Aveeno Eczema Therapy Nighttime Itch Relief Balm with Colloidal Oatmeal and Ceramide for Dry Itchy Skin, Fragrance-Free Anti Itch Eczema Cream, 11 FL OZ

Awesome. A little sting. NO ITCHING .I love it

My favorite, favorite, Favorite!!! One of those don't want to be without products. I don't have eczema, but I do have dry, sensitive skin. Mix it with a regular lotion in the morning, and stay hydrated all day. Use it as a deep hydration face cream at night. And, my favorite, the single best treatment I have ever found for my dry lips. Please try it!

Broke out in hives last week coupled with winter dry skin and needed medicated and more hydrating balms for my arms and legs. I have mature (over 40), sensitive, acne-prone, congestion-prone, combination skin. But it is less oily in the winter. Earlier last week, I had a nasty allergic reaction to something topical and ended up with contact dermatitis that further evolved into hives. Been taking meds for it but the physical hot flares of hives and discomfort on my legs and arms have been a nuance especially when I am sleeping. I will wake to want to scratch at myself. Thankfully, the flares have been pretty mild but they still itch. I bought a slew of different lotions, balms, medicated creams, and ointments and nothing really took the edge off or hydrated as well as this tub of Aveeno Balm. I absolutely love the texture of the balm version of this as it is thick. Not sure what I can liken it to, but it isn't a lotion or like heavy cream. Nor is it like Vaseline or petroleum. I appreciate glycerine being the first ingredient over water. The slip of this is dense but the application goes on smoothly and is very soothing. I've only used it a couple of times in the last 24 hours since it arrived and it has made a significant difference in my skin. I will be getting this and having it on hand from now on, especially in the winter when the air, and consequently my skin, is drier. It is extremely effective and still gentle. It will absorb into the skin, but I layered it on kinda thick so I had a hint of residue when I went to bed. But I didn't rouse to mindlessly clawing at my legs, so there is that. Who knew oats and glycerine were so healing? I mean, I did but had no idea it would be this nice. It does have a scent, not added. I believe it comes from the oats, which isn't unpleasant or medicinal. Just bland, which is fine with me. I think this would be suitable for use on both body and face, as needed. Affordable. No frills. Effective.

This lotion works amazing on my dry skin. Lovely fragrance, not greasy. I use it every night at bedtime.

This product left my hands and feet smooth and moisturized!

I bought the 11oz. jar over 2 years ago and am only halfway through it. Pros: a good light moisturizer, and doesn't irritate my hands. Cons: might be more expensive than Vaseline, plus makes my hands so slippery I can't screw the jar shut afterward. The workaround I use is to wet my fingertips, and dry them off, then I can screw the lid shut.Aveeno is a good, but light, moisturizer; Vaseline stays longer on the skin and might be cheaper. When using Vaseline, immediately after drying your hands, squeeze a pea sized amount of Vaseline onto hands and rub together briskly. Then use a tissue to remove excess Vaseline (so no need to wear cotton gloves afterward). I use squeeze tubes of Vaseline to avoid messiness and to prevent contamination of the remainder. If my hands are excessively dry, at bedtime I smear on Vaseline thickly and wear cotton gloves to bed.CONCLUSION: Both products work well -- I have very bad eczema on my hands. Neither will affect the itching (you need a prescription salve for that). Neither will prevent my eczema, but if I don't moisturize constantly, my eczema gets worse. Vaseline might be cheaper than Aveeno, but I haven't checked.HINT: as my eczema appears to be heaviest where I grip my tablet, I try to wear cotton gloves when handling the tablet. Even this doesn't prevent it entirely (possibly I haven't discovered all the triggers), but I'm Also VERY allergic to nickel, so this may have something to do with it.

Truly made a huge difference on my son's skin. I'm very thankful for this product it works so great that even my sister bought her own and she also enjoys it and switched her regular lotion to this. My mother also loves it so I'm very pleased and happy with this!

The thing with eczema, for me, anyway, is that scratching is almost psychologically therapeutic as well as a bit obsessive. Once I start, I can’t stop - sound familiar? But when I scratch, even a little bit – oh, sweet relief – the eczema spreads dramatically and takes forever to heal. This cream not only soothes the itch, it also leaves a protective barrier that lets me know it’s still there and that curbs my temptation to scratch. I transferred some in a small container so I could put it on throughout the day. There’s no smell or telltale sheen so I can still wear skirts and shorts. The texture is a little bit like Vaseline, but it contains no petroleum products, and it absorbs very quickly leaving behind a very soft, satiny feel. The best though is I can put on once before bed and make it through the night. With other creams, I wake up scratching at least three or four times! Overall, the quality and performance are fantastic, especially for the price.
