Its a great product. My father is 90 and living with us. It keeps his chronic eczema under control without any problems.

MP, Ohio

My eczema is totally gone now. I can't believe it. Anyway, I got rid of it by using Exfol Cream on my hands all night long and then Super Cop 2X the next night. It was gone in a week. I've had eczema for years so I'm really excited about it. No doctor's prescription and no hydrocortisone!

Last spring I began using Skin Bio products to help my eczema/psoriasis problem ( I don't know which - the dermatologist just shrugged and handed me an emollient sample ) on my scalp. Because of my condition which caused patches of inflamed areas sometimes with tiny points of bleeding and scabs, I was unable to go to a hairdresser. They of course have health regulations which restrict them from cutting hair when there is broken skin.

After two months of regular use of the Skin Bio shampoo, Bioheal and/or CP serum on my scalp ( I used the sample size of Folligen Lotion and the sample size of Emu Oil but Bioheal and CP Serum regularly ) my scalp had no reddish inflamed areas nor any broken skin. I was able to go to the hairdresser for a professional cut for the first time in four years. It was very gratifying for me so I wanted to encourage others.

My scalp is not cured because I still have areas where my hair growth is not normal - only about half an inch long - but my hair is thick enough to cover it.

P&R cleared up the eczema on my hands in three days.

I tried BioHeal with good results on 3 patients in my acne clinic who had trouble with eczema. All patients reported a reduction in itching and a slow reduction in skin redness at the eczema sites.

The Body Lotion has helped with my itchy eczema. Now I rub it on the problem areas before bedtime and it keeps the eczema down.

Dear Skin Biology:

My skin is getting much better with your cream. I am taking methatrexate and imuran which is causing my skin problems. I was ready to try anything for the eczema caused by the drugs.

Dr. Loren Pickart,

Thanks for the sample of your Protect & Restore cream dressing for my daughter's eczema. Her hands have been the best shape in 10 years. I would like to order more of the cream for her. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Thanks again.

KW, Everett, WA

Thanks for letting me try your BioHeal skin cream on my hand. As you know, the area of eczema on my right hand was about 2" long and 1.5" wide, very inflamed, sore, and continuing to spread.

The problem started in October 1992 and I had given up hoping for a recovery--all the ointments that I had been using allowed, at best, a temporary relief of the itching and burning. These ointments included a 1% and a 0.5% cortisone cream, a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor, and a coal tar from a health shop. Each time the hand started to look or feel a little better, the eczema would flare up again and I would be back to square one.

Conditions that aggregated the eczema included chlorine in our swimming pool , bleach, perfumed hand creams, although I do not know how or why it started in the first place.

Within the first few days of using your cream, I noticed the inflammation was reduced and the eczema had stopped spreading. About 2 weeks later the cracks were healing well and the area was no longer tender. Now, three weeks later, there are just a few little scars that are fast disappearing.

I wish you the best success with the cream - I really thought my problem was here to stay - so thanks again.

ZS, London, U.K.

Thanks so much!!! I received the Bioheal a few days ago. Seems to be making a nice difference (eczema). THANKS for getting it right to me.

MM, Ozark, MO

I have Sjogrens disease and Lupus and have problems with very dry skin. Normally I use moisturizers several times a day but they don't really solve my skin problems. Since using Protect & Restore cream my skin is much better and is less dry. The skin also seems to be less irritated.

"It Worked for Me"

Name: Joy Dawson, Wichita.

Personal: 75, single, middle school substitute teacher.

Problem: Eczema (a painful skin inflammation) on her index fingers and thumbs.

What she did: tried a Copper-Peptide lotion (CP Serum) meant to be a skin care product, after reading a newspaper story about non-surgical ways to reduce wrinkles.

She had unsuccessfully tried lotions and salves from her dermatologist and was wearing gloves on her hands at night at the suggestion of her son who is a doctor.

How she did it: Dawson's hands were so affected that "there would be cracks and splits, and they'd be bleeding."

The story about Copper-Peptide creams mentioned that the creams were originally developed for burn victims and diabetics whose wounds wouldn't heal. Dawson has type 2 diabetes, which often can be controlled with diet and medication rather than insulin.

Small studies had shown that skin treated with Copper-Peptides had less pigmentation, reduced wrinkling, and held more moisture.

Dawson had tried alternative medicine in the past and wasn't finding relief from other sources, so she didn't have to think long about trying the Copper-Peptide lotion, which she ordered from the Internet.

Dermatologists' offices sell Copper-Peptide products; they are also available over the Internet through companies including Skin Biology and Neova.

She hasn't tried the lotion on her face: She jokes that she's too old for it to do much good.

