Skin concerns: Eczema

I frequently experience flare-ups on my arms, hands, legs, and feet. The itching can be unbearable at times, and I often end up scratching, which only makes things worse. Living in Singapore, where the hot weather and constant air conditioning dry out my skin, I’ve struggled with discomfort, dryness, and cracks. The itching can be so distracting that it’s hard to focus on daily tasks.
When I first applied the Topicrem DA Emollient Balm, I was impressed by its thick texture. Despite its thickness, it absorbed quickly into my skin as I rubbed it in, leaving my skin feeling moisturised without any stickiness. From the first use, my skin felt smoother, and the cracks started to reduce almost immediately. Although the itching didn’t completely disappear, it became much more bearable as the dryness and flakiness were reduced significantly.
Within just three days, I noticed a marked improvement in my skin’s smoothness and hydration. The balm worked quickly to soothe and moisturise my skin, and by the end of the first week, the affected areas were less red, less dry, and much less prone to flare-ups.
The Topicrem DA Emollient Balm is by far the most effective cream I’ve used for my eczema. Most other creams tend to be thick and uncomfortable, but Topicrem’s lightweight formula absorbs fast while still providing deep hydration. It’s perfect for daily use, even in Singapore’s humid weather, and it has become a must-have in my skincare routine. Since I’ve seen visible improvements during the review period, I definitely plan to continue using it.

I typically experience mild flare-ups on my arms and hands, especially when the weather is hot. The itching can get pretty distracting, making me irritable, and I often end up scratching. Previously, I relied on oil-based moisturisers because cream-based ones usually felt too heavy and didn’t absorb well. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Topicrem DA Emollient Balm.
Despite being a cream, it feels lightweight and absorbs quickly into my skin. It has no fragrance, which is a big plus for me, and it’s been effective in soothing my dry patches. I hadn’t tried anything that specifically targeted itching before, and this balm not only helps relieve the itch but also reduces the rash. My skin feels smooth and moisturised without any sticky residue.
I apply it after showering and use it daily, replacing my usual moisturiser. Since starting, I’ve noticed that my skin is less red and doesn’t itch as easily. The dry areas feel much more moisturised and soothed, making a real difference. After just a few days, the redness and itching have significantly improved. What I appreciate most is that it’s so lightweight — I can use it every day without feeling uncomfortable or weighed down.
Overall, it’s great to have a moisturiser that works so well for my sensitive skin, especially in hot weather. I never had the habit of applying body moisturiser regularly because I didn’t like the heavy feeling, but with Topicrem, I’ve been using it consistently because it’s both effective and comfortable!

I’ve been using Topicrem DA Emollient Balm on my face, neck, arms, and legs daily to manage my eczema flare-ups. The issues started in June, possibly due to moving to a new home or office, and sometimes the itching gets so bad it wakes me up at night. The air conditioning does help relieve the discomfort, but I was hoping for a more lasting solution.
The balm’s packaging is standard, and the texture is quite thick. It takes a while to absorb fully into my skin, and on my face, it feels a bit oily. That said, it does soothe the itch, even if it’s just by a little. I’ve tried other brands, and this one stands out for its heavier, creamier consistency, which might work better in cooler weather.
I’ve been applying the balm after showering and using two or more pumps to cover my entire body. While it hasn’t completely solved my eczema, it’s helped reduce the redness on my face slightly and provided about 20-30% improvement on the other affected areas. I’m hopeful that with continued use, I’ll see better results over time. It’s not a hassle to include in my routine, and I’ll keep reaching for it when I experience itchiness.
Despite the thick texture and occasional stickiness, I appreciate that the balm is fragrance-free and offers some relief. I think this product could be particularly effective during winter when my skin tends to need more moisture. Overall, I have faith in the Topicrem DA Emollient Balm and will continue using it as needed.

I’ve been using Topicrem DA Emollient Balm on my hands and arms where my eczema flares up.
The balm’s lightweight texture is perfect — moisturising without being overly oily, and it absorbs quickly. It soothes my flaky skin and relieves itching without leaving any sticky residue. Within 30 minutes, I noticed a reduction in itching, and after a few days, my skin became less flaky and cracked.
What I love most is that it doesn’t transfer onto clothes or my phone after applying. It’s now a daily staple for keeping my skin healthy and comfortable.

I’ve experienced flare-ups on my face, neck, legs, feet, and chest triggered by weather and air conditioning. It feels itchy and the dry patches on my feet can become unsightly.
I usually apply different creams to moisturise, though not consistently. For my face, I avoid moisturisers when it flares up, using only a face mist. My neck has also become more sensitive over the last few years, and I no longer use creams there as they tend to irritate the skin.
The Topicrem DA Emollient Balm has a thick texture and initially feels heavy, especially on my face, but it absorbs quickly after a few minutes. It soothes my skin and helps reduce redness, dryness, and itchiness. I appreciated that it didn’t cause any flare-ups on my neck, which was a relief. After a week of daily use, I noticed significant improvements — my skin was more moisturised, and the redness on my face and patches on my feet were less noticeable.
Overall, it’s a great product for eczema and dry, itchy skin. It’s easy to apply after a shower and works well for both face and body, though I would recommend using a thinner layer, especially on the face.

Previously, I used another moisturiser that’s formulated for eczema-proned skin, but it didn’t alleviate the itch or provide lasting relief. Thankfully, the Topicrem one is different. The balm’s thick, creamy texture absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky. It significantly reduces itchiness and effectively moisturises my dry skin, even during my recent trip to the cold, rainy UK.
This one really stands out. It’s smooth, lightweight, and makes my skin feel comfortable without weighing it down. After using it daily, I noticed that my skin felt less irritated and better hydrated. My eczema flare-ups have improved, and my skin looks smoother with lighter marks.
Overall, the balm has been fast-absorbing and effective, and its lack of fragrance is a plus. I appreciate how it calms my skin without feeling uncomfortable, even when I perspire. I will definitely reach for this balm whenever I experience itchiness again.
