Why it's great: This hydrating stick creates a nice barrier for troubled skin, much like Aquaphor, except it comes with all natural ingredients. It's multi-purpose and you can use it for everything from insect bites to tattoos — and eczema flare-ups, of course.

Why it's great: Readers say this product "works wonders" on eczema. One reader says this gives her "immense — and often instantaneous — relief" from her condition. "This stuff works better at soothing/healing my eczema than my prescription medication," raves another reader. One reader says, "This cream is the best — it's light and pleasant, completely controls [my son's] eczema, and, best of all, keeps it clear even if he misses an application or two."
Why it's great: Eczema often affects the hands, so a good hand cream is key. This one comes packed with skin-soothing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, aloe and shea butter, which makes it a great pick. "This is an excellent hand cream if you have really itchy, dry hands, eczema or dermatitis," says a reviewer.

Why it's great: Readers love that this lotion has a "light texture but great moisturizing ability" — not to mention the fact that "the bottle is huge." Reviewers also point out that it is "excellent for eczema" because it "does not burn if you have any open wounds." One reader appreciates the product's cooling effect, which soothes her dry skin.
Finding effective eczema treatments is a tricky business. Anyone who suffers from eczema can tell you how hard it is to find a product that will provide more than just temporary relief. When your dry, itchy skin keeps you up and scratching all night, it's time to take some action. For some eczema sufferers, this means turning to prescription creams or even steroids (yep, steroids) to control the pain.
Because steroids aren't the healthiest solution, and one that many of our readers say they'd like to avoid, we did some digging to find some alternatives for treating eczema. To do this, we went straight to the source — our eczema-stricken readers. They tell which products really make a difference in the way their skin looks and feels.
If you're lucky enough to not have eczema but are still looking for a solution to your dry skin, these products also get rave reviews from readers who don't have eczema — they're that good. Read on to see some of the best eczema creams and products.
