    FYI the wash cleanser contains parabens if that concerns you at all (I personally avoid them)

    • -2

      What’s a good non paraben cream you recommend?

    • +20

      This is for people suffering from actual skin conditions not people just scared of big words they saw on Tik Tok.

        • EWG are pseudoscience conspiracy theory website that spreads misinformation and fear in order to promote their paid 'EWG Approved' label. They are not a legitimate source of information.

          Should You Be Avoiding Parabens? The Science. Lab Muffin Beauty Science

            @RubysResource: Lab Muffin is biased pseduoscience shilling for cosmetic companies that spreads misinformation about the safety of ingredients in cosmetics in order to receive money and free sh1t from those cosmetic companies both directly through sponsorships and through affiliate linked products she shills on those companies' behalf. This is not a legitimate source of information.

            • +1

              @tenpercent: The information in the linked post from Lab Muffin aligns with the scientific consensus, as can be verified by checking other sources with relevant expertise like the SCCS, CIR, and NICNAS.

              The difference is that those other sources are writing for readers with a background in industrial regulations and understanding of advanced toxicological concepts, with many words used in those safety assessments having different meanings than they do in everyday speech. Michelle on the other hand has a decade of experience explaining science to high schoolers, and writes her articles for the general public.

              When I'm posting in a public forum where readers of varying educational background are present, I link Michelle's articles because they're easier for the everyday person to understand.

              • @RubysResource: Your first link is about one specific paraben (there are many). In their summary of dermal absorption they refer to pigs used in one study as "volunteers" (which automatically throws into question the rest of the report if they are so sloppy as to refer to non-consenting animals as "volunteers"). I won't bother poking holes in the rest of it (or rather your interpretation of it) because it is similar to the next two.

                Your second link highlights on the second page serious significant concerns which indicate harms (in rat models) and which they suggest requires further research to understand if that translates to humans (are you signing up for that study? I kid; chances are the required studies haven't even been funded). I.e. there is not enough information to conclude these chemicals are safe.

                The third link mentions estrogenic activity of various parabens in rat models and goes on to say "The available data do not indicate any risks associated with exposure to the chemicals in this group", but that is mainly because of a lack of research and studies rather than any studies which have shown these chemicals to be safe. Remember, an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

                Wow she was a highschool science teacher. /s
                Does that negate the financial bias evident on her Lab Muffin affiliate marketing blog?

        you can buy Sukin which is gentle and doesnt contain potential nasties

        • +4

          Sukin products, while marketed as natural and free from harsh chemicals, do contain phenoxyethanol, a preservative, which is a controversial ingredient due to potential health concerns. 
          Skin exposure to phenoxyethanol has been linked to allergic reactions ranging from eczema and hives to anaphylaxis.
          QV wash seems to work better than Sukin for sensitive skin but worth trying the Moogoo wash.

          • +4

            @skdreams: Lots of their stuff also has essential oils which can be super irritating

  • +4

    Thanks OP. Redwin Sorbolene Wash is a great alternative too, $6 when on sale.

  • How do these compare to other brands (cost and quality)?

    • +7

      My view is that it is expensive for what it is and won’t cut the mustard if you have a particularly bad condition. On the upside it has a good consistency and foams well - more like a “normal” body wash -when similar alternatives are thick and weird.

      • Thanks

      • +1

        Yeah it foams well compared to cetaphil

      • I wash my hands a lot and others dry my hands out quickly (including dermeze. dermaveen etc). QV is much better in this regard. Yes it means it is an expensive hand wash; my partner uses the $3 aldi 1L stuff.

  • Just a heads up - the lotion contains cetearyl alcohol which breaks a lot of people out. Most people handle it fine but it's worth knowing.

    • +3

      Surprisingly, the QV Lotion helped with my son's eczema on his hand. CeraVe didn't work, but one Pharmacist suggested QV instead as they thought it was more gentle, and it actually worked. My son's skin can be a bit sensitive, so we try to use more gentler products. Might give Moogoo a try.

      • +2

        Cerave is all hype. QV ceramides ftw

        • +1

          QV ceramides are also 1/2 price.

    • -1

      If you're using this on your face you have a problem

  • Is this better than Oil of Ulan?

    • Not to be confused with Oil of Uleh, cuz.

  • +3

    Gentle Wash is great, use it in the shower and as face cleanser :~)

  • +2

    I use gentle wash as body wash and hand soap. Good stuff

  • Waiting for the QV cream to go on sale.

    • They usually are but not featured in the catalogue. Hopefully QV cream 1kg will be $19.50.

    • +1

      QV cream is also 1/2 price.

  • +3

    Great price, cheaper than Chemist Warehouse (equivalent price $18.39/L), I will pick some up, cheers OP

    • If you can't get for 1/2 price, pick it up from CW any time.

      I'll grab a 1L bottle if I'm at Coles AND remember.

      It's good for the family when we go on holiday, saves bringing different products. Can use it for both the face and body.

      At home, we use Dove bodywash for the umm body and QV for the face.

      • Yeah, I always buy from CW, the Coles price is a fair bit sharper, so keen to buy there this week for the increased saving.

  • -2

    Shrunk in size of the years also liquid is more diluted, not same as it used to be.

    • +3

      Don't agree.

      You're thinking about Chemist Warehouse who have the exclusive 1.25L bottle.

      I can't say it's more diluted than the past.

      • +2

        Agree, been using for years, I haven't noticed any changes either.

  • +2

    The best body and face wash. Also always the first thing the dermatologist says if you present with a skin condition “Try using only QV to wash yourself with”.

    • how does Cetaphil compare?

      lot of people recommending Moogoo so i might try that

      • +2

        I haven’t had any of my family be recommended to use it by dermatologists but we’ve tried a couple of versions of Cetaphil wash again in recent years and I think it’s a decent second place imo. My 19 y.o. daughter says she likes them around the same but agrees the doctors tend to recommend QV.

  • +1

    It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again

    • It does what it is told

  • +3

    1/2 price for the QV skincare range including ceramides and face (except baby). I've updated the post.

  • +1

    Great deal, why Amazon don't price match these
