Introducing the QV Flare Up range:
The symptoms of eczema can be very distracting and disturbing for the sufferer. The QV Flare Up Range of Wash, Cream and Bath Oil provides for all over, all day therapy for flare ups.
QV Flare Up Bath Oil is ideal for treating large areas of skin and for treating young children above 6 months of age. The dual action formulation reduces the level of bacteria on the skin and leaves an emollient film to help restore the skin’s moisture, suppleness and softness.
QV Flare Up Wash works to relieve atopic eczema by gently cleansing the skin and removing bacteria that can aggravate eczema. The elegantly soft foaming action also enhances the cleansing experience. QV Flare Up Wash is ideal for treating smaller areas of skin and when a full bath is not practical.
QV Flare Up Cream is a highly emollient cream for the topical relief of eczema. The emollient properties of QV Flare Up Cream improve the symptoms of eczema by providing an emollient action which restores skin hydration and relieves associated itching and irritation
Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional.
