Has anyone used this during chemo? Looking for the best option as far as keeping skin moisturized while going through chemo.

I refused chemo because it only improved my percentage of cancer returning by 1%. I only used the cream during Radiation.

Miaderm is good stuff! If it weren't so expensive I would bathe in it. I used it at the end of my radiation treatments and it helped soothe my skin, and now that rads are done it's helping my skin to heal. If you get radiation, just don't use ANYTHING on your skin 4 hours before treatment. The Miaderm would be best to start before radiation begins. Also, while you are going through chemo be sure to drink lots and lots of water. Even then you can get dehydrated just from the chemo itself which will make your skin dry.

I only used it during radiation. I did not use it during chemo. I was told by my Radiation nurse, that you can use the Miaderm cream as a lotion for your face, arms, etc. Her mother uses it as a lotion and really likes it.

This is specifically made by radiologists for radiation treatment and it is on the pricey side to use as a regular moisturizer. I would pick up an unscented lotion for sensitive skin from the drugstore instead.

I am having both radiation and chemotherapy. I'm using the Miaderm -L for where I'm being treated with the radiation. I'm using Miaderm Radiation Relief on other parts where the Chemotherapy has affected the skin Bot products are awesome and I couldn't do this without them. I have on my wish list and people have been wonderful send to me.

I have been using this daily as moisturizer since 2010. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Put it on right after you wash your face and while your face is still moist. A little goes a LONG way. If you don't use too much then it should soak into your skin. Really saw the difference after using it for several months.

Hi Scott, I am not qualified to recommend how anyone else uses this supplement. I know a cancer survivor who used it for a while. I use it daily and plan to do so until I don't feel I need it. I researched it made my own decision. I tapered up until I felt my system was getting enough. Diarrhea is how some people determine they have enough. I feel that it is very helpful to me. I do take it on an empty stomach. No issues with long-term use that I have read about. Best wishes, Lynne

No, not at all. But I use it in response to skin cancer. I use Nivea under it. I'm unsure if it would dry the skin were I not to use the moisturizer.

Hi EJ, I can't really answer this as I tossed my face cream after a couple of weeks. I was not at all happy with it. I felt it had absolutely no moisturizing component at all and given that no matterwhat it was otherwise if was of use to me.

the cicaplast pro-recovery is a godsend... I have all kinds of allergies and very dry skin, most creams or balms that are safe to use just don't hydrate well for me... this lasts and feels great

I have not tried to use it before. B/c it is clear and so incredibly moisturizing, I dont think it is somethingI would try. The product I have loved for years to put on before getting in the tanning bed is called Worship Me. I love the smell an dhow well it works. But i cant seem to find it on Amazon :( I have been trying to find something to replace it since I dont live near tanning salons to just go and pick up a bottle.

I used it daily until I ran out. In the evening was when I applied it. I use purity once a day also and not a problem there. I don't remember following this with a moisturizer at night but if I had to I used a moisturizer that is not by Philosphy and I did ok.

Hello, I have only used this in capsules, but I have seen that others will use it just as a skin moisturizer. Hope that helps some. Thanks, Jim

Yes, I would definitely recommend it! This product will act as any similar moisturizer, and works best when applied to clean & dry skin, to help retain the moisture, rather than get wiped away with a towel afterwards! Hope you like it!

I do not use it in place of moisturizer. Per my dermatologist, i use it on top of vitamin c cream and before moisturizer and eye cream. I have been using this product for a long time. I swear by it.

Hello there! I am not quite sure, but I live in Northern California, and during those rainy months, I still use this in the morning to keep my skin moisturized. I have normal-oily combination skin (T-zone areas is oily). I hope it helps

I use it under moisturizer. Sometimes, if I am not going to apply makeup, I use it alone during the day to let my skin breathe a little. I love the texture and feel of it. I do believe it is working for me.

i have used it, and i much prefer the avocado oil as a body moisturizer. The main reason why is b/c i know exactly what is in avocado oil and since i usually mix it with other natural oils. The consistency is a little heavier in my opinion and it also contains mineral oil and other un-needed ingredients. If you do not want the oil to be heavier than the neutragena one, i would highly recommend to mix it half and half with grapeseed oil. I personally love that concoction, it is very moisturizing and a great anti aging blend for your skin. Good luck :)

My skin is fine now. And yes the darkening of skin was normal as well as the dryness. The darkened path peels off after 2 days or so, you don't need any cream other than your regular moisturizer. But my skin is a lot better! :)
