Suave Cocoa Butter With Shea Body Lotion

Suave Cocoa Butter With Shea Body Lotion is a random lotion I tried one day for my eczema.  I tried it because I have always wanted a lotion with a vanilla smell to it, that I could put on my skin and know it wouldn't irritate it.  I am always anxious to have a smell other than the smell of medicated lotions.  Another plus as to why I bought it, is because it was a huge bottle for a very cheap price.

Suave Cocoa Butter Is Not Meant For Eczema

To start, let me say, this lotion is NOT fragrance free.  The fragrance in it is called Parfum, for those of you who know exactly what you are allergic to.  Like I said above, I wanted to try a lotion that doesn't smell like the normal medicated eczema skin creams and lotions. 
It has a vanilla-ish smell to it.  Vanilla is one of my favorite smells, so this worked out pretty well for me.  It is cream colored and very soft and gentle.  It is not meant for eczema.  The purpose of this lotion is to soften and smooth dry and rough skin. (Keep in mind, rough skin for "normal" people.) 

No Eczema Irritations, But Be Cautious

I have used this lotion for more than a month and put it all over my body and luckily, it has not once irritated my skin.  However, I have not put it on open wounds and if my skin seems to start breaking out or being very irritable, I didn't use it.  If I scratched the night before, I made sure to skip those spots and put a medicated lotion on it.  I understand if you would be hesitant to try a lotion of fragrance, but if you are like me, you want to have the choice of a pretty smell every once in a while, and Suave – Cocoa Butter is the lotion I would recommend for that purpose.  

It's Cheap!

If your case of eczema is not so severe and you would like to try something that smells nice, I would recommend trying this product. Not because it's all mighty and will definitely help your eczema, but because if it works for you, it is very cheap. If you go to learn more, you will find that a large 18 ounce bottle after shipping is still under $10. If it ends up working for you, you may be that lucky one who doesn't have to shovel out tons of money all the time =P

That's why I include lotions such as this one that aren't made specifically for eczema.

Dermarest– Eczema Medicated Moisturizer For Sensitive Skin is another eczema lotion I have used for a couple of years now.  

Dermarest For Eczema: Stinky Smell, AWESOME Lotion

The only downfall for this lotion is the smell.  I hate the smell.  When I put Dermarest on, I turn my head and try not to breathe it in.  But then again, what smells bad to me, may smell good to someone else. But if you don't like the smell just as I don't, the sacrifice is very beneficial.

Dermarest Moisturizer is white and goes on smoothly and gently.  It rubs into the skin and doesn't linger on top. Another benefit to the eczema lotion is that it is made for eczema. (There are also others made for other skin diseases, such as psoriasis, which I have added into another post.)  

It does not sting. It is a medicated lotion. I found that the best time for me to put it on was at night. (That seems to be the best time for any medicated eczema lotion). I would take a shower and as soon as I got out I would use a whole tube of Dermarest and put it on every single part of my body. I would put a long sleeve shirt on to keep the lotion on my skin, and right before I went to bed I would re-apply it and let it work overnight–which is what Dermarest is for.

Dermarest Medicated Moisturizer Will Help Improve Your Eczema

Dermarest does work.  If not in the first night, it should work within the week. My skin would have hardly any redness at all when I would wake up and I could see sores beginning to close. The lotion says it is designed to stop the itchiness, but I really don't think there is any eczema skin cream or lotion that actually gets rid of the itchiness. That's something you have to take control of yourself. At least, that is how it is for me.

Have More Than One Eczema Moisturizer

This is a lotion that I recommend because it is a lotion that you can use forever. It is not a steroid and does not have any negative side effects. This eczema lotion is one that you can utilize as a part of your lotions that you use on a daily basis. The best thing for anyone to do, and I strive to say this whenever I get the chance, is to use AT LEAST 2-3 different moisturizers for your skin. There is nothing worse than having an eczema cream or lotion that works the best for you and then you grow immune to it. Finding more than one moisturizer that works is critical, which is why I write reviews, to give others a greater outlook on eczema moisturizers that help.

Please, please, please give Dermarest for eczema a try. You won't regret it!

There are plently of Dermarest products.  

Another one that I want to talk about is Dermarest– Eczema Medicated Lotion.

About Dermarest Eczema Medicated Lotion

This eczema lotion has a clear-ish look to it.  The smell is not as intense as Dermarest- Medicated Moisturizer.  Even though the bottle says it is a lotion, I don't view it as a lotion.  I view it as a clear, greasy-like substance, but at the same time, it's not really greasy.  It's hard to explain this product.  I think it works just as good as the moisturizer for eczema does.  The only difference really is how the two feel on your skin.  

