Young mum praises 4 miracle moisturiser for ‘curing’ her little girl’s … – Mirror.co.uk

A three-year-old girl who has been plagued with painful eczema since birth has been cured by a 3.99 Boots moisturiser, her mother has claimed.

Evie-Rae's eczema left her bleeding, scratching and unable to sleep, the Nottingham Post reports .

Mother, Paige Sweeney, 23, from Strelley, Nottingham was desperate for a cure and took her little girl for countless appointments with a dermatologist, who prescribed the toddler antibiotics and steroid cream.

However despite attending appointments every eight weeks and trying a range of different medications, Evie-Rae's skin still flared up in painful rashes around her mouth, on her hands and in the creases at the back of her knees.

Paige decided to buy a 3.99 bottle of Child's Farm baby moisturiser from Boots while out shopping and within a week her daughter's skin had cleared up.

She said: "I've tried everything in an attempt to help Evie-Rae. She has had eczema since she was born, then when she was five weeks old she was diagnosed with a milk allergy.

"Her eczema was so painful that she didn't sleep through the night until she was two. She was constantly scratching and bleeding.

"We saw a dermatologist every eight weeks for two-and-a-half years, but nothing we tried seemed to work. It was awful to see her in so much pain."

She continued: "I saw the moisturising cream on the shelf in Boots and decided to give it a go. Evie-Rae also has a nut, soya and egg allergy, so we have to be careful with what we give her.

"Within a matter of days I could see her skin starting to clear up. I couldn't believe it. The NHS could save a fortune if they put it on prescription."

The unexpected reaction prompted Paige to post on Facebook - and the before and after images ended up being shared more than 40,000 times.

As a result, Childs Farm's founder Joanna Jensen, who launched the company in 2010 due to her own daughters' fine hair and sensitive skin, got in touch and paid Paige and Evie-Rae a visit.

Joanna said: "Paige and Evie-Rae's story is not uncommon to us - but they have shown how one small change can make all the difference.

"Since Paige shared her pictures on Facebook, the moisturiser sales have skyrocketed, flying off the shelves at the rate of one bottle per minute.

"I was delighted to meet Paige, her sister and Evie-Rae - it was the least I could do to thank them personally for sharing their experience with other parents, and doing wonders for our business.

"We are a small, rural business in Hampshire, competing in a space dominated by Global Pharmaceutical companies.

"We are constantly overwhelmed by the love and support we get for our brand from parents and their children - and all because I wanted to make bath time more fun and less itchy for my own girls."
