7 options to keep skin smooth, moisturized, and free of that pesky itch
Photo-Illustration: Courtesy of the Retailers I’ve had eczema since I was a kid, which means my skin has never not been dry, scaly, and red, even in the summertime. I’m always itchy, too; right now, I can pinpoint about three different places on my body that I’d love to scratch.
Thankfully, however, I’ve found creams that, with diligent use, help prevent my eczema from getting to the point where I actually need steroids. They keep my skin smooth, moisturized, and free of that pesky itch. Below are the best eczema creams I’ve ever used. $12 at Amazon Buy The Holy Grail Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream Oh my God, this product. For a year, I had a stubborn patch of eczema on my cheek that refused to go away, no matter what creams I put on it. Steroids would make it disappear, but only temporarily, because days after I stopped the steroid the spot would come back even angrier. I begrudgingly resigned myself to the cycle of steroids and suffering.
$9 at Amazon Buy The Go-To CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion This body lotion is my go-to. It’s light but heavy, and it dries down in a way that makes me feel moisturized but not greasy. I like this one just as much as I like Dove DermaSeries — they’re interchangeable for me. You can’t go wrong with either. I’ve also seen people use the cream version of this product on their face, though I’ve yet to try that myself.
