Aveeno BabyEczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm, Soothes & Relieves Dry, Itchy Skin from Eczema, HSA/FSA Eligible, Hypoallergenic, Fragrance- & Steroid-Free, 11 oz

After wasting money on many supermarket and expensive brands, this is the only one that really works!I don't have eczema, but another friend does, who first told me about this product.I do have dry skin, though, whenever I over wash my hands due to chores, repairs or taking care of family, and the dry indoor heat or coldness of winter weather.My friend with eczema swears by this. She's tried other brands and even prescriptions, which have side effects (steroids thin the skin and is bad for your immunity).When her skin had cracks or is itchy, she applies it, and it heals up within a few days.She uses it also as maintenance daily, to prevent future outbreaks or skin cracking.There's the regular "Aveeno Eczema Therapy" in a tube, but it stings at first if you have any cracks in the skin, which subsides after a few minutes, but it works faster with sealing up cracks.I love this product because it's very rich, but not too greasy.It doesn't sting if you have skin cracks, and is gentler and still works well, but it takes a little bit longer.It's even more effective than the regular "Aveeno Baby Eczema Care" creme in a tube.I prefer jars because there's always some product left in a tube.You can't squeeze out what's left at the bottom, and have to cut the tube apart to get at it.AMAZON HAS THE BEST PRICE, that I've seen online or off.It's also available in the Baby Section only at stores like supermarkets, pharmacies, etc., but this is the lowest price.SUBSCRIBE, and you can save even more.DO NOT BUY ANY GENERICS! They don't work!I've tried buying them, since it looked like they had the same ingredients, and costs less,but they are simply not efficacious.USE WATER TO KEEP MOISTURE IN:Surprisingly enough, it's not the moisturizer per se that keeps your skin hydrated, it's water.For example, think of a grape (full, plump with water, juicy), versus a prune (a dried out grape).Moisturizer provides a physical barrier to keep your skin hydrated.Of course, a moisturizer's ingredients can also make it a superior or inferior product.The Aveeno Eczema line has colloidal oatmeal, which is soothing, and healing to the skin.HOW TO USE WATER WITH MOISTURIZER:Wet the application areas with water first (I run my hands lightly under the tap), so the product will absorb faster (water hydrates when mixed with moisturizer), and it won't be greasy.Your skin will feel non-greasy, and not wet within a few minutes.Use a paper towel or tissues to lightly wipe off the excess, and you can use your hands right away.I find that this method keeps my skin hydrated more effectively and longer.YOU'LL USE LESS CREAM WITH WATER:I use only a tablespoon size, and spread it all over my hands, and along my forearms and elbows.Water thins and spreads out the cream more easily.You can use it on DRY, CRACKED FEET, too.Apply it throughout the day after you wash your hands and before bed, and you'll never get dry skin or eczema outbreaks again! (Per me and my circle of friends).BUY SEVERAL JARS, and scatter around them the house, like the bathrooms, kitchen, work areas, etc.BONUS USES:1. INSECT BITES:A friend reported that it even works in a pinch to help alleviate bug bites that she's gotten (fleas from animal rescue, mosquitoes, etc).Wash the area or use an alcoholic sanitizer or baby wipes to clean the bite area first.Then spread on Aveeno, if you don't have an antihistamine topical product handy.ALOE VERA GEL FROM THE PLANT also has miraculous healing powers with insect bites, burns,skin rashes, etc.You just cut a small piece at an angle, open it up with scissors along the leaf's seam, and apply the gel.You can wrap a bandage or strip of clean cloth lightly over the area to keep the gel in place, if you want.The cut plant area will close by itself within a day. Aloe vera is sold cheap at supermarkets, nurseries, etc.,at under $10.The gel feels cool and soothing to the skin. The plant is superior to any packaged product.DO NOT SCRATCH THE ITCH!IF YOU IGNORE IT, IT'LL DISAPPEAR by itself within a few hours.Trust me, it really works with mosquito bites. I used to itch for days, until I stopped scratching it.Distract yourself by watching tv, reading or using your cell to ignore the itch, and just lightly applyyour best anti-itch remedy (DO NOT RUB or you'll stimulate the histamines from the bite).Anytime that you're tempted to scratch, apply your remedy instead.THE BEST THINGS TO STOP ITCHING FAST (In order of effectiveness) are:1) Anti-histamine topical product2) Aloe vera gel from the plant (also heals the skin)3) Aveeno creme (also heals the skin)4) Alcoholic rub2. SKIN RASHES:A friend of mine said she was by herself with the baby one day, stuck with no car and husband away, when the diaper creme had run out in the evening.She applied Aveeno several times, and the rash disappeared the next morning.Another friend used Aveeno for a strange rash that showed up on her arm when she accidentally brushed against some plants when hiking, and it disappeared within a few hours. She washed the area first, then applied the cream.Of course, it's best to use a product designed for rashes, especially for babies.And get any mysterious rash checked out by a doctor.Btw, I don't get compensated for any of my reviews.I wanted to give a recommendation for a fantastic moisturizer that I've been using for several years.

Le ayudó mucho a mi pequeño con su sarpullido, tiene la piel muy delicada a veces con el puro sudor del día se le irrita su piel. Incluso se irrita con sólo limpiarle la cara con sus toallas húmedas. La crema es muy pesada pero super buena.

Cleared up and softened my baby’s skin within two uses! It’s so thick and non sticky, great quality.

I really love this stuff it definitely helps a lot with long lasting moisture.

I've used various types of lotions over the years and after experiencing bad reactions to other lotions, I was recommended this one by a doctor. The first day I used this lotion, it made a huge difference and healed my skin! Very impressive. It also has a very high top score in the yuka app for healthy lotions. I'm buying this lotion from now on!

Great lotion for my baby girl. Use it every night and daily when she have rashes. Helps a lot.

I change my mind the product turned out to be good. I just didn't wait long enough. But I kept using it and it has gotten rid of his rough spots. It just works slow. The smell isn't so bad.

I rub my husbands feet with this stuff. It's not greasy at all. Goes on nicely and conditions my hands as well. Does not smell like baby!
