Customer Zoe B's experience of using DermaSilk Therapeutic Gloves is so encouraging that we reproduce it here:

“ I have eczema which flares up on my hands mostly. I also have Elhers-Danlos Syndrome which mostly affects my joints and to a lesser degree affects my skin.

I get something called fisheye cuts on my hands, which basically means the skin is quite thin and tears easily. For example, if my hands are a bit dry and I bend my fingers to pick something up, my skin tears on my fingers in the creases where the fingers bend and on the other parts of the fingers. My fingers then swell and the skin contracts and the splits in my skin travel to become longer and deeper. They also sting quite badly after I have washed them and moisturising them only seems to aggravate them further.

I put the DermaSilk gloves on one night when my hands were really itchy; my cream seemed to be making them worse and it was driving me crazy !

Within a few minutes the itching stopped. I was pretty amazed. I am a real sceptic when it comes to these things, so if it works on me you can be pretty sure it works !! When my hands start itching I get a bit irritable which makes them more itchy and this can go on all night ! I couldn’t believe how well the gloves worked and how quickly they helped.

Putting the gloves on stops the itching within a matter of seconds. They also relieve the stinging and actually make the skin feel less tight. The overall sore feeling goes and I can relax and carry on as normal – fantastic ! "
