REAL RESULTS

When Amanda came to me, she was dealing with an uncomfortable — and all too common — skin nightmare: irritant contact dermatitis. The back of her neck was inflamed, itchy, and painfully dry. Her symptoms had reached a 10/10 in both itchiness and dryness, and redness was close behind at a 9/10.

Everyday activities, like washing her hair or putting on clothes, became difficult. And with additional irritation spreading to her eyelids and upper back, Amanda was understandably overwhelmed.But within just 10 weeks, Amanda went from a painful flare-up to calm, clear skin — and it all started with identifying the root cause.

WHAT TRIGGERED IT?

Amanda’s dermatitis was initially triggered by irritating haircare products — specifically a shampoo that was aggravating the back of her neck. Combined with high work-related stress, her skin reacted in full force. A reactive rash appeared, spreading not just on the back of her neck but also onto her eyelids and was spreading to her upper back.

WEEK 1: CALMING THE STORM

The first step was eliminating the irritants. We completely removed all sensitizing hair and skin care products and rebuilt her skincare from the ground up with gentle, barrier-supportive products:

Zyderma FAT9 Oat Bar – a skin barrier friendly cleanser to calm and soothe.

NeoGenesis Recovery Serum – to address inflammation and reduce redness.

SIV Biome Balancing Serum – to help control the dermatitis at its microbial root.

COLE Barrier Repair Cream – to restore hydration and repair dryness.

These targeted choices gave her skin the space it needed to begin healing.

WEEK 4: EARLY PROGRESS AND ENCOURAGEMENT

Just 4 weeks in, Amanda began to feel real relief. Her numbers told the story:

Redness: 9 → 6

Itchiness: 10 → 5

Dryness: 10 → 3

She told me:

“My face feels so much better, especially my eyelids. My neck is a lot better but a bit bumpy. Dryness is basically gone, skin never felt so nice on my face! This week I had a flare-up on my neck but the itchiness has gone down significantly, by about half.”

It was clear her skin was responding beautifully — we were so happy that her skin was becoming a lot more comfortable and the dryness had almost completely resolved.

WEEKS 5: DEEPER REPAIR WITH MB-2

To address lingering bumps and support deeper skin repair, I transitioned Amanda to a more occlusive and probiotic-rich treatment: NeoGenesis MB-2.

This balm is specifically designed for stubborn inflammatory conditions like eczema and dermatitis.Amanda used it nightly, and by week 10, she shared an exciting update:

“I used MB-2 every night for a month and a half for the stubborn patch of eczema on the back of my neck. By the end of the month and a half it totally cleared up my eczema and repaired my skin back to normal. I highly recommend this product!”

Her skin was fully recovered. No more rash. No more discomfort. Just healthy, resilient skin that finally feels like hers again.
