Melaleuca Renew Intensive Skin Therapy Lotion 20 Ounce with Pump

Moisturizing. Good for people with eczema, sensitive skin or allergies. Fragrance and color free. Only thing that seems to help my sons eczema.

I have an embarrassing nervous habit- fidgeting and my fingernails/cuticles shoe it. I’m also a nurse and wash my hands-A LOT. I’ve done Vaseline at night, brushed the oil on my cuticles several times daily and my hands still look bad unless I get the mani regularly. My sister gave me a bottle of this stuff for Christmas- I was very skeptical but I could not believe my hands looked so much better in little time- the hangnails decreased dramatically. I ordered my own bottle recently and now manicures are for special occasions. This stuff is amazing.

Seems good but not sure if the moisturized skin stays moist for even 12 hours during Winter months .

My 2.5 year old, 7 month old and I all have eczema. It is brutal. The kiddos have it so badly they get horrific patches of dry red skin that looks like an alligator to the look and touch. They also claw themselves until they bleed and are constantly itchy. Eczema is not contagious but is hereditary and extremely uncomfortable and can be tied to allergies and asthma which I have all three, not sure if my kiddos have all of three yet since they are so young but unfortunately it appears they are heading in that direction. Eczema affects my childrens sleep thus mine. Their skin is so bad that strangers feel the need to inquire about their skin or ask me what is wrong. I have taken my children to an immunology/dermatologist specialist at Childrens hospital and Im truly doing everything I can. I did NOT want to use steroids but I have to use a steroid cream when my 2.5 year old has a major flair up. The doctor has suggested showers then deep moisturizing as soon as shes out. Then to apply intense moisturizers, vasonline, comfortable soft pjs that are non skin iritants. I also have to use a steroid cream and Benedryl to assist with the itching. I have tried more creams than I care to list. The dermatologist also prescribed an anti-itch chewable tablet but my daughter refuses to take it so moisturizing and steroid creams are all I can do, thus incredibly important. I tried the Renew moisturizer after two of my friends swore by it and one was referred by her doctor to try it. Personally my dermatologist and the kids dermatologist have never mentioned Renew but I will give almost anything a try. Heres my feed back. While two bottles are near $40 and some people may find that spendy, they are extremely large bottles at 20 ounces each and anyone buying eczema creams are used to this. Creams are usually higher in cost than lotions. As far as moisturizing it is nice but I wouldnt say it is the best thing that I have ever tried. Its not as thick as Eucerin or some of the other creams on the market so I feel I need to use more of it or add vasoline with it but it has a nice silky feel. The NEGATIVE and dealbreaker for me is that for a skin product that is supposed to heal skin sensitivities and issues it has FRAGRANCE added to it. This is UNHEARD of. Why would you add fragrance to something that is supposed to help those of us who have adverse reactions to frangrance? This makes no sense to me and it is an AWFUL smell. I know Im sensitive but it has a really bad smell to it and I dont like my kids smelling like it, this sounds terrible but it kind of reminds me of the smell of a grandma (Im not trying to be cruel, just honest). Im going to use it because I purchased it and it does do an o.k job moisturizing but next time I order cream Im going back to my other options which avoid fragrance. Some creams do have all natural oils which sometimes have a light scent but nothing that has the verbiage FRAGRANCE added. I also feel that you have to use it after a shower or it does not moisturize well and must be reapplied over and over throughout the day. If you dont have any adverse reactions or allergies than the fragrance most likely wont bother you but for someone like myself who is really sensitive I figured it is worth mentioning. I have tried a ton of other creams that people have said have awful smells and they havent bothered me. This smell is definitely bothersome. Pros: -Moisturizes and feels silky on your skin which is nice -Just like it advertises nongreasy formula, it does NOT feel greasy -If applied after a bath or shower it seems to lock in nicely & last for the majority of the day -The bottles are very large so I think the moisturizer has a great price point, it is also nice not to have to order the moisturizer every two weeks. Some moisturizer bottles are so small I continuously have to re-order them every other week which I find it to be very inconvenient. -I have been using it almost a week on my daughters skin and it does seem to be keeping her skin moisturized nicely -The other thing worth mentioning is that some creams really hurt if your child has an open cut from scratching, so far my daughter has not complained which is awesome because usually when shes clawing is when she needs the moisturizer the most! Cons: Fragrance is added to the moisturizer (Im very sensitive) The frangerance that is added smells awful If you dont use it right after showering or bathing the moisturizer doesnt lock in, however I find this is pretty normal for most moisturizers.

This is my go to lotion for eczema flare ups for my toddler. I ordered it through Amazon for the convenience and would give 5 stars if it were priced to match the actual companys (Melaleuca Wellness Company) price for the product. It was convienent to receive it so quickly though. As with most products from Melaleuca Wellness Company, the longer you use it, the less of the product you have to use the next time. That only equals great value to their amazing products!

I got this for my mom as she had dry skin. Can’t tell the difference from other moisturizing cream. Does not work. It is expensive.

Love love it!!!!

I have very dry skin because of rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes. This is one of the best, if not the best, lotion that I have ever used.

I have very sensitive, dry skin and most things give me hives or rashes. I have always put lotion on after showers. And since I’m 6 months pregnant, I am super diligent about putting lotion on my tummy several times throughout the day. Recently I went to my moms house for a week and didn’t pack lotion because I knew she would have something at her place for me to use. THIS was the lotion. I was instantly impressed by it because it seemed to last hours longer than what I had been using (Lubriderm and Cetaphil). I still like those other lotions but I exclusively use the Renewal lotion on my belly to combat the stretch marks. And so far, so good. I’m only 6 months in though! I’m not opposed to the stretch marks if they happen but this lotion feels super hydrating and I love it. The smell is bland but that’s comforting to me in a way since I avoid things with perfumes in them as I’m usually allergic to perfumes!

Every winter, without fail, the backs of my hands get super dried out, and they can crack and bleed, which is just not a good look. This stuff works great if you use it consistently. It can take a couple days to fix really bad hands, but Ive had a great experience with it so far. Also works well on my arms, legs or back if they get dry and a little itchy. Yes, it is expensive, but I think it works a lot better than other brands that I had tried and thought worked well, initially. Working Hands worked halfway decent a d smelled alright, same with Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream, but that was more of a thick gel that was hard to spread on and left a lot of residue. This goes on pretty easily, smoothes out nicely, and leaves less residue when it gets worked in. It also has a pleasant scent to it. We had been milking the last bit out of some very old bottles that my in-laws had from years ago, until we finally ran out. Im super happy with the new bottle. Came with a pump that works great, but the nozzle, like on any kind of cream like this, will dry out and coagulate a little. That plug of semi-dried cream comes out pretty easy and works in just fine. Just keep that in mind before you hit the pump hard and get sprayed with hand cream. Thats my only little complaint. Im really just very impressed with the product itself. This will last me a while and seems to hold up we over time (based on how long the stuff we got from my in-laws lasted and worked), so I find the seemingly semi-high price tag to be worth it.
