Blog with Dr. IrwinTag >> Moisturizers Products for the eye area?Posted in Skin Care Products, Skin Care, Moisturizers, Eyelid Treatments, 2012 on Apr 24, 2012 | Permalink Is there an eyecream that offers hydration without being a treatment for puffiness, dark circles etc? I can never apply make-up over these creams without it rolling or sliding off leaving a less than desirable look.
Try the SkinCeuticals Eye Balm - just the plain one. Here is a list of some of my other favorite eye creams. Or, for something really basic, Cetaphil or CeraVe Cream (not the... more
Do I need to change my moisturizer for different seasons?Posted in Skin Care Products, Skin Care, Moisturizers, 2011 on Sep 17, 2011 | Permalink Do I need to change my moisturizer/skin care for Fall & Winter seasons?

Which moisturizers are good?Posted in Skin Care Products, Skin Care, Moisturizers, 2011 on Sep 14, 2011 | Permalink In your recent article "Dr. Irwin's Skin Care Regimen" you never mentioned if you use a night time moisturizer, you went straight to eye products after you use prescription Renova vitamin A cream.

I do use a moisturizer but I vary it summer to... more What can I do about chronic eczema that's now involving my face too?Posted in Skin Care Products, Skin Care, Moisturizers, Dry Skin, 2010 on Nov 09, 2010 | Permalink I'm 28 years-old and have battled eczema since birth, mostly on my hands, the crook of my elbows, and behind my knees. Within the past few years, the eczema has appeared on my face, neck, and ears. I've been using a hydrocortisone cream, which helps a lot, but I'm worried about the long-term consequences of using such a product several times a day, especially on my face. Is there a cortisone-free product (OTC or Rx) that will do the job? Also, I'm wondering if my shampoo could be causing/exacerbating my facial eczema. I've heard sodium lauryl sulfates are rather sketchy. Is there a SLS-free shampoo you recommend? Thanks!!!
You didn't tell me if you've been seeing a dermatologist? Please, please, please get thee to one right away if you haven't. And yes, over time, the chronic steriod use (even... more What can I do about chronic eczema that's now involving my face too?Posted in Skin Care Products, Skin Care, Moisturizers, Dry Skin, 2010 on Nov 09, 2010 | Permalink I'm 28 years-old and have battled eczema since birth, mostly on my hands, the crook of my elbows, and behind my knees.
