Mother whose eczema was so severe she had to vacuum her bed every day to remove dead skin claims a £12 lotion cleared up the condition OVERNIGHT

  • EXCLUSIVE Sue O'Brien suffered with severe eczema all over her body
  • Said that no skin product nor medication had made a difference  
  • Would have to vacuum her bed each morning to clear up skin flakes
  • Began using MooGoo's £12 suplher moisturiser and saw results within a day  

A mother who had to vacuum her bed daily to remove skin she had scratched off during the night claims she is now 'healed' after using a £12 lotion.

Sue O'Brien, 34, from Enniscorthy, Ireland, suffered from severe eczema on her face and body her entire life and no product or medication she tried would get rid of the peeling, inflamed and red-raw skin. 

'My skin went to hell in the last four to five years as my family and I moved from one country to another and I had a baby who is two now,' said Sue.

'I have had steroid creams and tablets, bleach baths and hospital appointments in efforts to fix my skin. Nothing ever worked.'

This was until Sue spotted an Australian-made product made with an organic sulphur called MSM at her local pharmacy and decided to give it a go.

'Since day one of trying MooGoo's Soothing MSM Cream, everything stopped itching and got better,' said Sue.

'I am certain this was due to the cream since I had purposely stopped using steroids for a good year and a half previously.

'To quote my husband "Blimey! That cream has worked some kind of miracle hasn't it?".'

Sue admitted that her skin condition was so bad she would previously have to vacuum her bed each morning to get rid of the flakes of skin she had 'scratched off' during the night

The mother-of-two later combined the use of MooGoo's Irritable Skin Balm, £12.50, and her condition continued to improve.

The Soothing MSM Moisturiser, said to be packed with organic sulphur, a natural anti-inflammatory compound and Irritable Skin Balm, is a natural chemical free balm that sells one every minute worldwide.

After seeing the results of these products, Sue has regained her confidence and freedom to live the life she once thought she would never have.

She continued: 'My eczema made me feel pathetic when I would go out in public - but also somehow indifferent, almost like I had accepted that this was how my life was going to be.

The mother-of-two said that she felt resigned to her condition and didn't believe it would ever improve after years of ineffective medication and steroids. Pictured with son George

'Now, I can finally turn my neck without skin pulling and hurting, and I can wear clothes that show my arms and legs. I can also wear makeup again.

'Mostly, I don't have to vacuum my bed every day because of the peeling and scratching of my skin.

'I will be looking to try the shampoo soon! I also want to try the extra boost serums I have seen.'

The MooGoo team found out about Sue's success when she contacted the company. She said she wanted to spread the word to help others.

'Thank you so much for letting me tell you about this,' she said. 'I can't quite tell you how much better my life has become, I am starting to feel more like myself again and I can never repay that.'  

THE MAN BEHIND THE MIRACLE MOOGOO PRODUCTS  

Craig Jones hit upon his lightning-bolt idea when his mother started using a balm that is sometimes applied to cows' udders if they are chafed from milking.

What if the former RAAF pilot could take the 'thick, pasty cream' his mother was using for her psoriasis and turn it into a marketable product for men, women and children with eczema and skin problems?

According to Craig, from New South Wales, when his mum started using udder balm to relieve her psoriasis, he knew there was something in the idea:

'It was super thick and pasty, so I took a tub home and learned how to make it so that it absorbed much more quickly,' he told FEMAIL.

'Before we even started selling it, I began calling the brand 'Moogoo' and dubbed the lotion 'Udder Cream'. It sounded a bit crass to my mother, but friends would drop by and take some home in their own little jars.

'Eventually, I realised I was spending a lot of time making the product and so I quit my day job as a pilot in the RAAF.'

Today, Craig's skin products - including creams for eczema, shampoos for people with scalp problems and natural deodorants - retail in 2,500 pharmacies around the world, and countless different countries.

Turnover is estimated at $20 million, and an eczema cream sells every two minutes.