Be Aware Of Steroids In Eczema Creams And Lotions

The ingredients all mix together really well to give you some relief, and sense of being healed and less itchiness.  The bottle says the active ingredient is Hydrocortisone 1%, which is a popular steroid for eczema.  You shouldn't apply this lotion more than 3 or 4 times daily.  Your skin will grow immune to the steroid and the product will stop working for you.  That actually applies to any eczema skin cream or lotion.  The more you use it, you will grow immune and have to jump around.  That's why I keep a huge box of skin creams and lotions, for when I grow immune to one product, I can jump to another.  But that's not the only reason you shouldn't constantly apply it.  Steroids may make your skin thicker or even thinner, and have many side effects to worry about.  I have used the product for a long time and take breaks in between using it, and luckily my skin hasn't been harmed from the side effects.  Just don't over do it.

Dermarest For Eczema Is A Must Try!

You should definitely try out one of the two Dermarest products for eczema.  This one normally comes in a 4 oz bottle and the moisturizer comes in a 2 oz bottle–Both Work Great!  The price ranges to about $10. Compared to other lotions, you can get a lot more of the product for $10, but the quality may not be as great as this one. Dermarest works great and if you are on that adventure of finding your lotion, then this is a must see, must have, must try.

Dermarest    For   Psoriasis

Dermarest Products Are Amazing!

I don't have psoriasis, but I know the Dermarest for Eczema helped me a lot.  And with the Dermarest brand being so great, I would only assume that Dermarest for Psoriasis would help someone who suffers from psoriasis.

Dermarest Psoriasis And Dermarest Eczema Are Very Similar

I do own the product, but have never used it.  I can say though, that it feels exactly like the Dermarest medicated moisturizer product.

I have researched and found that Dermarest for psoriasis is a salicylic acid topical, which causes shedding of the outer layer of skin.  It is non-greasy, and is suppose to control flaking, scaling, and crusting of the skin.  A lot is in common with the Dermarest for eczema when it says it relieves redness, itchiness, and provides immediate relief, which makes sense because they are both dermarest products.

Dermarest For Psoriasis Helps Acne!

This particular product, as I have read from random comments on it, is suppose to be really good for acne because of the salicylic acid topical that is in it. Almost every page I have come across mentions how Dermarest for psoriasis will help those who suffer with bad acne and will last a lot longer than other acne creams. (I made my boyfriend try it for his. xD Hope it works.)

Dermarest for Psoriasis will help with irritation of the skin, the same way Dermarest for Eczema helps eczema. Dermarest for Psoriasis also seems to help in other ways than what it is meant for, which is a major plus!

Jergens Shea Butter Is Great For Summer Time

I mostly use this lotion mainly during the summer.  It's best to use a thicker eczema cream or lotion during the winter, and a thinner one during the summer time.  Therefore, I use Jergens Shea Butter because it is a thinner lotion.  

I was reluctant to use this lotion at first because it is not fragrance free.  The best lotions to use are fragrance free and I did not want the fragrance in the shea butter to cause my skin to flare.  I tested it out on my wrist, and nothing happened, so I took the chance and put it on my whole body and it did not cause and redness or flare at all.  It turns out, this is one of my most used lotions.

Pretty Smell, Inexpensive, Great Moisturizer For Eczema

The scent smells really good, in my opinion.  It's a nice lotion that keeps you moisturized and you don't have the medicated smell on you all the time.  However, i'm sure your skin is a lot like mine and soaks up lotion in the blink of an eye, making it so you have to continuously re-apply the lotion to your skin.  But I think this lotion is worth the time and effort.  The price is really cheap, and you get a good amount for the price being so low.  It's cheaper than a lot of other eczema skin creams and lotions, causing me to use it a lot more all year long because I can constantly have it.  Other lotions are gone through so fast, and they cost so much, it's hard to always have the product on me.  If you haven't tried Jergens Shea Butter yet, I highly recommend you do. 

Try it! It's Cheap!

When you buy this product, you get a 16.8 ounce bottle for less than $10. That makes this product a must try. If it works for you, you don't have to worry so much and you wont have to shovel out constant money trying to find what you're looking for. That is the whole point of our journey. Finding our own personal cure.

