Eczema Lotion: Which One Should You Buy?
Are you looking for a good eczema lotion that will help soothe and clear your eczema (atopic dermatitis)? Then this article will review some of the best known eczema lotions that you can find online or at your local shopping centre.
So let’s start with a brand you probably already know:
AVEENO products have been used for dry skin and eczema conditions for some time now and their products are very gentle and also very inexpensive. Nearly all of their products contain 100% natural colloidal oatmeal (a powdered form of oats) which is well know for soothing and healing inflamed skin. They also have a range of really good baby products too.
for Adults:
AVEENO Soothing Relief Bath Treatment
AVEENO Daily Moisturizing Lotion
For Babies:
AVEENO Baby Soothing Bath Treatment
AVEENO Baby Soothing Moisture Cream
Dermarest Eczema Medication Lotion is also inexpensive and recommended. While you can’t use it on toddlers under 2 years of age, for everyone else it is a great product. The combination of natural ingredients and 1% Hydrocortisone help stop itching almost immediate and rashes seem to clear up overnight. The only downside we found for this cream is that if you stop using the product the rash comes back, so stock up.
Sarna Lotion is another great lotion for helping clear up eczema and other skin rashes. It cools your skin on contact (it actually gives you a cool tingly feeling as you apply it) and seems to immediately relieve any itchiness. This is due to the active ingredients of camphor and menthol. It’s really easy to spread all over your body and the lotion is light and milky. I wouldn’t use this on children younger than five but adults will love the instant relief. There is also a Sarna Lotion for Sensitive Skin for those with severe eczema.
These are what I consider some of the best, over the counter inexpensive eczema lotions.

The Made from Earth Pure Aloe Skin Treatment is GREAT for dry and/or sensitive skin. I used to get eczema-like rashes on my face during winter time. This cream has solved the problem completely. It is absorbed by the skin very quickly, there’s no greasy residue.
If you are prone to acne breakouts this cream will also work for you since the aloe has astringent properties. My sister who is prone to acne used it for her dry skin, and her skin looked AMAZING. Its amazing what a bit of pure aloe can do for your face. I recommend this from the Made from Earth product line.

Aveeno did not work so well with my son. He still itches at night with that. We use the Gentle Naturals and it really works.

I found a lotion by Botanical Skin Works, Eczema Shea Butter Lotion, that has worked for my daughter for the past 3 years. We use the soap and the lotion and her skin is just beautiful.

PLEASE SUPPORT A FANTASTIC ECZEMA PRODUCT – I have been managing my daughters eczema for over 8 years since she was 6 months old, and after been prescribed products containing hydrocortisone, which I did not wish to use, I started searching for a more natural way of managing her symptoms.I finally fell upon a fantastic product which I still use today and call my “miracle find” it really is amazing at taking the angry sting out of her condition and stops her itching. I have recommended this product to many people who have all backed my findings. Holland and Barrett used to stock the products and they used to sell online but now I find the company are distributing only through a small number of outlets and I fear eventually they may stop production. So if you, like me, prefer a more natural product then please try “Natraderm” the lotion is not thick or greasy, can be used on babies and applied all over the body – apply frequently throughout the day (when my daughter has flare ups I send her to school with a bottle and she applies throughout the day, especially after PE or swimming). And hope you find it as fantastic as we do.
