of its new Dermcare Eczema Daily range, which has been specifically formulated to help manage the symptoms of mild to moderate eczema by supporting the skin barrier.
The range was previously known as QV Intensive with Ceramides Light Moisturising Cream and QV Intensive with Ceramides Hydrating Body Wash.
In a recent study, QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Wash and Cream when used together, have been found to help relieve skin issues associated with moderate eczema in adults and are now regulated as medical devices.
New QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Wash and Cream are scientifically formulated moisturising products that can be used as often as needed. They contain a number of rigorously researched ingredients that together help to manage the symptoms of mild to moderate eczema, including:
• Glycerin A humectant that when applied topically, draws water to the surface of the skin, thereby helping to improve the skin’s hydration.
• Ceramides to help support the skin barrier.
• Niacinamide to help improve the skin’s dryness & scaliness.
