Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes and the Toad confirmed my idea that the name change only 'took' in Europe. Olay/Ulay has been around for very many years and is generally regarded here as old fashioned but good quality. I can't be sure the formula is the same for you as the European brand but would assume so. Good Luck!

Kind of like Usama and Osama.

Funny how some things work for some people and other stuff doesnt. I tried Oil of Ulay a few years ago, it was like insta-itch cream. Nivea on the other hand I found quite helpful

Yes, and have you seen Joanna Luverly Lumleys advertising Astra? I always found it dense and heavy, sort of axle grease, but she has genuinely used it forever and she has ab fabulous skin. Takes all sorts.

I would interested in whether anyone finds success with Olay/Ulay

Well, I had my worst eczema itching ever over the weekend. It actually hit me after I rode to work late last week thwen an hour or so Saturday morning followed by 31/2 hours of hell Sunday morning from 3:30am when I woke up sweating. Things had been getting progressively worse through the heat/ humidity and absurd levels of work related stress. I'll finish a round of prednisone tomorrow. I'm going to my doc tonight. I'm thinking its time to see an allergist. I may be screwed on my plan to ride the MS 150 this weekend as well.

Have you tried that Elidel stuff yet? Do the benefits outweigh the side effects profile?

Clodfobble · 08-16-2005, 03:48 PM

My stepson has no side effects from Elidel. But then again, he might be using a lower concentration than they give adults, and/or not have to use it frequently enough to warrant side effects (we just use it as an occasional spot-treatment.)

Looks like a reaction to the quinine I've been taking. We're gonna try zantec for a while to see if that helps with my prior problems. Blood tests coming to rule out liver causing itching.
