Ego QV Cream

Terrible customer service – Terrible customer service. I have tried to contact Ego Qv Pharmaceuticals for several days via their website enquiry page and also by telephone, and I cannot get any response? I have an issue with finalising my cart in their online Ego Shop. It appears they have no interest in your customers or their money.

QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Cream with Ceramides caused skin red and peeling off – My son used it for a few day. Now the skin around his neck and face is some red and peeling off. Why? Is it expected? I am worried.

It’s awful to my children’s skin – I bought a pump bottle of QV eczema daily with ceramides. Recommended by doctor after my son’s appointment with the doctor for his flare up eczema. As I went to the pharmacy, the lady from the store recommended it too to I absolutely gave it a go. Day 1, My child was severly crying when I applied the cream, I thought the reason was something… Read more

else. Same with day 2, he was extremely crying again when I applied this cream but I thought it must be the qv flare up wash that I bought made his skin sting. Now I tried it with my 9 year old girl who is Autistic and non verbal who has a mild case of eczema, she also cried but could not tell me the reason. I continued on day 3, same issue my son was extremely upset . 4th day, I tried it with my 5 year old boy who if perfectly normal and well and has no eczema (I stopped using it to my 2 other children with eczemas) I thought maybe my boy can use it as it is expensive, but he was screaming when I applied the cream to him after shower. He said it sting and his skin was burning. I have to shower him again to make it stop. My little one’s skin after using this product has become more itchy, swollen and red. He will scream and gets scared if he saw me holding this Qv cream bottle. I don’t understand why our doctors recommends it. Its awful Im sorry

Thank you for replacing QV 500g because of faulty pump – Wonderful customer service. When I reported that the pump on my brand new 500g QV cream didn't work, I was immediately offered a replacement. It arrived in the post yesterday. The pump works perfectly. Now I can enjoy this soothing cream - especially useful over the dry Winter months. Show details

Brilliant Product – I don't normally use chemical / pharmaceutical type products, so this went against the grain for me personally. I broke out in a sore rash after the Covid jab, and the dermatologist recommended I use the Ego range as a replacement for my normal routine. I brought the soap-free wash for the shower, the lotion for my body and this cream for my face… Read more

(eyelids and under eyes), and the rash cleared up in a matter of weeks. I know it was this range that helped, as I broke out in the rash in early 2022 but was not able to see the derm until July and nothing helped prior. But within about five weeks of starting Ego, the rash totally cleared up and has not come back since, and I have reverted to my previous routine. I really liked this cream best of all, but really it is only suitable for the face or small patches due to the thickness of it....... I did of course do a 24 hour patch test before using it and having no reaction I knew it was safe to proceed.

Pump doesn't initially fill the tube and pump chamber with cream – Cream is great - once you can access it. I have found both the intensive and the normal QVcream dispensers need a lot more than 5-10 pumps.Try it yourself. I tried various ways, such as: rigorous pumping for 30 seconds, unscrewing the pump and blowing the cream down the internal pipe to fill the little pump chamber. That worked for two pushes on… Read more

the pump, but nothing was coming up the pipe. Succeeded in getting flow by putting the container and the pump section in hot water for about 20 minutes. The cream loosened up and the rigorous pumping got the flow going. Once going there was no problem afterwards. This has been a problem on 2 out of 2 QV containers I have bought. I suggest the product needs to leave the factory with the internal tube and pump chamber full of cream.

Ego QV Dermcare Eczema Daily Cream and QV Cream – I have dry skin on my hands, these were the only two creams in the house I have so I thought I would try them both. Well... After putting it on my hands flare ups and redness started to appear also stinging Show details

My skin is ruined because of this – My mum originally bought this for me to help with my dry skin especially my face but after applying this i noticed a blotchy rash on my face and everytime i use it burns like hell, my mum is forcing me to use it because she thinks it’s going to help if i keep trying it but it’s caused me terrible pain on my face and my skin looks awful. Show details

Absolutely horrible effects! – I have eczema prone skin and have been looking for products for ages. It was all ok at first, a bit of burning but I thought that meant it was working. Next thing I knew, there was a huge red rash all over my body. It only inflamed my eczema and caused lots of irritation. This was the worst product I have put on my skin and all I felt like doing was throw it in the bin and say “what a waste of money”. Never buying again. Show details

Awful product – Used Qv dermcare ointment on my ecezma prone skin. Within 5 minutes it was hot, red and itchier than I have ever been. I do not get this reaction from other products. I cannot believe this is recommended by doctors and pharmacists it’s literally does the exact thing of what it’s suppose to! I have had multiple attempts and all the same. Very disappointed I wasted my money on this. Show details

