The manufacturer recommends using Eucerin on mildly flared to normal skin, as it has a thinner consistency than might be necessary for more severely inflamed skin. This also allows the product to be absorbed by the skin more easily.Petroleum jelly acts as a barrier and will trap moisture in the skin. This is very important treatment for eczema sufferers.

excellent products. I use Eucerin lotion all over body including face, Aquaphor great everywhere except face.
ReplyDeleteI've used both on all charges-
ReplyDeleteboth work fine. I even use on my dry winter hands and it really helps.
My feet get very very dry and even bleed, especially in the winter so I tried using aquaphor and I can't beleive how my feet look now. Nothing has ever worked as well as aquaphor. Vaseline doesn't do the trick for some reason only this.
ReplyDeleteAquaphor helps but I found that just using any type of cream doesn't help severe eczema. You might need a prescription to help moderate to sever eczema. Aquaphor is only over the counter product helped sever eczema in my charge and she still needed antibiotics and cortizone for infections in the rash.
ReplyDeleteI like aquaphor the best for otc product. It's great on diaper rash too.

Aquaphor stands out in a crowd. When you use Aquaphor, you will finally get all of the best natural ingredients, and you will get all of the most effective amounts. With Aquaphor, you get beyond previous lowered expectations into a formula that can exceed anything you may have seen before. I would definitely recommend using Aquaphor for all of your skin needs.
ReplyDeleteThere are tons of products to try and it can be overwhelming so thanks for posting this series. I have found Mustela Dermo-Pediatrics Stelatopia Cream Cleanser & Weleda Calendula Baby Soap the best cleansers. Any fragrance-free lotion works and I like using oils before taking the baby out of the bath and then Aquaphor for the worst eczema.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I have extremely dry and very sensitive skin. We suffer from eczema & itchy skin that breaks out year round. A friend recommended it to me after prescription lotions and steroids failed to clear it up. The first time I used it, the burning and pain went away. All of the different products that we've tried have not come close to performing as well as Aquaphor. Vaseline is second but for some reason Aquaphor is better.
ReplyDeleteMy charge had really bad eczema on her cheeks and some all over body. Two days treatment with Aquaphor the dry splotches are HISTORY and the irritation on her cheeks is not inflammed any longer. This is a wonderful product, I will be investing in the larger tub for the house and I will plan on carrying the smaller tube in our diaper bag!
