I do like the Eczema cream, but the only downside is the price. I will be honest, I will pay almost anything to have my baby's skin eczema free, but it is a bit expensive. It averages between 10 and 15 dollars, depending where it's purchased, meanwhile similar skin creams are between 8 and 10 dollars.
The lotion itself is smooth, soft, and acts as a much needed reliever for my baby's skin.
I'd say it's a definate purchase if you are an eczema sufferer!
This soothing cream really helps. This year has been pretty bad for me, and I never used to have dry itchy skin on my face. I know it says you can apply anywhere over the body but I have to admit, in my desperation, I applied this to my face. NO NEGATIVE REACTIONS TO MY FACE! YAY!
The only setback....is that this makes my skin feel sticky...even if i apply at night and let it set overnight.
This proved to be effective head to toe!
I bought this cream and found it worked ok for me. My brother brought me some back when he went to the US and I found that it worked MUCH better than the Canadian brand, I believe the formula/ingredients slightly differ. It worked great, helped prevent the itch that comes with Eczema and I noticed my flare up went down and stayed down with reapplication.
I finished my first tube of Aveeno Eczema Care Cream about two weeks ago and I bought it from Pharma Plus for $12.49 CDN
This is special cream to treat a skin problem called eczema.
I have a bit of eczema on three of my fingers on my right hand. The symptoms of eczema that I have is very dry skin that is easily irritated from soaps, cleaning products, even some moisturizers.....the skin becomes really itchy at times and when I scratch it, the condition worsens and often the skin gets raw, might bleed or some clear fluid comes out. When it got pretty bad at times, I didn't even want to go out because it looked terrible.
I have posted up pictures of the back of the tube for more information
I highly highly recommend the Aveeno Eczema Care Cream.
This cream has prevented my eczema from flaring up. I know this for a fact because my eczema flared up very easily and rather often no matter what creams I had used before. For the whole duration of the time I used this cream, I am happy to say that I did not experience any severe itching that would lead to my eczema flaring up again. There were a couple of times my eczema prone fingers got a bit itchy, but even when I scratched them to my heart's content (I can't resist an itch!), the eczema did not flare up like it always did before.
I used this cream only on my hands: everytime after washing my hands and before bedtime.
A few days I did not have this cream with me (when I was on my short vacation) and I had to resort to my regular Aveeno moisturizer as a handcream. Sad to say, my eczema prone fingers started to get severely itchy again and it started to flare right back up. So this is when I knew that the Aveeno Eczema Care Cream really worked.
I also know it really works because the skin on my right hand has consistently been very well for the past month and a half I was using this cream...so much so that I don't think anybody can tell I had eczema before.
There is still a bit of dryness particularly when I hop out of the shower before I moisturize. But once I moisturize everything looks fine. I can still feel that the skin is not 100% healed like perfectly normal skin but it's about 85%-90% healed and I will keep this up in hopes of getting rid of my eczema completely.
I also want to point out that about two months ago (before I started this cream), I started to be more mindful of what soaps I was using to wash my hands (I use Dove handsoap) and making sure that I wear cleaning gloves at all times when I clean dishes, countertops or when using any household cleaning products. This is very important.
I wanted to note that if you do not have eczema, do not buy this cream. It seriously will not help your skin be any "better"/softer than before. I say this because I had to use the cream on both my hands even though I do not have any eczema at all on my left hand. The skin on my left hand has not changed at all compared to using the other regular Aveeno moisturizers (which I do highly recommend for regular/dry skin).
My daughter would get eczema when the weather would get really cold. Sometimes it got to the point of having to use steroid creams which I hated to use. I would feel horrible when she would get patches on her face. I was at London Drugs and noticed this lotion. I love aveeno products for myself so I thought why not might as well give it a shot. I am so happy that I did.
This lotion absorbs quickly into the skin and cleared up her eczema within 3 days. I was amazed by the results. It's a great price and definitely does the job. Works much better than most eczema lotions.