Hot and itching – I just use Day cream in the last 6 months. 1st time use I don’t have any skin reaction. In the last 30 days, my skin got hot and a little bit itching immediately after use for 10 minutes and it’s gone. But after 6 hours, the itching sense is back and I have to wash it all the time. Any advice? Show details

Caused irritation – My baby has dry skin and I used QV on her forehead. I couldn't work out why her eyes were red and slightly swollen and I was worried. The redness went away by the next day The next day Unused the QV on her again and when bubs skin sound ehr eyes went red again, I realised it was the QV cream. Show details

QV face cream caused a red, painful rash – I used QR face day cream, only for it to immediately result in hot, red and very painful rash. Immediately washed it off with water only. Unbelievable for a product meant for sensitive skin. Would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Show details

Sudden rash - Has QV Lotion changed ingredients? – I've used QV Lotion religiously for around 30 years and absolutely loved it! However, about 12 months ago I started to get a dry, scaly rash around my eyes and cheeks and my eyes were puffy and itchy. I investigated everything but it took me about 12 months to finally figure out that it was the QV Lotion!! It was the last thing I suspected as I've… Read more

have used it for so long with absolutely no problem. Have they changed an ingredient? I miss it. Can anyone recommend anything similar?

Extreme allergic reaction – Bought for dry skin relief but broke out in a itchy pimpley red rash. Only used it after a shower and it had begun, chest was covered and body very itchy. Show details

This is perfect, can't live without it – Recently I have bought the QV cream from the shop. I have used the cream on my dryer body and it is very good feeling and I love it when I have it twice a day. Show details

Caused unexpected reaction – I bought a pump bottle of QV Cream to use as a whole body moisturiser, specifically due to having skin that is sensitive to fragrance and recommendations from others. When I first applied (post shower) it went on beautifully, wasn't greasy or uncomfortable. On waking up the next morning, I was covered in a red, itchy rash, particularly at my… Read more

inner elbows and around the tops of my thighs/groin crease.

I also used it on my face, which, strangely enough, has had no rash or itch, and is in fact very smooth and lovely feeling.

I am mystified as to the ingredient that has caused this reaction, and caution everyone to buy the smallest size and patch test first before committing to a 1kg bottle as I did!

QV overrated!! – QV Intensive is the product, rubbed it on, felt itchier after use, it had a negative reaction on my skin which led to more eczema, don't expect any relief using QV, it may work if your eczema is very mild, but if your suffering don't go using this product and expect it to do what's needed, especially before sleep. Show details

The best all purpose cream – This cream is the best all purpose cream there is. A wonderful Australian owned and made product that works. The pump bottle is easier to use than the tube or jar. Our whole family uses it - from the baby to the adults in the house. I even use it on my face to top up my regular moisturiser Show details

Not good for baby – Recommended by both child health nurse and pharmacist for some spots on babies cheeks. Unfortunately this left a very nasty, red rash within a few hours of application. Care needed with this product. Show details

Set my son's skin on fire – At my son's 4 month checkup, I mentioned he had a few spots of eczema. Doctor prescribed steroid cream for if it got worse and recommended using QV to keep him moisturised. His skin continually got worse. I was alternating between QV and some stuff from the health food shop. The cream from the health food shop was running low so for I was just… Read more

using QV and his skin was so red. Trying to relieve the redness my partner smothered him in QV within minutes everywhere the QV had touched was red roar. He was so irritated, crying, trying to scratch his skin. We quickly washed him off and found some cream his older sister had used, which gave him some relief. Definitely do not recommend

Amazing product – I've been using QV cream for some time now and absolutely love this product. I have dry and sensitive skin on my face and normal skin on my body and this product works perfectly for both areas. It is non greasy and absorbs into skin quickly leaving it super hydrated. It doesnt irritate my sensitive skin. The product has rich and creamy consistensy… Read more

and it is fragrance free. It doesnt cause breakouts and it doesnt clog pores. I will never be without it. The price is a little bit on the expensive side and hardly ever discounted, but it is so worth it. Hope they will never change this great formula.

Skin Rash – I started using this cream on the Doctor's recommendation. I have sensitive skin, so checked with Chemist, they also recommended it. So I rubbed it into my elbows, but within a few hours my arms above and below my elbow broke out in a bright red itchy rash. I guess because I washed my hands after use, my hands were OK. Please see if you can sample it, or buy the smallest size to check if it is right for you. Show details

Ego cream not the same as before causing irritation – Had used Ego skin cream for years and then no longer available. Salesperson suggested Ego QV cream...this is NOT the same. My skin became irritated. Very disappointed with the product.

