Eczema Therapy FAQs

Eczema refers to a group of skin conditions that cause the skin to become visibly red, itchy, and dry. The most common type is atopic dermatitis, and it can affect people of all ages and skin tones.

Our Eczema Therapy product line is backed by science and from Aveeno® a dermatologist recommended brand for over 70 years. The bath treatment, enriched with soothing colloidal oatmeal, relieves dry, itchy, irritated skin due to eczema. The Aveeno Baby® Cleansing Therapy Moisturizing Wash is clinically shown to gently cleanse baby’s eczema-prone skin. Lastly, our nourishing creams and soothing balms with colloidal oatmeal + ceramide relieve eczema-prone skin and strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier with steroid- and fragrance-free formulas.

It helps relieve dry, itchy skin and keeps it hydrated and comfortable throughout the day. With a nourishing, nongreasy texture, it’s gentle enough for daily use. 

Colloidal oatmeal is a soothing ingredient that helps relieve dry, itchy, and irritated skin—common symptoms of eczema. It works by forming a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture, relieve minor skin irritations, and support the skin’s natural barrier. That’s why it’s the star ingredient in Aveeno® Eczema Therapy products.
