Avance Ruamit Instagel - #28376
I am really seeking some help here. My daughter has been dealing with really dry skin, and I've tried a ton of lotions and creams, but nothing seems to work! Just last week, a friend recommended Avance Ruamit Instagel, saying it helped her kid with similar skin issues. I was super hopeful and rushed out to buy it, but honestly, I'm not sure if it's doing anything. Her skin still looks flaky and feels rough, even after using the Avance Ruamit Instagel for a few days. I’m worried I’m just wasting time and money on this. Should I give the Avance Ruamit Instagel more time or is it just not right for her? Up until now, I’ve been reading various reviews online — some swear by it, while others say it’s just okay. Plus, has anybody else noticed any side effects? My daughter is really sensitive to some products and I don’t want to end up making her skin worse! I just want something that actually works without a ton of extra chemicals in it. Also, any tips on using the Avance Ruamit Instagel effectively? Am I applying it right? Should it be used after a shower or before bed? I’m kinda all over the place here, and I just really hope to find a solution fast! Thanks for any advice you can give!

Doctors’ responses
Evaluating dry skin conditions requires understanding underlying causes, such as possible dosha imbalances. From an Ayurvedic perspective, Vata dosha—characterized by its dryness and roughness—can significantly contribute to dry skin. Applications like Avance Ruamit Instagel might offer temporary relief but may not address deeper imbalances. If you see no improvement after a few days, it could be that the product isn’t fully aligned with your daughter’s specific needs.
Look for natural products minimizing exposure to harsh chemicals. Consider trying moisturizer with natural oils like sesame or almond; they nourish and balance Vata, lending moisture and softness. Use these right after a shower when the skin is warm and pores open so they can absorb nutrients more efficiently. Gently applying oil in circular motions, enhances absorption and should be done once or twice daily for best effects.
Re side effects, individual reactions vary. If any irritation or redness occurs, discontinue immediate use and consult a healthcare provider. Sensitivity to products can sometimes indicate an imbalance or a need for more comprehensive lifestyle adjustments. Botton line, focus on hydration: drinking warm water throughout the day and reducing cold, dry, and raw foods. Favor cooked meals with healthy fats like ghee, aiding internal moisture and digestion. External remedies alone are sometimes not sufficient—always consider holistic changes.
When practical, engage in routine skin massages (‘abhyanga’) using warm, herbalized oils to further soothe and hydrate. It’s possible to feel overwhelmed, but through applying tailored Ayurvedic strategies, you’re taking steps towards supporting your daughter’s skin health more fundamentally. If there’s no improvement, consult with a practitioner to explore treatment customized for her dosha type and overall constitution.
Finding the right solution for dry skin can feel like a daunting journey, especially when your daughter is sensitive to products. If you’ve been using the Avance Ruamit Instagel for only a few days, it’s important to recognize that some products, including skin treatments, may require more time to show improvements. However, if after one or two weeks there’s no noticeable change, reconsider its use as it might not be the most effective solution for her.
In Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, addressing dry skin isn’t just about external application; it involves balancing the doshas, specifically the vata dosha. Dry skin often indicates excess vata, which can be countered through internal and external means. Ensure she’s staying hydrated and includes healthy fats in her diet, like ghee or olive oil.
Externally, using natural oils can be beneficial. Consider applying a mild, warm sesame oil to her skin before a warm shower. This practice helps nourish and retain moisture. Avance Ruamit Instagel might contain components that either work or potentially irritate sensitive skin, so watching for any side effects is wise.
When using any gel or cream, apply immediately after a shower while the skin is still damp to lock in moisture. Generally, once per day is appropriate unless otherwise directed.
If the skin doesn’t improve, and especially if you notice adverse reactions, consult a healthcare professional to rule out serious underlying conditions. Sometimes, persistent dryness could indicate something more, so professional advice ensures no critical symptoms are overlooked.