Perfect for normal skin – Compared to other reviewers, I would say I have relatively average skin. I do not suffer from eczema or have allergies which would lead to adverse reactions. I use QV cream as a face moisturizer on a daily basis and I find my skin takes it in well and it is highly moisturizing. I also use it as a hand cream from time to time and it leaves my skin… Read more

silky smooth. It is a simple moisturizer with minimal scent and a huge tub will last you for a long time. I previously used Cetaphil lotion as my face moisturizer and whilst it was highly absorbent, I found it did not moisturize my skin sufficiently enough in winter. I had patches of dry skin on my face. With QV, I rarely suffer these dry patches.

If you want a simple moisturizer without the bells and whistles, try QV Cream.

Terrible rash – I have used other QV products before and never had a reaction so decided to try the cream for my dry winter legs. I put the cream on my legs after a shower and just before bed by the morning the rash was so severe it was painful to even walk. My ankles were swollen and i had a red lumpy itchy rash from my toes upto my underwear line. I immediately… Read more

showered and tried to wash off as much as i could and had to have several doses of phenergan during that week to calm and sleep comfortably.

The best – My daughter had horrific eczema/dermatitis since she was 1.5 years old. It was hard keeping it under control but this cream with a prescribed steroid cream cleared all blisters and rashes within 3 days. She baths in the QV bath wash and then has the cream applied afterwards. Amazing!!!!!!!!!

It does moisturise – I bought this tub when I felt my skin was dry and it was recommended to me by a sales rep at Terry White pharmacy. It was good in what it did but I didn't like the after feeling texture especially on my hands. I prefer a cream that absorbs in without a lingering feeling. However in saying this I now have to take daily medication of steroids… Read more

for the rest of my life and they are making my skin all over my body feel extremely dry. I am finding now that the product is working much better than it did initially and I don't notice that lingering creamy feeling as much. Perhaps my skin is soaking the moisture up real quickly??

Not bad at all – I used to use this qv cream tube and the moisturiser works well as my hands were cracking due to dermatitis and my skin was getting itchy so I went to the doctor and he put me on to the wash and moisturisers but, now i use the pump pack and it's just as good .ego pharmaceuticals well done

Life Changing – About 2 years ago I had really severe eczema on my hands. I have had eczema ever since I was young for long periods of time, so the hope that my cracked and bleeding hands would ever heal in a decent amount of time would be like asking for a miracle. My hands got to the point that I would even have difficulty with the simple task of writing. By… Read more

using large amounts of this cream with the help of steroids, my hands did clear up. Though I do have to give most of the credit to this hand cream since this is what I was using the most.

Developed a bad reaction to this over a year – I swapped from cetaphil intensive to this as I had developed severe stinging. It seemed that the qv cream was better but again I seem to have a problem after a year. They contain many of the same base ingredients eg glycerine in water which can sting very dry skin - However after being cleared of eczema with a steroid ointment I went back to the… Read more

cream thinking maybe I would not now react with clear skin. Unfortunately after 1 day applying qv moisturiser. I have gone from white skin to red and hot and it is not fading after some hours. I clearly find this cream irritating. It is frustrating no idea on which ingredient irritates me in these creams- it might even just be glycerin for me..It may work for others, as it seemed to work for me for a while. Good luck!

Perfect! – I have tried most famous creams for dry skin, but it,s near 6 years that I use only Qv (face hand hand cream), I think its the best solution for dry skins and even I use it for my dry hair!! It is the only emoliant product I buy and I am so satistify with that. Many thanks for your excellent product.

Works for my 6 months old boy – For those of you who use this for their baby, can I suggest using the QV Baby cream instead? It's because babies skin are sensitive and you're using something which is normally used on adults and hence is stronger on the babies skin. I haven't used QV cream on my baby but instead have used QV baby cream and his eczema has really cleared up and his… Read more

skin is smooth again. So before giving up on QV range, try QV baby on your baby. Also even if your babies skin clears up, ensure you still moisturise. Just like our skin dries up and we need to moisturise everyday, babies need this too.

Good luck to all the parents out there.

After 2 years of struggling with eczema, this helped the most!! – Started this a week ago. My skin was so dry and inflamed, but after continual use (moisturized about 3x a day) actually soothed it down heaps and reduced the appearance of redness. Friends have noticed a difference. really recommend it.

Worst baby product – My baby skin became red and skin peeled off with blood. Full of chemicals don't buy this if you care your child. Show details
