I received this product to trial with perfect timing. My 1 yr old son has terribly dry, irritated skin especially all over his back and tummy and i was actually looking for a new product to try on him as our current one seemed to be only irritating him further. I have been using the QV kids balm on him after every bath since i received it and so far im quite impressed. Already his skin is noticeably softer and not quite as dry, i love how its not your typical “lotion” type cream and it really seems to leave a good barrier on his sensitive skin. I have also used it on less troublesome spots behind his knees and in he elbow creases. So far so good im very impressed
Have used my QV on my children and even on my hands as they get very dry in this weather and I can say I like it very much it has helped with my childrens dry skin especially that it has not caused any irritation on my daughters sensitive skin love it well done QV.
After receiving this product, my 8 year old daughters excema flared up and we have been using it every day since. Although it hasn’t taken away the excema, she loves having the QV Kids balm put on as it doesn’t sting like the expensive creams we have to get rid of the red rash. It is nice to have a product that soothes and doesn’t make her feel worse.
I wish I was able to test drive this product. My 9 year old son suffers badly every winter with dry chapped lips.
Hi Lisa, If you would like to test drive this product, please go to the test drive sign up, fill in your details and make note of this product and we will get it sent out to you ASAP!
Love QV
i agree i havent tried this one my son has exczema and my daughter gets really dry legs and tummy it would be nice to see how it works for her as she is just starting to have problems with dry skin.
Thank you for letting me be part of a trial team. I love this product! My son always gets very dry skin in winter and after using QV balm it’s all gone. It’s great-doesn’t smell and is very easy to rub on the little ones, plus my son is a fan of looney toones. I used it myself on my hands as they always suffer in winter and I prefer it to my hand creme. Thank you again!
I would love to test drive this – my 11 month old daughter is getting very dry skin & some red patches
I signed up for test drive months ago but still haven’t heard anything – mores the pity as your stuff sounds really good
Hi Gabrielle,
We have you slotted in for QV Face Exfoliating Polish which will run in January 2011. We apologise for not being in contact before now but we have had an overwhelming response to our test drive and we are getting out systems into place to be able to communicate with everyone. Please bear with us as we work through everyone and look out for something in the post from us! LoveQV
This was just brilliant on my son’s dry skin! He has swimming lessons and the water always dries his skin afterwards and with winter it always gets worse as the cold weather goes on. This product was just fantastic, great timing to send it for tetsing QV! Will definitely buy this when the tube I have runs out! QV never disappoints
I absolutely love this product! Like Sarah, my daughter gets dry skin after her swimming lesson each week, plus when she’s teething, her cheeks get red and dry. QV Kids Balm works wonders on her! It’s an amazing product and I’l definitely be recommending it among my mothers group friends! Thanks QV!
Its great to be able to test products that youre not sure are going to work, especially if youre kids have excema or itchy/dry skin problems.
QV kids works great on my son who has contact rashes/heat excema where his clothing is tight on his skin. His skin becomes very dry and sore and he even asks for the qv to be put on.
My niece however has used the cream as well and they have had no positive results. Nothing bad but she gets no relief. However saying that most of the high strength cortisol creams dont help either as her excema is quite severe in flare ups. So it would have been great if you had a product that “beat” the prescription creams, but saying that every “body” is different.
Well done on a great product
I would love to test drive this product PLEASE!! for my 2yr ols son suffers from dry skin and eczema..
My kids did the test drive on this product for their itchy skin which breaks out in excema from time to time. The balm is very soothing and is as good at treating (if not better) than the super-expensive ointment that their paediatrician would prescribe. I would actually buy it in a larger size if was available as with 2 kids, it will get used up quickly.
I absolutely love this product. My daughter suffers badly from ezcema which will often flare up if product in a disposable while away with her grandparents. The one application of the qv balm and it was dramatically better the next day. I have even used it as a preventive measure before she goes. My husbands ezcema is extremely bad at the moment and we tried in on him- thankgod for the no sting, because the itching was driving him crazy
I started using QV Kids balm on my baby’s dry face and it cleared it up so quickly. She didn’t cry when it was applied, unlike other creams or lotions. My 12 year old twins also use this balm on their eccema with fantastic results. I would highly recommend this product for babies and children.
