The Invisible Glove is a unique cream which claims to simultaneously protect, nourish, moisturise and heal the skin.

It provides outstanding protection for the skin against irritation, chafing, dryness and a wide variety of skin ailments.

It protects and insulates the skin against damage from the environment and from man made agents such as detergents, solvents, alcohols etc.

As well as insulating the skin from external irritants, the protection allows the skin to return to its natural balance and complete the healing process.

Among the results, the natural protection provided by the cream claims to end cracked hands and heels as well as being useful for sensitive skin and eczema.

Creator Les Redding has gone from making 10,000 tubes a year to being able to punch out 3000 an hour.

He said he will need to once the rest of the world hears about the Invisible Glove.

"We give a guarantee if it doesn't work for anybody within 14 days we just a full refund of the product," he said.

The Invisible Glove is available at health food stores and pharmacies for RRP $19.95.

You can also purchase it online at www.ellenjay.com.au.

It contains active ingredients of Virgin Wheat Germ Oil, Benzoin Extract and Vegetable Oil.

Hi, you can check out a thread I started that is titled something like 'said I wasn't going to do this again' - it is about me trialling this product.

While it is lovely and helped me with my nasty, chafed, winter feet (kept in shoes all day at work), it really didn't 'cure' my daughter's eczema and I didn't really think it would. They offer a money back guarantee, but I seriously can't be bothered with it. The product is nice, but there is actually no cure for eczema, except the sufferer's immune system growing strong enough to fight it on its own.

Sorry to be on a downer :thumbsdown: , but after having trialled a zillion 'natural' remedies, the only thing that worked for us so far is a combination of zyrtec and cortisone cream. However, DD is nearly 18mths and her eczema has reduced a lot in the last few months. I wonder if it has something to do with spending more time with our dog, since the other was put to sleep. The times co-incide, but it could also be just that she's changed kindy, we know her food and environment triggers and she's getting older and stronger.

Good luck with whatever you try.

Hi I also thought about trying this product. I have shocking ezcema. I has having light treatment for a few months that cleared it up but the ezcema is coming back again. I didn't think it would be a cure but i thought it could be soothing, it it?, I guess i am back to the zytec and cream.

Thanks for the replies. My GP suggested to try a 1% cortisone cream and i have been using it for a couple of days now and I think it is getting better. It was only classed as 'mild' eczema, basically red and dry but seemed to be spreading over her body and I didnt want it to get to the stage where it was really bothering her and getting worse (sorbolene or QV creams didnt help it, nor did the bath oil).

Nicole I use this stuff called Medi Quattro First Aid Cream on Toran. It has antiseptic, mild anaesthetic anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. I don't like the thought of using cortisone, and when I did try it in the beginning it didn't help. This is the only thing that has stopped it from getting worse. He was scratching it to all hell and making a real mess of it.

Now you can't even tell it's there.

If it is controlled with a 1% cortisone, you are very lucky. We are lucky too, but DD's eczema was classified as severe and it was literally all over her body, in between her fingers and toes, on her ears, etc. However, we are pretty vigilant with her triggers and the 1% dermaid, with zyrtec and QV intensive combination has worked a treat for us.

I've kept buying Invisible Glove, but only for my feet!!
