Aveeno Eczema Therapy Rescue Relief Treatment Gel Cream, Daily 2% Colloidal Oatmeal Skin Protectant Formula Instantly Soothes & Cools Itchy Dry Skin Flare-Ups, Steroid & Fragrance Free, 5.0 oz

This has completely healed a horrific skin rash and severe dryness I had been grappling with a few months ago! What set off my problems- a bad reaction to a certain tea tree oil shampoo (Trader Joe’s Tea Tree) which led to severe itch, dryness and weeping from my scalp and eventually irritating the skin on the back of my neck and behind my ears. Aveeno was more effective than Benadryl cream which I was using in desperation but offered no true healing. I would advise as well to try to pinpoint specifically what sets off any irritation- you’d be surprised at how many “natural” items marketed for skin issues can cause other ones in certain individuals. In my case tea tree as an ingredient in body wash and shampoo was setting off severe dryness and eventual irritation. I have since switched my products to gentle ones. I love the texture of this product and the immediate absorption- my skin drinks it in! I knew it was promising upon first use because it felt both cooling and gentle. The area less red. I was over the moon with joy when the morning after I applied it to my red bumpy problem areas- my skin was actually calm and clear! Smooth and normal! I use this about twice a day to maintain results and have needed less for maintenance. Another thing I did since my issue was skin on the back of my neck was after applying, placing a layer of gauze on top to cover the area during sleep. You would be surprised what that gentle layer can do to seal in the product. I have also been using a gentle shampoo from CeraVe to not set off my skin again. Sometimes it’s a lot of different things which can cause irritation. This has been a crucial remedy for me which has offered enormous relief and healing. I also want to say how much I empathize with those going through skin issues- they can be truly exhausting and discouraging. I wish you the best of luck in your healing journey and am so grateful that Aveeno has made a quality, easily accessible product to help so many of us out. This is the most soothing, healing balm I have ever used and I encourage you to try it!

This review is long overdue. I purchased this when my baby was about 4-5 months old and developed such a bad eczema flare up. Before his official diagnosis for eczema I wasn't sure what moisturizer would help his red and itchy skin. My sister mentioned that she used aveeno eczema therapy, so I bought this gel along with the thicker cream that comes in a tub. After a few days, my son's skin went from angry red splotches all over his body, to soothed skin resembling his natural skin tone again. I was so relieved. The gel cream lasted us several months. We applied daily after his bath and it kept his skin moisturized. It's a little slippery since it's a gel like consistency but it absorbs well and left his skin feeling nice. This was a lifesaver for us, and still is. I will use the gel cream ever so often when he has flare ups, and especially now during the winter time when his skin gets dry from being outside. I highly recommend to all eczema sufferers!

Really helps with itchy dry spots. Bought for my 3 year old. The texture is great and non greasy. Will purchase again

Our daughter has had eczema since she was a newborn, and we love Aveeno products. For us, this one falls a little short - it does help with flare-ups, but the consistency is too thin, and I don't feel like it nourishes the skin enough for her dry skin. The scent is neutral, which is a plus. Overall, this product is a good value for the money since you only need a little, making it last a long time.

I've tried at least 10 different kinds of lotions to help with my twin toddlers' severe eczema. Some of the heavier ones seemed to be working in the beginning but lacked any longevity or sustainability in treating the condition. The biggest symptom that they just couldn't ignore was the excessive itching which ALWAYS escalated in the middle of the night. I grew exhausted & desperate immediately. I decided to take a shot on this particular kind because I have always put my faith in Aveno as the oatmeal packets would sporadically work for them & the intensive therapy line works for my extreme winter flare ups. From the moment the lotion touched his skin he commented how different it was from the others & that it did not burn at all on first contact like every other lotion did. Secondly, within a few minutes, he laid right down because the itching had stopped completely. This lotion was an absolute game changer for us & very reasonably priced!!

Before this product I was using the thick cream that comes in the jar from Aveeno and it wasn’t doing a whole lot for me. I tried this one out and what a difference. During the winter months I get a bad eczema flare up on my neck, chest and back of my hands. This product has halted and kept that eczema at bay. I seriously couldn’t believe it. I apply it at night and in the morning the flaking has stopped and the redness significantly reduced. With continued use the flare up has completely gone away. I hope aveeno never stops making this product because I will buy this every single year to keep my eczema from ruining my skin.

No itch relief what so ever and not a fan of the texture. Doesn't moisturize at all. No fragrance to it which was good.

Great for sensitive skin. Very healing.

Me ayudó bastante a calmar la sensaciones reseca de mi piel por brotes de eczema en los párpados y cejas, es ligero y no deja sensaciones grasosa, tarda un poco en absorber, la estuve aplicando constantemente y si bien no eliminó ni redujo mi eczema me ayudó bastante con la comezón

Me gustó mucho este producto creo que lo volveré a comprar. Tiene una consistencia ligera por lo que rinde bastante. Lo uso después de asolearme y me baja mucho el ardor

I would say it's kinda good, like it numb the pain after i scratch the flare up, but it doesnt sooth the flare up instantly or stop the itchiness. Useful but not that much, numbs the aftermath pain. It works like 70% kinda useful.

Si tienes soriasis te la recomiendo es muy buena Para la resequedad se las recomiendo