The only negatives I see with the product are: 1. it is not an organic product, and 2. it has a petrochemical smell to it… sort of like petroleum jelly, which is not pleasant.
I would like to test drive this, my 2 year old is showing signs of dry skin especially after swimming.
HI Leanne, Send us your details and we will add you to our list
LoveQV
I’ve been using this product on eczema and found it impressive. It provides an effective barrier and long lasting moisture. The best part is it’s fragrance free so it doesn’t sting or exacerbate inflamed skin. It soothed red, itchy skin really well. Recommended.
This product was great for dry skin on hands. Only negative would be that it felt a bit tacky and didn’t seem to absorb that well.
I thought this would be great for winter time dry skin that my two little guys could use after footy etc. As it turns out they found it really greasy and didn’t like the feel of it against their pyjamas.
This product definitely works! My 9 year old sister has very dry skin from being exposed to the wind and she does not moisturise frequently. After applying the balm, her skin became smoother.
The only negative thing I have found about this product is: it is difficult to get the balm out of the tube (it involves a lot of squeezing).
1st reaction from the kids when we opened it was they loved the cartoon characters. I Loved the feel of it so did the kids – although it is a little hard to get out og the lid so we have been taking the lid off to use it. Apart from that – amazing
A MILLION THANKS!!!I received the QV KIDS BALM a couple of days ago. My poor husband has suffered with extremely dry skin for the past 20 years or so, and I must admit we have tried every single product on the market!! Mostly to no avail! BUT HEY PRESTO this morning he came out after his morning shower saying how good his skin is feeling!! To begin with he thought it may be a little heavy on his face, but after putting a tiny amount on and rubbing it in well, he has only needed to use it in the mornings. He loves it, so from my big “Kid” A HUGE THANKYOU…HE LOVES IT, AND NOW, SO DO I!!!
Great timing QV , got the cream & my three year old son is feeling the effects of the dry winter weather. Cream is good for everywhere, but especially his face is very dry & wind burnt, great stuff & he loves to help himself & put it on, he loves the characters on the tube. Only problem I do have is that it is so thick it seems hard to squeeze out of the tube, but other than that THANKS , great stuff.
I received the QV Kids balm to try out and I have given it to my daughter Alyce and her son as they both have very sensitive skin. Alyce is impressed with the balm and has found that it quickly adds moisture to the troublesome dry areas that bother them both. Good work QV and thanks!
Have eczema around my ankles and the constant wearing of my Ugg boots make it worse. Used the QV kids balm and it is great. The skin is now soft and very little eczema remaining.
My son, husband and I all have very dry skin and mild psoriasis. This balm has made such a difference to us and we will definitely be buying it. There is only one ‘criticism’ and that is it is very difficult to squeeze out of the tube, especially in this cold weather. Thanks QV for such a terrific product!
I found the Balm to be a little oil to the touch when first applyed but as it was absorbed it did wonders for reddness relief and the dryness. seemed to meld the dry skin back into normal looking skin in no time at all. Will be buying this from now on.
thanks heaps
This was really good on the girls skin, didn’t leave a oily residue like some products do on their skin, will definately be using this one again
The QV Kids Balm has been lovely to use in the cold weather we have been having lately! It goes on very smoothly, you only need a small amount, its soothing and cooling, it’s not filled with silly perfume smells, and it’s great for windburn (as we found out tonight). My children do love the characters on the tube (we are also long time users of the Kids Soap Free Wash, which is fantastic). Thanks for including us in the review team for this, it has been great to use and surprisingly effective.
I have no idea why I was included on this test drive. No in my family particularly suffers from excema or dry skin conditions. I am using the product as a handcream for myself. It works, I guess. So do a million other handcreams. I don’t like the fact that it is a petroleum based product, and it is very hard to squeeze from the tube, and has an unpleasant smell. I wouldn’t use it on my children at all.
I attend 3 sessions of aquarobics per week and at this time of year find my skin itchy after each session. I now smooth on QV Kids Balm on after each session, and have found instant relief.
Thank you for allowing me to test this product.
