I have had eczema and allergies all my life. If you were to ask me what I'm allergic to, I'd tell you life. The past 2 years, my eczema has gone crazy. I feel like I have tried absolutely everything to get some relief. Topical creams, steroids, light therapy, benadryl, repeat. Sure those things work, but after a while it seemed like they just weren't doing the trick anymore. Eczema has made me so self conscious about my skin and it is so exhausting trying to keep it under control. A dear friend of mine and her daughter introduced me to Warrior level 4 and the soap. Long story short, I am obsessed. It truly has made a difference with the itch, redness and overall texture of my skin. Just the way it makes my skin feel and not tearing my skin apart every second of the day has been amazing. Not to mention it smells like fall in a bottle!! It is definitely a must have for me now. Where has this been all my life?! So thank you to Nina G and her mom for introducing me to these products and of course Alywillow!!!

I've had skin issues since childhood. Diagnosed as eczema (atopic dermatitis), my parents treated it with calamine lotion. As an adult, dermatologists prescribed topical corticosteroids and non-steroidals for use "as needed" - multiple times a day on most of my body. I used anti dandruff shampoos, the mildest soaps I could find, and "therapeutic" dry skin cream. Doctors were treating symptoms (only) with pharmaceuticals (only). They did not understand root causes or natural remedies. My skin was becoming increasingly fragile.
I began a serious effort to eliminate chemicals from my diet and my environment in 2018. I used diluted baking soda followed by diluted vinegar rinse instead of shampoo. I avoided detergents. Things were better, but just slightly. It was becoming clear to me that over-the-counter "dermatologist recommended" products and pharmaceuticals might actually be causing some problems. In September 2021 I consulted my dermatologist. Fragile skin was dismissed as a normal side effect from the pharmaceuticals. I resolved to find natural products.
My search led me to Channa, who introduced me to Alywillow. By the start of 2022 I was using Alywillow Shimmer Hair-Wash, Vegan Cleansers for hand washing and bathing, and a variety of Alywillow moisturizers. The transformation over the next several months was impressive. My use of pharmaceuticals reduced to weekly applications on a few small spots only if/as needed. My skin is tougher. I have no dandruff. Itching is rare and limited. In short, my skin is pretty much normal. After a lifetime of suffering, my skin issues are resolved.
In September 2020, I was diagnosed with Stage 1A breast cancer. The treatment was a lumpectomy and radiation therapy. The radiation oncologist offered me samples of a cream that they normally give out to their patients but I told them I was using Alywillow Warrior Level 4 and had been for years. I even gave the doctor a pamphlet I just happened to have with me. ;-) After the surgery to remove the tumor and one lymph node (to see if the cancer had spread - it didn't), my doctors are very impressed with the way I have healed. The scar from where the lymph node was removed is all but invisible and the scar from where the tumor was removed was healed in two weeks with no pain or swelling. During radiation therapy, I did have some irritation under my left breast (that was to be expected), but it was minimal and was gone within a week. Whenever the doctors would ask me what I used on my skin, I would say Alywillow Warrior Formula Level 4. I realize my results are not typical but I had to let you know what Warrior has done for me during what could have been a difficult period in my life. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Wanda! We are so happy to hear that Warrior was able to help you and give you some relief during such a difficult time.
My skin can be very funny. Over the years, I've had a couple of dermatologists tell me on a good day I'm allergic to air. I never really know how I will react to something until I try it. I've used Alywillow products for many years now and Warrior is the formula I keep coming back to. Whenever my skin feels like it wants to break out (especially with seasonal allergies), I just use Warrior and it knocks it right out. Level 4 works best for me and I use it everyday as soon as I step out of the shower. My skin has never felt or better.
