An Australian mother who had ‘tried everything’ to cure her little girl’s painful eczema has revealed how a simple $49.95 oil eased it in just 12 hours.
Kerry Caruana, 36, from the Gold Coast, Queensland, said her daughter Eden, almost two, started suffering severe eczema and psoriasis when she was just seven weeks old.
But after applying Glory Oil by Australian brand Eco by Sonya Driver to her daughter’s inflamed skin, she couldn’t believe how quickly the redness started to disappear.
‘Eden had patches on her chest, back and face and her face gets pretty bad. One day her face was so bad that it looked like sunburn,’ Ms Caruana told FEMAIL.

‘It was extremely red, hot and so sore for her and she kept pointing to her face and saying “owie” – it was so hard seeing her in pain like that and pointing to it all the time while crying.
Whenever she starts to get sore, she comes to me and says “face, face” and points to the oil.
‘I tried another “natural” brand specifically designed for eczema and she screamed when it touched her skin so I took it straight off with some water.’
To try and ease her daughter’s pain, Ms Caruana tried steroid creams, oatmeal baths and cutting out all products with perfume and harsh chemicals but nothing seemed to help for longer than a couple of days.
Health professionals also failed to help, telling the frantic mother that Eden would ‘likely grow out of it in time and just to keep up with topical steroids’.
‘It was extremely red, hot and so sore for her and she kept pointing to her face and saying “owie” – it was so hard seeing her in pain like that,’ she said
Desperate to find a solution, Ms Caruana, who already used some of the popular Eco by Sonya Driver products, said she recently saw some eczema success stories on the brand’s website and decided to try the ‘Glory Oil’ on Eden.
‘Luckily I already had some as I use the whole Eco range on my face and the Glory Oil is my favourite. I put it on her and she didn’t scream, she smiled at me and gave me a look like when you put something cooling on a sunburn,’ Ms Caruana said.
‘Within 30 – 45 minutes the redness had significantly decreased and by the next morning there was only a small pale area of eczema left.
‘The Glory Oil keeps her eczema from being inflamed for days and I put more on her maybe three times a week.’
Described by the brand as a ‘miraculous night and day treatment oil’, the all-natural product is designed to reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines and restore skin to its original state
Ms Caruana said her little girl is now much happier, has stopped ‘crying in pain’ all the time and asks for the oil to be applied whenever she feels any pain returning.
‘Whenever she starts to get sore, she comes to me and says “face, face” and points to the oil,’ Ms Caruana said.
‘My advice to any other families dealing with eczema is to reduce or remove any products with perfumes or chemicals from their child’s skin care and take a chance on Glory Oil.
‘If it doesn’t work for your child, the bonus is that you can use it as part of your own night time skin care routine! It’s amazing!’
She’s not the first to rave about the oil, with many Australian adults also using the oil on scars, rosacea, psoriasis and their own eczema flare ups with great success (pictured)
