Has anyone here tried Natzema?

It claims to be a natural remedy. It's not out in the pharmacies and can only be purchase online. It's around $60/tube, so I dont want to buy on impulse in case it doesnt works. They have been advertising vigorously but I couldnt find any reviews.
I've been using Physiogel and QV, both their wash and lotion, I moisturize everyday with generous amount of lotion but still it doesnt works! :(
I was told that stress level contributes to a part of it but with itching every single hour and dark patch of scars alr taken a tool on me psychologically. So how not to be stress! :(

I am also interested in that product but personally have not tried it yet. I just saw on their facebook page that they are retailing at some shops right now. I think it is at KK hospital and Tampines. I am thinking of going down to the shop at Tampines to check the cream out this weekend.

I also found a thread from another forum, they have some discussion about Natzema but that was sometime back. Link below:

I use Dermasone 0.1% Ointment and it works (doc prescription)
this is some darn strong steroid though..if long term its bad :(
if you guys have large patches, do a daily wash using (very weak) potassium permanganate solution on the spots (not whole body), it will help to dry up the wet eczema patches.

Used to have really bad Eczema.
After patch test found out I allergy to all sorts of creams, mainly the preservative ingredients.

A lot of creams and ointments are unsuitable for me and my case became quite tricky even to the dermatology specialists.

I'm on elomet now. Have recovered ever since, might be due to exercises and good rest.
But once flares up... it's really hard to recover especially with all the itching.

anybody tried this natzema cream alr issit good ?

I tried it and I am still on my first tube. It is quite good for me. It stops the itch and pain on my flare areas so I don't have to scratch that much. I like the texture of the cream as it does not have this sticky feeling after application like some other creams I have used.

I got it from this shop in tampines called mom essential at 56 bucks. I think they have a few outlets in SG. I checked with the manufacturer and confirm the cream got no steroids. They say if got steroids cannot just buy off the shelf. take a look at their website, got more information there.

Depend on how bad your ezcema have flare up. if it is just the itchiness n redness, it would be fine using this. If u have skin legions, inflammation, swelling, better go and see doctor. Quite x for a small tube but like some said, it is not oily n tends to dry up pretty fast.

Anyone tried the morning session doctor (not Dr Loke) at novena? Any feedback?

Please careful about atopic steroid. Google atopic dermatitis steroid withdrawal or red skin syndrome. I gone through 4 months withdrawal, it was hell. All the steroid poison purge from my body. If your cream does not work for you and you need stronger steroids, i urge you to do read up about this!!!

Hi guys, thanks for starting this thread. Initially I was thinking of buying Natzema and then the store which i go to actually got sell both natzma and atopiclair, so I decided to give atopiclair a try. been using it for a week now and I would say it works for me, now mine skin is not so dry after i shower, and I wouldnt have a outburst of diaper rash after my skin comes into contact with sweat and it has started to heal by itself. i feel less itchy and less red now so maybe people can give atopiclair a go, i got it from the KK hospital in a store called mother or moms essentials. curse steroids and protopic cos its not even enough to last me a few days and protopic costs like $70+ per 10g tube, wtf. this tube is like 80g and it costs $50++ fingers crossed for now as I will try it for a month....

i've asked NSC doctor b4 about allergy test as i wanted to do, but i was advised not to because the doctor said there are so many possible allergens (dustmite, food, weather) that it is almost impossible to find out which is the trigger for the flare-up.. in the end i just keep using steroid (damn strong) ointments..
