"People with eczema should look for products with soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides," board certified dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman points out. "One of my favorites is Mad Hippie's Hydrating Nutrient Mist."
Moisture-deprived skin is an ongoing struggle for people with eczema. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws moisture from the air to your skin making it a key player in skin care routines. This formula is formulated with desert-derived botanicals like blue agave, prickly pear and queen of the night cactus. It also contains antioxidant-rich vitamin C to protect skin from free radical damage.
This soothing body wash from Olay is part of the brand's dermatologist-designed collection and is a favorite for eczema-prone skin. It's a supremely soothing and rich body wash infused with botanicals and is gentle enough for everyday use.
Yep, eczema can occur on your scalp as well. In fact, seborrheic eczema (dermatitis) is a form of dandruff. This dye-free shampoo deeply hydrates the scalp to treat common symptoms of both dandruff and eczema.
"To help calm inflammation, over-the-counter corticosteroids are available to provide relatively immediate relief to itchy skin," says Libby. "I find my patients really enjoy using Sarna's Anti-Itch Whipped Foam with 1 percent hydrocortisone."
