Aveeno is a moisturising lotion, with naturally active colloidal oatmeal which helps dry/eczema prone skin. It comes in 2 sizes, a 200ml strong plastic tube with a flip lid and a 300ml strong plastic pump bottle and is available either fragrance free or lightly scented (lavender). I came across Aveeno when my niece was prescribed it by the doctor to help with her eczema. I'd always suffered from dryish skin but as long as I motorised well it was fine, however when I fell pregnant my skin became noticeably worst and I asked the doctor to prescribe Aveeno to me. I actually didn't realise I could simply buy it from the chemist! It worked wonders for my skin, ...  Read the complete review

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion When my step daughter lived with us for six months after her marriage split we had the pleasure of granddaughter and her company and all the ups and downs that go along with that closeness. Partly the stress and partly other things caused my step daughter's eczema to flare up again and so in order to avoid using steroid cream we did some investigation as to what was new on the market that we had not tried before. The product that came up as being more natural and very calming for eczematic skin was this Aveeno lotion or aloe vera lotion. We had tried aloe vera a few times before so thought this was worth a ...  Read the complete review

I was recently advised by my doctor to stop using my usual E45 cream when ever my eczema flares up because it contains lanolin which he suspected I might be allergic to. He recommended Aveeno and I have been using the daily moisturising lotion for the past two weeks. I purchased my 300ml bottle of it from Superdrug as it was on offer and I paid around £4.99 if I remember correctly. It retails at around £7.65 and a smaller 200ml version is also available - this comes in a tube and it costs around £5.00. While this does seem quite expensive it is around the same price as E45 and seeing as a little goes a long way a 300ml bottle will last me for at least a ...  Read the complete review

I suffer from quiet sensitive dry skin. My skin can become quiet itchy and inflamed especially in dry conditions. Sometimes certain shower gels can add to the irritation and anyone who suffers the same condition as me will understand when I say how uncomfortable and and sore this can make you feel. I tried using unsented shower gels, using a clean cloth to wipe off the showe gel and also patting my legs with a cold, damp towel. Nothing seemed to work and as mentioned once the itching started it was had to stop scatching which then led to red, sore, broken skin. As i am typing this I realise how unattractive I have made myself seem but I wanted to get ...  Read the complete review

My cousin has had eczema since she was a baby and I remember she had lots of prescription creams to help and this was one of them. So when my skin reacted to a new shower gel and nothing else soothes my itchy skin, I thought of this. I bought a tube of this for £5.10 at Sainsbury's but I have seen this in boots and Tesco for the same price. Recently in boots and Sainsbury's there was a third off the range so look out for this and stock up! On the back, it tells me this lotion provides 24 hour moisturisation and in 2 weeks the condition of my skin should be improved. It contains colloidal oatmeal or Avena Sativa (hence the name aveeno) which soothes skin ...  Read the complete review
