BARRIER SUPPORT

Eczema

Use moisturiser as supportive eczema care while keeping diagnosis, flare treatment and infection warning signs clearly separate.

Explore five focused guides
01 / COMMON CONTEXT

Pattern before product.

Patterns vary with age and eczema type. Face, neck, elbow and knee folds, hands and widespread body areas may be involved.

Dry weather, heat, sweat, fragrance, irritating products, allergens and stress can contribute, although trigger patterns are individual.

02 / ROUTINE FOUNDATION

Keep the base calm.

Choose a fragrance-free cream or ointment, apply after bathing and whenever skin feels dry, and keep prescribed treatments in the order advised by a clinician.

03 / FORMULA DIRECTION

Choose by function.

Colloidal oatmeal, glycerin, petrolatum, ceramides and dimethicone can support a moisturising formula. Tolerance to oat, preservatives and botanical extracts still varies.

04 / ECZEMA GUIDES