When you click the Save Now button, you will be able to purchase 3 of these large bottles for about $23. You would be saving about $4 on your third bottle =)

Repcillin: Crocodile Skin Treatment 

I am keeping Repcillin at the top of my list for eczema skin creams and lotions because it is still undiscovered by many and those who have discovered it want to know if this product honestly works. I, myself failed to find any negativity before purchasing, therefore, I had no choice but to try it for myself.

The Sellers at African Cures Claim:

While researching the product, I've heard that Repcillin is taking the place for a lot of steroid creams.

This product is different from many others because it is not a cream or lotion–it's a naturally made, vaseline-like product. 

Repcillin is not a vaseline (You can refer to the comment below.) It is 100% natural based.

It contains crocodile oil and other "filler ingredients" from beeswax and sunflower oil–and that's it.

The origin of Repcillin comes from crocodiles and it mimics how fast and well their antibodies heal open wounds, bumps, rashes, and just about anything dealing with the skin. Hence, "Crocodile Skin Treatment.

It will supposedly heal your eczema and make it as if you no longer had it.

With all the positives out there on the internet, I decided to try it.

Repcillin Did Not Work For Me

I bought this item just as fast as I found it online.  It has some of the best ratings for eczema and I was eager to find if it healed me or not. Come to find, 65 dollars later, the product DID NOTHING for me and my skin.  

I like to say that every individual is different and what may not work for me has a better chance for working or helping someone else. This may be true, but in this case, I don't think it is worth it to find out.

Do Not Waste Your Money

Of all the things out there, I would not recommend trying this product. The company seems really fishy, there are no returns, and personally, it doesn't feel like it is worth it. You are better off trying something different. You deserve a better quality product. 

I No Longer Reccommend Repcillin

There was a point I thought maybe the product would be worth the effort, however, I withdraw from saying others should try Repcillin for themselves–Do the exact opposite and SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I receive emails from other eczema sufferers on a daily basis that decided to try Repcillin as well and their remarks towards the product are not nice. This is why feedback is so important and I do ask that you leave it for other fellow eczema sufferers to benefit from. I do listen to those who reach out to me and I take in what everyone says to give a beneficial review for all of you. 

I have stated how I feel about Repcillin. If you would like to visit the website for African Cures, you can do so by clicking here. 

Eucerin Calming Creme Reduces Redness By Half

The only downfall of this cream is that it STINGS.  When I apply the lotion onto my body, I have to do it by parts.  The sting is too much for me to handle at once.  However, it does actually do what it says it does. The bottle reads "Dry Skin Therapy, Clinically proven effective for dry, itchy skin."  This type of Eucerin is a calming cream, as it says on the bottle.  If you apply this lotion onto your skin, looking past the sting, it reduces redness by half. (As long as you aren't scratching it.)  It is thick and is definitely a great moisturizer and is fragrance free–which is very important when you are looking for eczema skin creams and lotions to apply to your skin.

Eucerin Calming Creme Improves Skin Appearance

Place this cream all over your body, even the spots without eczema, as much as you can.  After you shower, put it on.  Before you go to bed, put it on.  When you wake up, put it on.  What I don't like about most creams is that I feel sticky afterwards.  This lotion is not and does not make you feel sticky.  It makes my skin feel as normal as it can get, and at times, when I wasn't flaring, it has even helped me clear up my skin.  It definitely improves the appearance skin.

The price is fairly cheap. The eucerin calming creme takes up a lot of my money, because I am constantly using it and having to buy more.  Of all the eczema skin creams and lotions, this is the one you should try if you haven't already.  

Buy Eucerin Calming Creme And Save

If you are consistent with a specific lotion for your eczema, you save money by buying in larger amounts.  For example, let's say one bottle of Eucerin is $10. You may find a deal of two Eucerin Calming Creme bottles for $17.  Technically, that means you buy one bottle and save $3 on the second bottle. Now, you may think $3? That's not a lot. However, if you saved 3 dollars each time you buy your lotion, (3+3+3+3) equals enough to buy a whole new bottle.  

Sometimes you can subscribe to certain places and save even more money and have a constant flow of your favorite or most consistent eczema skin cream or lotion.

Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair For Eczema

Eucerin-Plus Intensive Repair is another type of lotion from Eucerin that I have tried.  To be frank, I am not a big fan of this Eucerin product.  Only because, the feeling after I put it on makes me feel ick.  I don't like it because it feels warm after you put it on your skin.  With eczema, my body puts out a lot of heat, and I can't stand being warm.

Get Use To it, It Works!

