“One day lotion...... Contact dermatitis?”

written by on 15/09/2013

Used this skin cream on holiday and after the first day my legs went dark red angry rash and eventually purple. My right knee then became swollen and then my ankle. The swelling took ten days to go and my legs are now itchy like hell and peeling. I convinced myself at the time I hadn't reapplied enough suncream and must have got sunburned..... But something kept telling me the texture and look of my skin wasn't like any sunburn I'd ever experienced or observed and the swelling was abnormal. It really ruined my holiday and my curiosity would not let this one go and a friend mentioned knowing someone who took an allergic reaction after using this one day sun cream and I turned in amazement and said that was the very one I used on holiday! She then alerted me to the Watchdog programme that featured this.....if only I'd seen it beforehand! I am now convinced this is the problem while I sit 2 weeks on with still some rashes, constant itching and discoloured legs. I have the doctors next week and going to take this cream along to explain. That poor woman who got the swelling around her face and eyes! Must have been terrifying. There's enough complaints on this website to ensure ill never use their products again, especially given that they're refusing to remove the allergy causing ingredients.
