You've been told it's "just eczema." You've cycled through creams that work until they don't. Maybe you've reached the point where the treatment itself — long-term topical steroid use — has become part of what you're trying to untangle.
Chronic, treatment-resistant eczema is different from an occasional flare, and it deserves an approach that treats it that way — one that looks at what's driving the inflammation, not just what's suppressing it this week.
For a lot of people, eczema responds reasonably well to topical treatment. This page isn't primarily for them.
It's for the people whose eczema has become a longer, more complicated story — years of flares, escalating treatment, skin that reacts to less and less, or skin that's becoming increasingly reliant on topical steroids to stay calm. Some people in this position are exploring what's known as Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) — a recognised phenomenon where skin can react strongly after long-term steroid use is reduced or stopped.
This is genuinely complex territory, and it isn't something to navigate alone or without your prescribing doctor involved. What we offer is support for the skin itself — barrier repair, inflammation regulation and comfort — alongside a deeper look at what's keeping your skin's inflammatory pattern switched on.
If you are currently reducing or considering reducing prescribed topical steroids, please do this in consultation with your dermatologist or GP. Stopping steroid treatment abruptly or without medical guidance can carry real risks.
We don't ask you to choose between calming the skin now and understanding why it keeps reacting. Chronic, complex eczema needs both.
Topically, compromised, reactive skin needs formulations built for it specifically — barrier-repairing, non-irritating, designed to support comfort without adding to the reactivity.
Beneath the surface, longer-term change means understanding the inflammatory and immune patterns driving your skin's reactivity — and, where relevant, supporting your skin through the process of reducing dependence on topical steroids, in step with your treating doctor.
This is the foundation of the Skin Reset Methodology™, developed by Dr Irene Prantalos (Chinese Medicine) from more than 20 years combining Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern understanding of inflammatory skin conditions — including extensive clinical work with chronic eczema and TSW specifically.
Individual results vary. The Skin Reset Methodology™ is designed to support skin health, comfort and barrier function during a genuinely difficult process — it does not cure eczema, and it is not a substitute for care from your dermatologist or GP, particularly where prescribed medication is involved.
Chronic eczema and TSW both involve skin in a heightened inflammatory state. Our approach supports the body's own calming processes through botanical care, nutrition considerations and stress regulation — building toward a calmer skin environment, especially through a difficult stretch.
This is often the most urgent need in chronic and steroid-affected eczema. Long-term steroid use and repeated flares can leave the barrier significantly compromised. Our formulations are built to nourish and support barrier repair without added irritants.
A disrupted skin ecosystem can heighten sensitivity and slow recovery. Gentle, barrier-supportive formulation helps maintain a more balanced environment for skin to do its own repairing.
Eczema-prone and TSW-affected skin often reacts strongly to triggers that wouldn't otherwise cause a response. Understanding your specific pattern is central to a plan that actually holds through the process.
The goal is skin — and a system — that can eventually hold steady without constant intervention. That's a longer road for chronic and steroid-affected eczema than for an occasional flare, and we treat it with that level of seriousness.
Across more than 20 years in clinical practice, Dr Irene Prantalos (Chinese Medicine) has worked extensively with people navigating chronic eczema — including the particularly difficult territory of topical steroid withdrawal, an area many practitioners are unfamiliar with and few skincare brands are equipped to speak to at all.
That depth of clinical experience — combined with her qualification in Chinese Medicine and its long-standing view of skin as connected to the body's broader inflammatory and immune balance — is what the Skin Reset Methodology™ is built from.
This describes Dr Irene's professional experience and the origin of the methodology. It is not a claim about the outcome any individual can expect. Chronic eczema and TSW recovery timelines and experiences vary significantly between people, and ongoing medical supervision matters throughout.
