Review: AVEENO® BABY ECZEMA THERAPY MOISTURIZING CREAM

Poor little Eva inherited my poor genes of eczema which has started launching its attack on her. Brought her once to GP and was prescribed some corticosteroid cream which doc advised to NOT avoid applying but to apply sparingly to clear the flare-up asap to prevent skin thickening and crusting. Started my research since. Doctor actually suggested Physiogel Intensive cream which I bought at a freaking S$38.00 from the clinic as it is only available via clinics. It did okay for her (back when she was 3months old). Before Aveeno, I actually tried California Baby too but results were... ...  (P.S: I will be writing the review for various Physiogel & California Baby too. Check back again.) 

After further online research, I found Aveeno being one of the highly recommended cream specially for eczema which is unfortunately not readily available in the stores. 

I like the texture as it is REALLY REALLY REALLY non-greasy! The cream seems to melt into the skin and 'disappear'! And somehow.. just somehow.. the red patches on Eva's tummy subsided quite abit.. though the patch in her arms are coming and going (perhaps due to the weather). The natural smell (it's a fragrance-free product) is also very light and nice (as opposed to California Baby which in my opinion really yucky smell; and Physiogel has a coconut smell which I kind of like too). 

I will continue to use it for Eva as I think the non-greasy texture is real good especially during this hot season. Imagine using rich creams and then sweating, I seriously think it is going to make babies feel uncomfortable and possibly worse with all the sweat and cream mixed up in the folds of their skins.. hmm.. not a bearable thought!

So following below are some information of the products and where you can get them!
