I have a few itchy eczema patches on my body that my doctor has prescribed hydrocortisone cream for. The hydrocortisone cream has been helping but I noticed when I stop using the cream, the patches come back. I have heard horror stories about topical steroid withdrawal and I'm worried about that happening to me. When I got the chance to try the AVEENO® Eczema Care Daily Moisturizing Cream, I was hoping that this could be a steroid-free alternative treatment for my eczema.
I tried the cream out and over the course of 5 days I have noticed that my patches were starting to look better! I didn't experience any itchiness, and the redness is improving. The best part was there was no accompanying stinging or sensitivity that sometimes comes with the hydrocortisone cream. I would say it worked just as well as the hydrocortisone cream!
I'm really hopeful that this will replace my hydrocortisone cream, and I no longer have to worry about the risk of topical steroid withdrawal. I will try this out for a couple more weeks but I would recommend anyone with mild eczema to give this a try!

AVEENO® Calm + Restore Daily Gel Moisturizer is a real game-changer for anyone with sensitive skin. It's got zero fragrance (nice!), and is a lifesaver when it comes to dry, irritated skin. The best part is this is safe for anyone who is avoiding or sensitive to steroids.
I have areas on my body that are dry, itchy, and sensitive and I have noticed that this not only moisturizes but I'm seeing improvement! It looks less dry, and the itchiness is relieved. I also appreciate how it moisturizes without leaving a greasy after-feel. It's absorbed quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple, without any oily residue. This is an absolute win for those who dislike the greasy feeling that some moisturizers can leave.
Given the product's effectiveness, I can easily understand why it comes highly recommended by dermatologists. Whether you're avoiding steroids due to sensitivity or preference, this moisturizer is a safe and effective choice that caters to a wide range of skin types and conditions.