I tries this product firstly on my grandchildren then on myself. The kids don’t have any eczema problems and thought the balm was too sticky. However I found it good for my rough winter skin once it was massaged into the skin thoroughly. Thank you.
I have no children but I myself and my husband have been using the QV Kids Balm for our dry skin. It has worked better than any other moisturiser that we have used before. We will be purchasing it in future. Thankyou for the opportunity to trial this product.
I have several friends who’s children have sensitive skin, I found that QV Kids Balm has done wonders for them, their skin is no longer itchy and flaky. Many thanks. I have also tried it on my own skin and have found that my skin is becoming less irrigated. Once again Thank you for giving me the opportunity of testing this product.
I used the balm as a handcream, and it worked wonders. Dry and itchy skin went soft over night. I then tried it on my cracked heals. Applied generous at night and covered in socks, and after 3 nights; a VERY GOOD result. Have tried all kinds of expensive creams earlier, but none have worked as good as this. Highly rcomended, I will NOT stop using it.
I normally use other cream for both my boys ezcema but now they love the tweety tube and both of their inflamed areas are going down. I think also the travel size is great as I take it with me in the car and have it nice and handy. Great work QV.
I have a 13 yo daughter who is a typical red headed girl with very dry skin. She has been test driving QV Kids & absolutely loves it! She has told me that her skin is no longer flakey or itchy & she loves how when she has rubbed it on her skin, there is no oily residue…her skin seems to absorb it all in. Thankyou for the great opportunity to test drive this remarkable product!
Easily and quickly absorbed – ideal for wriggling toddlers. I definitely would recommend this for toddlers with dry skin.
My 1 year old suffers from psoriasis so am really careful on what goes onto his skin. The QV Kids balm was great and will definitely purchase in the future. We used it after a bath so he also got to enjoy a massage which he loves. I found it absorbed easily into the skin, and left his skin so soft and smooth. It is fragrance free and colour free which I liked and I have to admit I also loved using it on my dry hands. Worked a treat. It has fun packaging so you definitely know the product is aimed at kids.
The QV balm was easy to apply and soaked easily into the skin. The texture is also quite thick but it does not leave the skin sticky or oily. Loved the balm!
I love the thick texture, it so creamy and pleasant to rub into the skin. I like that it soaks in and doesnt leave any residue and the kids seem to really like it too, they have dry skin and this is nice to use on it.
Thanks for the sample…wow full size too…just in time for my sons dry winter skin, works great but a bit hard to squeeze out of the tube. Thanks again, will use it alot.
What a fantastic product! just days after it arriving we were hit with a cold snap and lots of windy weather,.My 3yr old daughter gets wind burn on her cheeks so badly she looks like she has painted red circles on with blush! I was amazed to find that by using the QV balm morning and night we cleared up the wind burn and prevented her from getting anymore. We also used it on both our 3yr old and 4 month old daughters noses when they came down with a cold. It protected the delicate skin on and under their noses from the constant tissue wiping!! A great product and one I recommend all mums have on hand!!
Hi, I recieved QV Kids Balm In the mail to test.
I have very dry skin and I live in Darwin at this time of year with Southerly winds and very dry climate. My young Daughter suffers the same very dry skin. Well we both have Tested it and love the product, I like the fact it’s not greasy and oily. It get’s into my skin and feels fantastic. We recommended and love this product for kids and HEY don’t forget us Adults too Hee hee.
My daughter tends to get rashes and spots from time to time.I am wrapped with the results the
QV Kids Balm to her skin.It works a treat.Both Mum and daughter are very pleased with QV Kids Balm.We will definitely be buying it when this tube runs out.
What a perfect product for me to be able to test drive on my newborn baby girl! Every since she was born she has had very dry skin that was peeling over most of her little body. So after giving this a go on her I have seen really great results. I mainly apply this to her after a bath so that it can absorb more into her skin. I found it to be very gentle on her newborn skin. It didn’t irritate it and absorbed quite quickly without leaving her skin with that oily feeling. I liked that there was no overpowering smell to this product and that the packaging was fun for young kids.
It also feels nice and is doing well for my hands as I leave it on after massaging it into her skin.
