Aveeno Eczema Therapy Daily Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin, Soothing Lotion With Colloidal Oatmeal
Eczema, according to Chiu, is a condition "characterized by irritated, chronically itchy skin," and it can be notoriously finicky and difficult to treat. She (along with many of our experts) advises eczema patients to consult with their dermatologist before using any prescription products. In the absence of a prescription, Chiu, Idriss, and Levin (who claims to have eczema herself) all recommend using Aveeno Eczema Therapy Daily Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin, Soothing Lotion With Colloidal Oatmeal on eczema-related dry skin. "It's fragrance-free, enriched with ceramides and oatmeal — oatmeal is known to be really helpful for people with eczema because it helps calm inflammation — and it's extremely long-lasting," Idriss explains. This lotion also contains glycerin, which Levin describes as "not only a powerhouse ingredient because it really knows how to pull in water, but it's not greasy." That latter detail, Levin adds, may be especially appealing to eczema sufferers like herself because they "are so used to using greasy stuff that they actually tolerate and enjoy this one." Furthermore, Aveeno made this lotion a little liquidy, allowing it to blend quickly and smoothly into the skin without the constant kneading required by some thicker lotions.
