Reader story — Emily, the US. Health focus: family skincare.

Living with eczema and dry skin

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that affects millions worldwide, leading to dryness, itching, and inflammation.

The National Eczema Association notes that over 31 million Americans have some form of eczema, making daily life uncomfortable for many. Managing the symptoms often involves a combination of moisturizers, medications, and lifestyle adjustments, yet finding effective, long-lasting relief can be a challenge. For those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema, discovering products that soothe and hydrate is crucial for comfort and healing.

"My mother has very dry skin due to a thyroid condition, and I have some eczema as well. I was looking for something to help, and when I started using high-grade UMF™ 24+ Manuka honey, I was amazed. It worked right away for abrasions and dry, rough skin."

Skin care results that speak for themselves

After struggling to find effective solutions for digestive issues and skin care, I tried raw and pure Manuka honey. Positive reviews and testimonials convinced me it was worth a try.

Since using UMF™ 24+ Manuka honey, I've noticed significant results. When I applied it directly to my mother's dry, irritated skin, it improved the texture and hydration almost immediately. The soothing properties of the honey provided relief where other treatments had fallen short.

Reflecting on my experience, I'm thrilled to share how much this honey has helped. I highly recommend trying it for wound healing for anyone dealing with similar issues.

UMF™ 24+ Manuka honey has proven to be a reliable solution, offering noticeable improvements in skin hydration and healing whenever needed.

Is Manuka honey good for eczema?

Manuka honey has been shown to help soothe eczema flare-ups and reduce irritation. It can be used directly on the skin or mixed into an eczema cream. Higher UMF™ grades of Manuka honey, like UMF™ 24+, tend to offer more powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial benefits, making them particularly effective for skin conditions like eczema.
