AS SEEN ON BBC Calm Eczema & Psoriasis fast. 100% Natural Vegan Intensive Balm. Safe for all ages & skin types. Made in UK.

I've been using this product for a few days, starting to notice a difference already 🤞

Works well

Very moisturising, a very faint fragrance and a little goes a long way. I bought this for my mum who is 100 years old and sadly it didn't help much in calming her very itchy skin.

I had high hopes for this product, sadly my hopes were not met.Firstly the smell, it's not fresh nor fragrant, has a slightly musty and offensive odour. The texture is odd, with a slightly gritty component, but then melts into an oil. My skin remained oily and it didn't seem to absorb. I tried to continue for over a week hoping this would be the miracle claimed, but actually my eczema got worse and I had to abandon.Overall, very expensive for a small amount of product that is neither pleasant nor helpful.

I use this for psoriasis on my scalp - it’s nice and soothing but hasn’t cleared it up for me. This could just be me though! It’s a little lily so I have to wash my hair everyday (which aggravates my psoriasis) but it’s nice and calming when I have an itchy episode. Have bought twice now

So far it works

I have had great skin my entire life. Never really suffered from acne as a teenager and have always taken care of it.Once mask wearing became mandatory in the UK around the end of 2020...that all changed.Like many people, my face broke out in a rash because of the masks. I had a bad rash above my lip at the sides of my nose that ran down the lids of my lips. Whatever it was, it was viral, as when i would scratch it (without realising) I would scratch other parts of my face. This caused it to appear above one of my eyebrows, the side of my right eye and at the bridge of my nose.It was awful!!After weeks (maybe months) of self remedy and finally caved in to the steroid cream Betnovate. This i always wanted to avoid, as putting steroid cream on your face is never a good idea...but...literally after the first application, within the hour the rash pimples had greatly reduced. Within two days they were just slightly red blemishes and at after 5 days, almost gone.I stopped the betnovate after a week.A few days after this the rashes came back. Bizzarley, same size in the exact same place. So on went the betnovate again. Again, it cleared it up but then came back a few days after application.So i searched the internet for a natural solution. After reading many reviews and ingredients checking Thunderbird SkinsRescue Balm (seemed) to be the great choice.When it arrived i gave my skin a few days off the betnovate. and sure enough the condition came back.I applied the rescue balm at the start of a new day, in the afternoon and before I went to bed. Unlike the betnovate, it didn't have any effect within the day, but i expected this as it is a natural remedy.My first thoughts though is that its very greasy. It doesn't blend in with the skin or get absorbed, It just sits on your skin shining all day, especially if you apply it three times a day as recommended.The next morning was terrible. The areas where i had applied the balm were deep red and almost (in some places were) blistering. I stopped in right away. I went straight back on the betnovate.However, I wanted to give Thunderbird skin the benefit of the doubt. So after stopping the betnovate after a few days I tried the balm again...same result!!The picture uploaded was this morning. I only applied the balm last night to one specific area (a test area). Woke up, again, to a red blistering rash.This balm, for me, is just like rubbing grease on your face. I would love to get the ingredients checked myself just to see whats in it.For years Ive used coconut oil as a moisturiser. Although it doesn't clear the rash, it does sooth it. The balm however just aggravates it.Im now currently trying to get hold of my doctor to be referred to a dermatologist to sort this out.This balm clearly must work for some people, hence why Ive given it two stars. Maybe I got a bad batch, I don't know, but for me...its just horrible!

I cannot get enough of this stuff! I've had eczema for years because of an allergy I hadn't figured out yet, and I've currently got a flare up because I accidently ate some of my allergen... But I wish I'd had this years ago! On normal skin, it sinks in wonderfully, but on bad skin it sits on the surface a little longer. Perhaps some might not like that, but for me it acts like a moisturising barrier that keeps working long after I've applied it.HUGE selling point, also - it makes it less itchy. Almost immediately. Which is amazing to stop that vicious cycle you get into with eczema!The smell is addictive! It's so good. It smells and feels very similar to a moisturiser I tried to make myself at the height of my bad skin, except this has many more great ingredients that I didn't have in my very basic DIY formula.My dad heard about it on the radio and bought me a sample pack, and as soon as I started going low on this stuff I went online and bought a 100ml pot! I've also saved the sample pot and have filled it back up with this one so that I don't have to carry a big one around everywhere (although the flat shape of the pot makes it great for travel regardless, it just doesn't slip in my pocket as easily).Buying creams for eczema can be a bit of a minefield, as some really disagree with my skin, but I know this is one I can rely on. Also love the fact that it's all natural, and being cruelty free is fantastic. I'm not vegan myself, but I am allergic to eggs, so because this stuff is also vegan is also a guarantee I'm not rubbing bits of egg into my skin, which sounds mad but sometimes egg derivatives are used in cosmetics and medicine so that's fabulous.I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
