"As parents, we felt powerless."
Märta's skin problems started early, when she was only a few months old. She had atopic skin with rashes, and we were prescribed a treatment plan involving softening and cortisone.
- Märta wasn't allowed to eat red foods or take baths, and we applied cream after cream without any improvement. The rash was always there and flared up badly at any time – worst in the creases of her knees and elbows and on her hands. As parents, we felt powerless. We wanted to help our daughter, who suffered from constant itching and irritated skin.
We started looking for other options and found Q for Skin. After emailing them, we made our decision, stopped using cortisone, and started taking blackcurrant capsules and moisturise blackcurrant oil. Nothing else worked; it stung too much. At first, the rash got much worse, but we kept going, determined to give it time. And eventually, it turned around!
After a few weeks, her skin began to calm down and eventually cleared up. We were soon able to mix the oil with Quick Repair Cream without any stinging. We continued to apply a mixture of cream and oil every day, at first frequently, then less often, and now Märta only uses Quick Repair Cream after she showers. Her skin is fine. No rashes in almost five years!

Avalon's mother tells the story.
"When Avalon was six weeks old, we began to notice that his skin was becoming unusually dry and red on his arms. The symptoms only got worse, and a nightmare began. He had problems all over his body, and neither he nor we, his parents, could sleep. After a few weeks, the doctor diagnosed him with atopic eczema. According to him, there was nothing else to do but moisturise cortisone and softening. We tried natural softening until that was no longer possible, and we had to resort to cortisone. It helped as long as we applied it, but as soon as we stopped, the discomfort returned. We also needed to use more and more for it to be effective. It was as if the discomfort was never gone; it was there beneath the surface, and the cortisone only managed to suppress it for short periods of time.
Can this really work?
When we came into contact with Q for Skin, I just snorted a little and thought, "We've already tried everything, yet another company offering a product that won't help." But after a little chat with a skin therapist who really believed in Q for Skin, I couldn't help but give it a try. What did I have to lose? A few hundred kronor, so I thought it was worth a try...
We are beginning to see results
That was it! After using the blackcurrant series for a few days, our skin immediately improved, but after about two weeks it got much worse. Our skin therapist had warned us about this and told us to keep going and that it would get better. We did so, even though it felt tough for a few days of severe discomfort. But we, as parents, felt that it was worth it and that it would be fine! And we were right. After using the series for a total of two months, the discomfort was completely gone. I could hardly believe it; it was like a miracle.
Pain-free today
Six months later, we didn't even need to use the cream and oil anymore. Only the capsules did the job. Now that it's getting colder and the air is drier, a little cream is needed now and then, but it feels like we've built up Avalon's skin with so much oil that it's become incredibly strong. The skin problems are gone!"

How Blackcurrant Capsules and Quick Repair Cream transformed my daughter's skin
"My daughter, who is now 12, started having skin problems when she was 4 years old. It was worst in the creases of her knees and elbows. Strong ointments helped at first, but it always came back, so it didn't feel like a sustainable solution. We thought we were eating well, but we tried eliminating certain foods that can aggravate skin problems anyway, but it made no difference at all. It was so hard to see how much she suffered from the itching and how she scratched her skin raw at night; the sheets were often bloody in the morning.
I really wanted to find something that could help, so I googled around and came across Q for Skin. It's been about two years since she started using blackcurrant capsules, starting with 1 capsule/day and then gradually increasing to 3-4 capsules/day. We also appliedQuick Repair Cream Quick Repair Cream on exposed areas. Now she takes 2 blackcurrant capsules a day and we hardly need moisturise the cream at all. It's fantastic that her skin is so beautiful now. It feels so good that we finally found a sustainable solution that works."

"I was super dry in the arm creases and even in the knee creases. I sometimes woke up at night because it itched so much. But now it's completely gone! Thank you Q for Skin! Now I can sleep all night without pain or itching."

"Five days later, Alfred's skin was so beautiful that I cried with relief."

"After we started using the lip balm on a regular basis, we noticed a clear improvement quite immediately. The lips were moisturized and the redness was significantly reduced."

Rash all over the body
- It feels fantastic that there is help available that does so much good for a small child's body, as long as you open your eyes and look beyond the usual boundaries.
Andrea, Alfred's mother, explains:
- When Alfred was 3 weeks old, he started having stomach problems and tests for food allergies were initiated. I excluded cow's milk protein, eggs, and soy from my diet while breastfeeding. Alfred's problems never showed up on his skin, only in bloody stools. When he was 10 months old, I tried eating eggs again for a few weeks, and that's when red spots started appearing on his stomach. They spread and got worse, and eventually he had ugly, inflamed rashes over most of his body. It was worst on his stomach, in the creases of his knees, and on his neck. We were immediately prescribed cortisone, but I wanted to get to the root of the problem with the right diet and pure products.
After talking to Ellinor, we started with 1 capsule blackcurrant oilper day and applied Quick Repair Cream and the oil. After just over two weeks, we had used up all the products, we had applied so much! And the eczema flared up worse than ever. At this point, I started to panic and spoke to Ellinor again, who reassured me and told me what I already knew, that the skin was renewing itself and was in a transitional phase. So, we bought another batch of cream and oil and increased the dose of capsules to 2 per day.
Five days later, Alfred's skin was so beautiful that I cried with relief. We didn't need moisturise much, but we continued with the capsules. He eats a diet free from cow's milk, eggs, soy, and gluten. We bathe him about once a week with only oil in the bath water. The skin problems are not yet gone (it has only been 1.5 months since we started using the products) and on some days when he has been running around and playing intensely, it can flare up extra. He has also had a cold once, and then the eczema got worse. But we are not giving up and everything feels more under control!
It feels fantastic that help is available that does so much good for a small child's body, you just have to open your eyes and look outside the box. I wish that more people with problem skin would get the chance and take it!
