I have always thought that I had oily skin and was acne prone. This past fall I was diagnosed with dermatitis which I had been mistaking for acne – I was treating my “breakouts” like acne and my skin was very angry with me and the dermatitis got worse 
After a trip to my doctor and a prescription that I am STILL on I’m slowly on the road to recovery. It will take a while but I’ve learned a lot about my skin. After reading Kristen Ma’s Book I’ve come to the conclusion that my skin is oily and dehydrated. Which now makes sense as I still get the dermatitis breakouts and without proper moisture my skin can be dry and flaky in the break out areas.

I’ve been using the
body wash daily and I absolutely love it. I don’t feel like my body is being “stripped” of any moisture – it lathers but it doesn’t over lather. And I love the light fresh scent which I believe is the lavender oil added.
I used the
Rejuvenate Daily Moisturizer on my face and while the majority of my face felt really nice and soft – not greasy at all – my cheek area (the area where I have the dermatitis break outs) felt a little bit tight. That’s where I used the
Soothe Spot Treatment and right away the tightness disappeared!! Both products absorbed quickly into my skin and I especially loved the spot treatment as it kind of left my skin with a “matte” look. Both products also worked great under my makeup. I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings to wait for a moisturizer to fully penetrate my skin and sometimes they just sit on the top of my skin causing my makeup to be more difficult to apply. There was no wait time at all with these products!
I don’t have a lot of people in my life with eczema and the few that I do know I don’t get to see that often but I’m definitely going to let them try out the soothe on their hands to see if it works for them.
I really love that these products are appropriate for the whole family to use, kids included. When you think about it, it’s kind of strange that we use stuff on our bodies that isn’t safe for kids….if it’s not safe for kids then why would it be safe for adults?
For all products there are:
- Zero Parabens
- Zero Phthalates
- Zero Formaldehyde
|
- Zero Artificial Fragrance
- Zero Artificial Colorants
- Zero Retinols
|
- Zero Sulfates
- Zero Petro Chemicals
- Zero Oxybenzone
|
I also love that they are a Canadian company! They have quite the impressive following, you can read more in their
testimonials section with comments from some pretty famous Canadian people!
I highly, highly recommend checking these products out. I’m going to continue using the soothe especially on the areas where my dermatitis is still present and hopefully it will heal quicker and with minimal scarring.

Hi Maye,
Oh you should definitely get her to try these products out. There’s a list of retailers here but it seems they are all in the Toronto area: http://www.dianelai.com/retailers
I see that it’s available on the “gone shopping” site so maybe they might have a discount code?
My daughter has eczema and am trying Lipitor for now. Is the website the only place to buy these Diane Lai products?
Thanks Tracy! Have you tried them out before?
One of my friends gets it badly on her hands too. I’m hoping this will help her out!
That’s so awesome! I’m glad to hear it’s working for your son
Her products are pretty great! Nice review!
great review! I don’t have eczema, but my sister and one of my close gf’s get eczema on their hands when they’re stressed! I’ll definitely pass on the info to them!
I won some of her products recently, and am using it on my son’s eczema patches. It really helps and it’s not irritating at all.
