Reviews
AMAZING!!
"I have tried so many different creams in the last few years that were just okay but not quite good enough to keep my skin happy. When I tried the 24 hour rescue, I was shocked how great it worked on my skin. I have extremely sensitive, red and flaky skin on my face and this just did absolute wonders for me… It feels amazing on the skin and keeps my skin hydrated for so long. Best cream I have used so far and it lasted me for a few months too!"
Great for Topical Steriod Withdrawal

"We have several containers of this around the house. It is the best we have used! My husband and daughter have eczema and coupled with ditching the itchy dozen (from the eczema book here) my daughter’s eczema is pretty much completely clear. Now we just address the itching and rashes as they appear."
Fabulous product
"I have been using this product for many years, it is the best I have found for problem skin."
"Fantastic product - does not irritate eczema or rosacea and is very moisturising for sensitive skin. Love the tub size - convenient, long lasting and none is wasted. My go to face and body moisturiser."
This is an amazing cream,
"This is an amazing cream, I have been using it for my sons eczema and it’s such a lovely thick consistency that keeps his skin moisturised throughout the day. I have tried so many creams but this one is by far the one that suits his skin the best. Definitely recommend it."

"Great product!"
Q&A
- I don't have itchy skin, just very dry skin with mild redness. I was previously diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema. Is the 24-hour rescue cream suitable for me?
- Yes it is suitable for you because 24-Hour Rescue does a wonderful job hydrating very dry skin. However, I suggest you buy Eczema Friend as it does two things: hydrates very dry skin and it relieved mild atopic dermatitis/ eczema. See our home page for Eczema Friend.
- Is there a difference between the 24-Hour Rescue balm in the tube vs the jar other than the size? Thank you.
- Yes, the new 24-Hour Rescue in the 150mL tube is an updated formula that is 100% natural so it no longer contains phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin (both excellent ingredients but we wanted to please our customers who wanted natural ingredients). The creams feel the same when used and they are both excellent products. The large 250mL version of 24-Hour Rescue will not be restocked once sold out.
- My son's skin really loved this balm. It's helped him a lot. I have ordered 4 tubs but have not received them. :( Can anyone help pls? Order number is 48525. Confirmed on Oct.7th.
- Hi Audrey, thanks for your question. Happy to help. I have sent your tracking number to you (to the email you sent to support@skinfriend.com) and it is with the local postal delivery service and will arrive very soon. Have a wonderful day. Kind regards, Carmen
