I went on Wellwoman plus two weeks ago and my hair and skin (both really dry) looked amazing after just a few days!
I did seem to go a bit hormonally crazy though so have stopped taking them for a month whilst I recover from being a bit poorly. I will consider them again in future though as I did look so much better after taking them.

What's in it?  Why would it affect your hormones  :-\ .......  do you keep a mood/food/symptom diary?

That's what I thought Ckld, but when I ran that comment by my urologist this morning he said this bacteria absolutely has to be treated. It's a nasty one apparently :(

I took Pharma Nord Omega 7 sea buckthorn caps for months and they made a big difference to how hydrated my skin felt and I think they helped with VA to a degree - but I'm afraid in my case I needed HRT to reduce the soreness and irritation. Systemic estrogen turned things around for me and I could better tolerate vaginal HRT.

I could see the seabuckthorn was working because I started on the loading dose and the skin on my hands - very roughened from all the handwashing - became smooth and hydrated within about 4-5 days. I stopped needing to use handcream and rough patches on my knees and elbows improved.

Coming to this very late...for dry itchy scalp I find Philip Kingsley flaky, itchy scalp shampoo and toner work well. Can get it online and in stores. It is pricey but you don't need much. Nothing else works for me. I have very thick hair so my scalp is deep in the thickets!
