Hopes Relief is a natural herbal and homeopathic non-steroidal cream, which effectively treats eczema, psoriasis, itchy dry skin, acne rosacea and other forms of dermatitis.

Hopes Relief combines a unique blend of eight potent, natural healing ingredients. Herbal extracts of Calendula, Licorice root and Gotu Kola are combined with soothing Aloe Vera, anti-bacterial Manuka honey and the homeopathic ingredients Sulphur, Rhus tox and Graphites, which are the principal remedies in homeopathy used in treating eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other chronic skin disorders. Applied three to four times daily, Hopes Relief cream has proven itself to be an effective natural alternative to the more intrusive cortisone creams (topical steroids), often prescribed to sufferers.  As there are no petrochemicals or other toxic ingredients in Hopes Relief, it can be absorbed into the skin and is suitable for people of all ages including children and babies.

Jacqueline Hope (creator of Hopes Relief) says:

"My mission was to create an effective, natural alternative to cortisone, for treating such debilitating skin conditions. I used only safe, gentle and skin-friendly ingredients. There are actually eight natural ingredients, but I think the one that makes the point of difference is the licorice root, which has similar properties to cortisone. Hopes Relief cream also includes Manuka honey to treat infection and Aloe Vera to help heal the skin. It's actually outperforming cortisone which is a major breakthrough."

Clinical trials were conducted using Hopes Relief over a period of three months, involving 34 adults and ten children suffering from various skin disorders.  The results showed 93% of cases experiencing significant improvement in their symptoms.  With such strong results, Jacqueline decided to make the cream more widely available and so Hopes Relief cream was launched onto the Australian market in 2003.

The way Hopes Relief treats symptoms of eczema and psoriasis is unique.  Whilst it has excellent skin moisturizing properties, when it comes to the lesions of eczema or psoriasis, it tends to make them dry and flaky, so they flake off and leave clear skin. This process may take just a few days to a few weeks, depending on the severity of condition. If the condition is severe, it is possible that the new skin may be slightly pink at first, but this generally fades over time.

All-natural Hopes Relief cream is now available in a convenient 150 gram tube.  The colour of Hope's is not the conventional white but caramel, reflecting the hue of its natural ingredients. The scent is also unusual, predominantly licorice and honey. It is non-staining and quickly absorbed into the skin with no greasy residue.
