I saw it on Campbell live and wondered if anyone has tried it and how there experience was with it.
My daughter is just over 4yrs old and has had exczma since she was a baby, not bad by some baby/childs experiences, but bad enough for her to alway have dry skin which has flare ups every now and again which end up needing anibiotics.

I thought I would try it, so started today and see what happens.
It is $20 a 80grm tube.
Contains whetgerm and Benzoin in a vegetable base.
No artificial colours or scents, no petroleum or animal products.
100% Natural Plant Extracts.
It also says 100% Refund
Satisfaction Gurantee.

What was your experience?

Hi there,

My MIL bought some for our 6 month old after seeing it on Campbell live too. I tried it cautiously (as I do with all new creams) on only his right arm behind the elbow and behind his right knee and used fatty lemnis on the rest of his body. Interestingly within a couple of days both places I had put the invisible glove became so bad I had to turn to the hydrocortisone, whereas the same areas on his left arm/leg were not too bad. So for us it definatly seemed to make it worse- I assume this could this be due to the wheatgerm in the ingredients??

How did you get on with it- is it working on your daughter?

It sounded like a 'miracle cream' when it was on TV but I was disappointed to find it had wheatgerm in it. So I guess that rules it out for kiddies allergic or sensitive to wheat.

My daughter has excema and I was hopeful about the Invisible Glove cream too. But like Lulu09, my daughter's patches appear to have got bigger, and I have resorted to the hydrocortisone cream too.

However the cream does seem good for my chapped hands, so I guess we'll use it up for that.

Pity though...

We got some of this too. Funnily enough it worked great for about two weeks, now DS1's excema is worse than it has ever been and today the Gp has referred us to a skin specialist. She said it was awful and should never have gotten to that stage blush

We can't use hydrocortisone on it as he just screams and screams until we wash it off. Same now with most creams we use except for the Emulsifying stuff we use in the bath. It has gone from one bad patch on the back of his left leg to covering both legs from behind the knee up to his bottom and is now spreading all up his bottom too. It's the entire width of his wee leg. Mostly raw and split skin that he itches like mad and his pants stick to it which makes it worse.

Hopefully we see someone soon. GP gave us Antibiotic ointment today t use for the next 5 days.

I feel SO bad that I used IG now and am glad others have had the same thing happen.

Happened upon this thread and thought I should tell my experience. I have used it on my girls for nappy rash for the past few years and it is brilliant. i didn't know that it was meant to be an eczema cream until a Today Tonight episode.

We just use it for hands and grazes etc but some friends used it for eczema and got on well and some others not so.
The one's who didnt get on well got sent another cream that was excellent. I dont know what that one is called but they swear by it.


My little ones [6 and 7] still use it for the grazes but dont have any actual skin conditions at all
