"Shielding lotions not only protect the skin's barrier but they restore the moisture to the skin and allow the skin to continue to moisturize itself, so that your skin does not become addicted on the moisturizer and ultimately cures the dry skin.", Dr. Lisa Benest, board certified dermatologist, Burbank, California

"The secret to resolving dry skin is not only having enough moisture, but also having that moisture located where it can actually resolve a dry skin condition. The use of artificial moisturizers (conventional lotions) only mask dry skin symptoms, which can result in more dry skin, while a shielding lotion protects your skin, allowing your own natural moisture to heal the skin...", says Dr. Peter Helton, board certified dermatologist, board certified cosmetic surgeon, New Port Beach, CA. "We use a combination of steroids to handle the inflammation and a moisturizing cream to deal with the excessive dryness. A shielding lotion like Skin MD combines the medication with a sealant that keeps irritants out and helps the skin heal. So we get faster results and the patient has to use less medication. Hands down, a shielding lotion works better than any conventional cream."

"I live in the United Kingdom and work in a very dusty archive room in the British Library. My eczema is very reactive to dust and it was hell until I started putting on Skin MD. My skin felt more secure and I had less itchy outbreaks. The eczema is bad around my neck and face and it's hard to cover those areas in day to day life. Even though my eczema stems internally, at least I have good knowledge knowing that my skin is being looked after externally. Having the lotion on felt like a secure blanket over those areas and my day goes smoothly without any or very mild irritations." Hiren Ashra, UK

"I wouldn't go without Skin MD. My hands, arms and face are baby soft all during the winter. Young people want to know how come I look so young.....instead of 66, they all think I am 50! I love your product... and am even using it in the summer because going from hot, humid weather into drying air conditioning is not the best thing for your skin, either!" Barbara Gerstein, New York, NY

"After six weeks of use, I would have to say that yes, my skin is in much, MUCH better shape than when I started. I don't habitually moisturize, so there were several days during this six-week trial period where I simply forgot to use Skin MD Natural. But my skin still felt noticeably soft and smooth on those days, which is not ordinarily the case at all. So the only conclusion I could reasonably draw is that Skin MD is indeed helping my skin repair itself." Julie E., Reviews and More Blog

"In my line of work, I'm exposed to many types of fabrics and threads that dry skin and cracked hands can easily snag. Lotions and creams have been temporary solutions, but leave a greasy residue on fabric and equipment. Skin MD Natural is truly a lifesaver! After just one application, my hands were smooth and soft, and there was no residue. Even more amazing was that Skin MD Natural remained effective through several hand washings. Thank you for a great product! I'll definitely endorse this product!" Gena Bloemendaal, Sew News Magazine