 It is thick, like normal eucerin creams. But it is also greasy and doesn't have the best smell in the world, but it's do-able. If you can get past the greasy-ness and the smell, it is a good lotion.  It stays on and does protect the skin.  The stories I have read behind this lotion say about the same as I do.  It works–but you have to get use to it.

This is a "non-irritating" lotion.  The ratings of this lotion remain very high.  Standing at 7+ stars out of 10.  The only reason it doesn't have better ratings is because it is greasy and a lot of people don't like that, but still use it, as I do.  

How Eucerin Plus Works And What It Does

This lotion contains alpha hydroxy, which works to exfoliate your skin. It does this without stinging or drying out your skin. The funny thing about Eucerin Plus is that it contains our skin's own urea. This allows more effective moisurizaion. 

The purpose of this lotion is to exfoliate dry and damaged skin, as well as provide moisturization. It is meant for dry and bumpy skin mainly on the arms and legs. Another plus to this product is that it is fragrance-free. Yay!

Eucerin Products Are Very Good For Eczema

Eucerin, of all eczema creams and lotions, is a very good brand of lotions to get into and to try out.  I fully support the use of eucerin lotions.  There isn't going to be a perfect lotion, but you can get close.  The Eucerin products are the closest I have gotten in a long time and are by far my favorite.

It is a must that you or your loved on try the Eucerin products. Trust and believe me when I say, you will not regret it.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion Has More Pros

When thinking about eczema creams and lotions, you always compare the pros to the cons.  Aveeno – Daily Moisturizing Lotion without doubt has more pros than cons.

The one con I have found while using this lotion is that it is sticky and has a weird feeling while on my skin.  You can definitely feel the coating of the lotion while it is on your skin.  When I apply it to my arms, I put a long sleeve shirt on afterwards to try and get it off my mind and not look at my skin.  I have found that is the best thing for me to do because of all the pros this eczema lotion has.

Aveeno Works Well With Eczema And Protects The Skin

To start off, Aveeno does do its job of protecting the skin. This lotion is very gentle when you put it on, and I think it smells good =) It is a creamy white color, that dissolves into the skin and you don't need a lot to cover large areas. It doesn't sting and it stays on all day without having to re-apply it constantly. One bottle should last you longer than most of your other eczema skin creams and lotions. The product promotes 24 hour protection and without question is not lying. I literally have to shower to feel like it is off my body. If you stick with this lotion, you should see a difference in your skin in about a week or so.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion Is Fragrance Free!

Another plus to Aveeno – Daily Moisturizing Lotion is that it is fragrance free and specifically uses colloidal oatmeal in the recipe. Colloidal oatmeal is meant to comfort itchy, dry skin. When someone takes a colloidal oatmeal bath, the oatmeal coats itself to the skin, and if you refer back to the beginning, I think that's what I said i feel when I put it on my body.
Aveeno is nicely priced.  It is definitely worth the shot!

Blue Emu is by far one of my most favorite creams I have ever found–and it was totally by accident.

Blue Emu helps to satisfy your Eczema

I came across this cream randomly one day and instantly fell in love with it.  Having eczema makes it so your skin puts out extra heat than the normal body does.  Because blue emu is aloe vera based, it is cold.  And there is nothing better, especially in the summer, than having that cold feeling on your skin.  When someone with eczema gets hot and starts to sweat, their skin reacts and starts flaring up into this unbearable red itch. Because it is a pain reliever cream, it also contributes to taking away the outside pain of my skin.

Blue emu has all the omega fatty acids in it as well, that are very important to an eczema sufferer.  There are pills that I take specifically for these acids that I will talk about in another section.  The fatty acids are similar to human fatty acids that skin conditions such as eczema need as well as improve the natural body. 

Blue Emu is Fragrance Free

This cream is also fragrance free and is anti-inflammatory as well. Blue emu is however expensive, in my opinion.  For a 4 oz. jar, I spend $20 and it goes away really fast because I constantly use it.  I go through so much of this cream that for my last birthday, my best friend bought me 5 jars of it.  I think that blue emu is worth buying, especially during the hotter seasons.  It relieves a lot of pain and hotness and is overall a very good cream.

Blue Emu is not made for Eczema

Blue Emu is NOT an eczema skin cream,  lotion, or moisturizer.  Blue Emu, however, is a "deep penetrating, soothing formula" as it says on the jar.  It is meant to be a muscle pain reliever.  For example, after someone exercises and their muscles hurt, they are suppose to put Blue Emu on the muscle area that hurts and it takes the pain away.  Hence, blue emu is not meant to be a eczema skin cream.