Dear Moisture Seekers:

I have always enjoyed your Mailbag section, and have been grateful to pick up patient tips to make living with Sjogren's a little easier. I would appreciate your consideration of the following for your newsletter:

I have Sjogren's Syndrome and Lupus causing severe problems with very dry skin. I am prone to "cracks" in my fingers due to Raynaud's, and "burns" in other areas of my skin, including my face. I have used many expensive products trying to help the situation, with minimal results.

The "burns" would only respond to steroid ointments, which caused scarring. I recently discovered a product that has greatly helped the dryness and accompanying skin problems. The product is called Protect & Restore and is available from a company called Skin Biology (1 800 405-1912; http://www.skinbiology.com). I have never written about a product before, but the improvement has been so significant I want to share with other patients who may have the same problem. I have been using Protect & Restore and BioHeal (same company) for about one month. Since using these creams my skin is greatly improved with better texture and is significantly less dry. I was afraid to try anything on the burned areas of my face, but went ahead when I saw the improvement in other areas. The burns healed within days. More impressive, the unsightly scars from the steroids have been replaced with healthy skin. I have not had further problems of that type. In the past two weeks, I have received numerous compliments on my skin - and not just from people who know me. For a forty-eight year old woman with illnesses that negatively impact the skin, this is worth writing about.

Also, the cracks and sores on my fingers (from Raynaud's) heal very quickly with BioHeal.

I found that your breast cream is good on dry eczema patches when they are hurting... oddly, I find it gentler than BioHeal--and it makes for a great eye cream.

Hello Dr Pickart,

My friend, has been using your BioHeal and P&R #3 with great success. She has Sjorgren's and the BioHeal and P&R #3 have been remarkably effective in eliminating her lesions.

I am of light brown complexion, but my facial skin has large dark brown patches the result of many, many years of sun bathing. Linda suggested I try your TriReduction Cream. I was of course very skeptical, but said I'd give it a try. She ordered some for me and I have been using it most of this year. Even using it only once a day or every other day the dark brown patches have lightened noticeably. Just think if I used it daily, morning and evening!

A TriReduction Cream believer,

PP, California

I have been using BioHeal and the P&R Day Cover and have noticed an amazing improvement in my skin. I have Lupus/Sjogrens and would get skin lesions that would take months to heal. With Bioheal I am getting fewer lesions and they heal quickly so I am using much less of the cortisone lotions the dermatologists always prescribe.
Thank you

Causes of Dry Skin

Eczema is often associated with dry skin which is also called xerosis, or xerotic eczema (xeros is Greek for "dry"). Xerosis may occur in normal healthy skin or be caused by specific conditions in which the skin fails to secrete adequate oils such as Sjogren's syndrome. Generally, as we get older there is a tendency for a drier, less oily skin. When skin become too dry, the outer skin layers become stiff and may develop cracks. The cracks grow into fissures which irritate, itch and inflame the skin.

We tend to experience dry skin more frequently during the fall and winter when the humidity is low and we bathe more often. Xerosis is commonly called "Winter Itch" since it worsens in the winter as observed by many dermatologists. The condition is most unpleasant in areas of the body with relatively few oil glands such as the arms, legs, and trunk area. Fifty years ago, most people took one or two baths per week which gave the skin a chance to replace its natural skin oils between cleanings.

Our best suggestion for dry sensitive skin is to keep your skin well moisturized.

Issues with Extremely Dry Skin

Eczema, characterized by inflamed skin, can have many causes. However, in general, (1) the skin's repair is too slow, (2) the skin is exposed to many irritants, and (3) the skin has an overly high pH; that is, it is not acid enough. These conditions loosen the skin's outer protective proteins and let irritants pass through.

The dry, cracking skin associated with Eczema is especially severe in Sjogren's Syndrome. This auto-immune disorder is characterized by excessive water loss due to a breakdown in the protective outer barrier of the skin. Also, the skin's production of the water-holding proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) may be deficient.

Inflamed skin requires gentle cleansing. Not all mild soaps are tender to the skin. Most so called "mild" soaps possess a high alkalinity of pH 9.5-11. These acidic cleansers deplete the natural acid that protects skin while also extracting protective lipids (fats). In addition, such soaps often contain high levels of synthetic detergents which both strip away the mantle and loosen the protective keratin proteins. Since irritated and eczematous skin tends to have a more alkaline pH, alkaline soaps only exasperate this acidic state making the skin more vulnerable to irritation and infection.

If you have very sensitive skin, always start with our mildest copper peptide: Super GHK-Copper Cream.

BioHeal can be used once or twice daily during outbreaks.

Use Emu Oil S Lipid Replenisher on top to facilitate penetration.

Typical results take approximately 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
