Did you know that over 35 million Americans suffer from atopic dermatitis (Eczema)? Eczema is a very uncomfortable condition characterized by serious dryness, irritation/redness, itching and cracking of the skin. The intense, frequent itching can cause loss of sleep and days off from work. Some sufferers even find themselves making significant lifestyle changes and avoiding fun activities because of Eczema.
When my daughter was an infant, she had severe eczema until she was about 8-9 months old. She still has very dry skin that gets worse (and itchy) in winters and Eucerin is a skincare brand that I have always trusted and relied on to help calm and relieve her eczema flare-ups.
Eucerin has recently introduced two NEW Eczema Relief products specially formulated to protect and soothe skin irritation and itching due to eczema – Eczema Relief Body Crème ($10.49 – 8 fl. oz.) and Eczema Relief Instant Therapy Creme ($8.49 – 2 fl. oz.)
Eucerin Eczema Relief Body Creme has been specially formulated to help relieve very dry, irritated skin associated with eczema. It is clinically proven to significantly improve hydration, relieve itchiness due to eczema and soothe red, irritated skin. It is gentle on skin and provides significant and long lasting improvements to the skin.

I love this rich, soothing body cream from Eucerin! The gentle and fragrance-free formula (fragrance can be a major trigger for eczema flare-ups) contains 1% colloidal oatmeal which is a great anti-irritant for soothing very dry, itchy and sensitive skin. Not only is this replenishing cream helpful for eczema-affected skin but is also great to treat your problematic and sensitive skin on a daily basis. The medium-weight formula takes a few extra seconds to fully absorb but doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on the skin. This will surely be a staple in my winter beauty routine to keep my dry skin soft and well-hydrated! And it’s perfectly safe for babies & children too so I will be sure to slather it on my daughter as well!

I get eczema during the summer months- especially around my tattoo. Benadryl cream and prescription ointment helps but this would be handy to bring with me and not feel self conscious about taking it out in public!
Phyrra says
Sounds like it would be really helpful to those who suffer from bad eczema!

Harshleen, this was a great article about some one of the products available to help treat eczema. I get eczema every once in a while and when I get it, it itches like crazy! I have never tried this product before, I wonder if it would work for me. Maybe I know someone who has used this product. Tomorrow I will have to start asking some of my friends and family if they have used this product.
