A reader who has had eczema flare-ups around both eyes for 12 years writes that Dr Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream (£8.99, hollandandbarrett.com) calmed the red inflamed rings within a day. ‘I applied it three times over nine hours. By the next day, the swelling and redness had substantially reduced, which has never happened so quickly.’ A prescription hydrocortisone cream often made the condition worse or, at best, gave only temporary relief. Dr Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream also contains aloe vera and other skin-soothing ingredients.
