Madison Butler Eczema Cure Interview

MooGoo Cure

Madison Butler, 20, has suffered with eczema since she was a child. She's always struggled with self-confidence because her skin was blotchy, red and raw from the eczema. When she played soccer, it was so bad her knuckles would bleed, and she became really self-conscious of the red, raw and often weeping sores on her skin. The worst was the back of her knees, creases in her elbows and knuckles.

It was also all over her arms and legs and she would get comments from people asking why her skin was so bad. Even on hot days she wore a jumper to cover her arms.

Madison tried everything to clear up her skin – at one point in primary school visiting a Chinese medical clinic and taking 42 tablets a day (21 in the morning and 21 at night).

Nothing worked until she found Australian brand MooGoo (which seems to have developed a cult-like following, with one of their eczema creams being snapped up every two minutes). The $18.50 Eczema and Psoriasis Cream cleared hear skin up almost overnight. She's even wearing singlets now!

Interview with Madison Butler

Question: Can you tell us about how your eczema previously affected you on a daily basis?

Madison Butler: My earliest memory of my eczema is from when I was around 10 years old. I played in a soccer team and it would get so bad that I would have to sit out on training some nights due to my knuckles bleeding and weeping as a result of my scratching. When I have a flare up it is extremely uncomfortable as the skin is cracked, raw, weeping (sometimes bleeding) and uncontrollably itchy. Trying to heal the skin once I have had an episode is also a big task as clothes tend to stick to the skin, irritating it even further.


Question: How did your eczema affect your self-confidence?

Madison Butler: As I have gotten older and more comfortable in my skin I don't tend to worry what other people think anymore, however, when I was between the ages of 12-16 I was extremely self-conscious. I would tend to wear long sleeve shirts or jumpers wherever possible to try and hide the eczema I had on my arms in fear of being judged or having to explain what was wrong with my skin.


Question: How did you previously try and cure your eczema?

Madison Butler: Before MooGoo I had tried Dermatologists, intolerance skin prick testing, Chinese herbal remedies, steroid creams, doctors etc. I used to take 42 herbal tablets per day at one stage!

Question: What results did you see when using MooGoo Eczema and Psoriasis Cream?

Madison Butler: The first time I used MooGoo I had just gotten back from a skiing holiday and the time in the snow was disastrous for my skin. I washed in the shower with the Milk Wash and then lathered on the Eczema and Psoriasis cream while still a little damp. I saw results overnight. I was blown away. The products that I am in constant supply of are: Milk Wash, Milk Cleansing Bar, Eczema and Psoriasis Cream, MSM Soothing Lotion, Full Cream and Skin Milk Moisturizer.


Question: What originally attracted you to MooGoo as a brand?

Madison Butler: I discovered MooGoo through my mum actually. She always likes to bring home new products for me to try on my skin and a chemist had recommended MooGoo. Honestly, I was very hesitant to try the products that she had gotten due to having some bad reactions with other brands in the past. However, I will be forever grateful that I did give MooGoo a go! I also love that the ingredients are all natural and chemical free.


Question: How do you use MooGoo Eczema and Psoriasis Cream?

Madison Butler: I use different MooGoo products depending on how my skin is. I always shower with the Milk Wash and if I have had an episode I will apply the eczema and psoriasis cream while still damp and even follow with MSM soothing lotion if I need to. If my skin is doing well (which it is most of the time now) I will apply either skin milk or full cream moisturiser after a shower.


Question: How has using MooGoo as a treatment helped your self-confidence?

Madison Butler: Since starting using the MooGoo products I have almost total control over my eczema. I no longer feel helpless and frustrated with my body as I know if I do have a bad day or if my skin starts to play up the problem will be solved almost straight away. My skin has never been healthier/happier than it is today, such a relief after around 10 years.
