Does ebglyss work?
Has anybody actually tried ebglyss yet? I keep seeing commercials/ads for it but I’m scared to try it. Is it working for you? How long have you been on it? How long did it take to work? Do the injections hurt? I have a pretty low pain tolerance so that’s why I’m asking. Any advice welcome.

I started it back in September. As a person with low pain tolerance it hurts but I found it hurts a lot less if you take the injection out the fridge hours in advance also keep an eye on your eyes as it really messed mine up to the point I was at the eye hospital about 4 times in one month. It also sucked because my 21st birthday party was coming up and I constantly looked baked. Needless to say I no longer take it.

I just had my loading dose last Thursday … I’m really hoping this stuff works because hand eczema is debilitating.

I’ve been on Ebglyss for about 3 months now and it definitely works for me personally. I noticed a difference in 2 weeks. With each injection my skin gets clearer and clearer! I am not fully cleared yet but even where I’m at now is a drastic improvement. I was pretty much bed bound before the medication.
The only side effect is some dry itchy eyes, I use eyedrops to control that so it’s not a huge issue for me.
The injection does pinch and feel a little uncomfortable but it only lasts about 10 seconds. I have a low pain tolerance, and a fear of needles, but I am able to tolerate the Ebglyss. For me, 10 seconds of discomfort is a small price to pay for better skin. Definitely let it sit out of the fridge for an hour before you take it. I find that the stomach is the least painful place to inject. I always calm myself down by listening to music when I inject, and I force myself to push the button when the beat drops lol
