These Over-the-Counter Eczema Products Offer Real Relief

Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition that presents as an irritated, inflamed and often itchy rash on your skin. Depending on your skin type, you may also experience pink to brown scaly rashes, tiny, itchy water blisters and even occasional cracks in the skin.

"Eczema occurs when the skin barrier is compromised and reacts to environmental factors, irritants and allergens and becomes inflamed and irritated," explains Dr. Tiffany Libby, board certified dermatologist at Brown Dermatology.

She notes that while we often see eczema in babies and children, it can also develop in adulthood. Because the skin barrier is compromised, finding products to treat eczema can be tricky.

"Our skin is a living organ and reacts to not only the environment, stress and allergens, but also to what we do and apply to our skin," says Libby. "It is important to be mindful about the products you use on your skin to not compromise or disrupt your skin's moisture barrier, which can make you more susceptible to developing eczema or other irritations."

Here are some of the best eczema products on the market.
