When choosing a moisturizer for eczema, look for these key features:

• Products containing ceramides, glycerin, colloidal oatmeal, or hyaluronic acid
• Thicker formulations like creams and ointments rather than lotions
• Fragrance-free products only
• Products without additives like perfumes, dyes, or menthol
• Always do a patch test before full application While petroleum jelly and mineral oil are highly recommended for their effectiveness, some find them too greasy. A good alternative is using creams with ceramides, which create a protective moisture barrier while being less greasy. Skin-barrier creams containing lipids and ceramides are particularly helpful as they lock in moisture and protect against irritants.

Remember to apply moisturizers immediately after bathing to lock in the most moisture.
