Chances are if you’re reading this right now, it’s safe to say you either have eczema or know someone that does. For instance, perhaps you have a family member or close friend who struggles with the common skin condition (which affects the lives of over 31 million Americans), and you took it upon yourself to do some research on their behalf. Or, maybe you’re the one struggling and you wound up here while searching for answers for what feels like the millionth time. When it comes to down to it, how you got here isn't what ultimately matters. What does, though, is Gladskin: an ultra-promising new steroid-free eczema solution that just launched Stateside after helping hundreds of thousands of sufferers in Europe.
It's a mic drop moment that probably has you wondering—and with good reason—what makes Gladskin any different than the countless over-the-counter creams and alleged cure-alls already on the market. The fact is, though, there are several components that set it apart from its competitors. The main difference is that it contains a groundbreaking smart protein known as Micreobalance®, which helps by restoring balance in the skin microbiome. Additionally, it’s both antibiotic and steroid-free, so risks and side effects are slim to none.
Curious to know what other elements make Gladskin so game-changing in today’s ever-growing eczema market? Simply keep on scrolling.
It doesn’t contain preservatives.
This aspect alone makes Gladskin revolutionary in the eczema skin-care space, seeing as almost every currently available treatment on the market contains some form of preservative(s) to keep the formulations from spoiling. The major problem with preservatives, though, is that while they will extend a product’s shelf life, they’re also a known allergen or trigger for eczema. Many preservatives used in over-the-counter creams can result in adverse reactions—even when used in small amounts—as they kill off the good bacteria our skin actually needs to thrive and stay healthy. Knowing this, Gladskin opted out of the preservative route, and instead developed its own innovative bottle with airtight technology, which works to maintain the formula’s efficacy and keep bad bacteria out, without compromising the good. No chemicals needed.
It features a first-of-its-kind protein.
Through years of extensive research, scientists learned that nearly 4 out of 5people with eczema have an imbalance of good versus bad bacteria on their skin. This bacteria imbalance makes eczema symptoms, such as redness, dryness, and itching, significantly worse. For this reason, the Gladskin team spent ample time researching and developing what’s known as Micreobalance®: patented protein inspired by nature that specifically rebalances the skin microbiome and eczema-prone skin. No big deal but, it happens to be the world’s first of its kind.
It restores balance.
If you’re unfamiliar with the skin microbiome, here’s what you need to know: It’s a community of living microorganisms made up of mostly good bacteria that work to protect the skin barrier and keep it functioning well. When bad bacteria such sneak in, though, this can exacerbate a whole host of skin conditions—including, of course, eczema. Most products on the market simply work by getting rid of ev-ery-thing, but not Gladskin. Instead, it preserves the good bacteria our skin needs while dissolving what’s harmful to us. This progressive approach ultimately helps to restore a balanced microbiome, thus lessening eczema symptoms and resulting in healthier skin overall.
It’s friendly medicine.
Unlike most eczema treatments available—including over-the-counter options as well as prescribed medications—Gladskin doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals, drying alcohols, preservatives, perfumes, or parabens. It’s also not a steroid nor an antibiotic, both of which come with a laundry list of alarming risks and side effects. Because Gladskin works on the bacteria balance (aka microbiome), it’s safe for anyone from babies to pregnant women and adults. What’s more: Being steroid and antibiotic-free makes it 100-percent safe for daily and long-term use.
It’s fast-acting.
While certain topical steroids and antibiotics might work their magic in a matter of days—sometimes even less than that—Gladskin manages to do so, too, simply sans the wellspring of scary side effects, which includes skin thinning, withdrawal, and more. In an independent study with eczema patient organizations of Gladskin in Europe with 48 patients, it was shown that Gladskin soothed eczema prone-skin while leaving it moisturized, too. Additionally, some folks have seen a significant turnaround after a mere few days of use.
