When will I see an improvement?
One of the most frequent questions we hear is, “How long before I see improvement?” Some people have seen their condition improve within a week or two. Others tell us it’s more like a month or two. While the time to improvement varies from person to person, you can influence the timing and amount of benefit by keeping these two points in mind:
1) Apply a generous amount of cream (see section entitled "How much Alwyn Cream do I apply?") at least once daily. Where possible, try for multiple applications of cream throughout the day.
2) Try to keep a consistent routine. Generally speaking, people who follow a regular pattern of use (for example, a consistent amount of cream applied once in the morning and once at night) tend to see a faster and longer lasting improvement.
How much Alwyn Cream do I apply?
Alwyn Cream is designed for use on the entire body.
For areas that are bandaged, we suggest that Alwyn Cream be applied to the entire application area with a thin, continuous layer. Gently smooth out the cream to make sure there is complete coverage. Proceed to apply bandages or dressings as you normally would.
For areas that aren’t bandaged, apply a thinner layer of cream so that it can be absorbed into the skin before it is rubbed off by clothing or bedding. You may have some recently healed areas where the skin is thin or weak. For these areas, apply an amount of cream that will be quickly absorbed without needing to be rubbed into the skin. For areas where the skin is stronger, you can apply a thicker layer of cream and after a brief amount of time (10-15 minutes) any cream that isn’t already absorbed can be gently rubbed into the skin.
We realize that every situation is unique. People seem to develop an application or bandaging routine that works best for them. You will be pleasantly surprised how easy Alwyn Cream is to work with and live with. Unlike other treatments that are greasy or uncomfortable to use, Alwyn Cream has a silky feel and a fresh fragrance. It absorbs quickly into the skin and after a brief period of time you won’t even know that Alwyn Cream is there working to help relieve your symptoms.
How many jars of Alwyn Cream should I use?
Alwyn Cream has been used by countless families over the last 10 years. Our suggestions for use are based in large part on feedback from people who have already made Alwyn Cream a part of their daily skin care program.
Our researchers have developed a guide to help people with the important question of “How much cream will I need?” This guide takes into account the size of the individual, the areas of the body to be treated and lastly, how many times a day Alwyn Cream can be applied.
By completing the three sections below, you will be provided with the number of jars to aim for on a weekly basis.
Alwyn Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. For the first week, apply Alwyn Cream on a small area only to test for any sign of irritation. Discontinue use if signs of irritation occur.
If no irritation occurs, consider beginning treatment with Alwyn Cream by focusing on one application area. Pick an area that is relatively easy to apply cream to and commit to a consistent application routine for at least a month or two. As you start to notice a benefit from using Alwyn Cream, expand applications to other areas. Simply revisit the Alwyn Cream Use Guide and select the additional areas in question #2. This will give you a better idea of how much more cream you will need.
