I had really only been using one other lotion on my son's skin before I started the Aveeno but hadn't noticed much of a change with his skin. Once I started using this the difference came quite quickly. The skin behind his knees is far less dry and red. Also his thighs are much smoother now. I will definitely keep using this with him. Highly recommend it!

I have used these products since getting them on my 22 month old who has very dry skin, especially on his legs. It gets very bad and irritates him a lot, and the dryness seems to build over time when not cured. I used a couple of creams previously, one of them quite an expensive cream which i thought was helping until i used the Aveeno cream which is much better and led to more improvement quickly. To be honest, i think the cream is more useful than the wash. As its his legs that are dry, its hard to get the wash on them as he is sitting in the bath. But the cream alone is great and i have been putting it on once a day. It leaves a funny feeling on my hands after i put it on, but washing my hands gets rid of it!

I had used Aveeno cream before but not on my son. And i find this cream a lot better than other Aveeno creams. I will continue to use the cream, but not the wash, and will recommend the cream to others. Thank you!

I found this to be very efficient on my baby boy, he had patches of dry skin on his legs and some on his arms. I sued the cream twice daily once in the morning and then again in the evening affter bath time. The cream has a very pleasant smell and also spreads on the body very easily. I also used this on my other boy he does'nt have dry skin but used it as a moisturiser after bath times and found it to be excellent. I will continue to use the cream on both of them.

Regards,
Ciara

My baby is 18 months and has suffered from eczema since he was a few weeks old. It is especially bad on his legs and he is often scratching himself, especially at night. When he has flare ups he tends not to sleep very well. I’ve tried various creams but nothing seems to work very well. My doctor prescribed a steroid cream for when the flare ups get especially bad but I hate using it on his delicate skin.

I had never tried Aveeno products and wasn’t sure what to expect. I have to say I was delighted with the results. I used the wash and cream on the first day of the trial and noticed a difference straight away, especially on his legs. After two weeks of using the products his skin is now as soft as a baby’s should be and the eczema has almost completely cleared up.

I suffer from psoriasis myself and have now started using Aveeno…I have found it brilliant! My skin is so much softer and it is keeping my psoriasis at bay. I will continue to buy both the wash and the cream from now on.

My ten month old suffers from eczema since he was 6 months he has a very bad patch on his face which won't disappear until I got Aveeno Dermexa, the wash is fab it's so gently on the skin, after his bath we put on the Aveeno Dermexa cream and by morning his face had cleared up by at least 70% amazing iv been using both products for past four weeks and it's wonderful. Before this I had been using steroid creams which I hated using I will be telling the dermatology department about this product because it is fab. It made me so sad to see him covered in red itchy patches but now to look at him you never know he had eczema thank Aveeno Dermexa and mummy pages

I have previously used the Aveeno brand, it was prescribed to me for my daughters eczema. I believe it was the moisturising cream which contained oats.

My son gets round dry patches on his arms, belly, back and face. He gets irritated by it when it flairs up and is continually rubs his skin. I hate to see the patches on him and watching him get irritated when he gets a flair up.

Like my son I get flair ups of dry skin. They tend to be patches. My son’s skin gets worse than mine but I wouldn’t call it severe because it’s not there all the time.

I currently use prescribed cream from my doctor for my sons skin.

After the first application of Aveeno the skin on both me and my son felt a lot smoother. It didn’t feel greasy compared to most products I have used in the past. I loved the way it made my skin feel immediately.

I found  Aveeno® Dermexa Soothing Emollient Wash was great and easy to use especially when my son had a bad spell with his skin, it was gentle and soothed his skin after a period of time in the bath using this product. It was great for cleaning as well sooth him and I absolutely loved the smell.

The skin was instantly soothed when using Aveeno® Dermexa Soothing Emollient Cream and took to the skin well leaving no residue. It was very easy to apply and again I loved the smell.

Straight away after use of both products on me and my son our skin was so much better. I loved how it made my skin feel and my son seemed far more comfortable, he wasn’t as irritated as he would have normally have been.

My son has never been a great sleeper regardless of how his skin is at the time so here I found no difference. He was however a lot more comfortable and it was a great pleasure to see when he went to bed.

My ideal product would be something that was easy to use, absorbed easily, worked fast, had lasting effects, smelled nice and was a reasonable price.

I will most certainly be using this product again for me, my son and the rest of my family. I loved it and it was a true pleasure to trial it. I raved about this brand before and even more so now. Truly brilliant!!!

My 17 month old daughter has dermatitis/eczema in little patches on her arms legs & particularly one spot on her upper shoulder. She only started getting these red dry & irritating spots since she is 1? I brought her to the doctor to get these checked out & i was advised to use an emulsfying ointment & a hydrocortisol skin cream. Both of these i had been using up untill a month ago when i started to use the aveeno dermexa emoillent cream & emollient wash which i find much more effective. I had been using the other products 5 months & there was little change in my daughters skin & i did not want to use the hydrocortisol cream long-term as its quite harsh on a babys skin. This was my first time to use the aveeno products & i am very happy with the results of these on my daughters skin already. I feel so sorry for her when shes scratching & irritated from the dry red spots & i know it must be very uncomfortable on her. Since using the aveeno products during the past month her skin has definitely calmed down. The crusty red spots are less severe & there is nothing on her legs at all now!! Her skin overall is very soft & has a silky touch & look to it:-) When i used the emollient wash on her in the bath i found it to be much more sensitive on her skin as the other product i have been using for some time now called "simple" has been.

It was very easy to apply & i felt it was not at all harsh or rough as when i dried her out of the bath her skin seemed soft & calm looking & the red spots less blotchy. The emollient cream is very easily absorbed & is not at all greasy. It smoothes over the skin very evenly also. My daughter is much more comfortable in herself, THere is less scratching & discomfort with her skin both day & night due to these aveeno products. I would describe these product brands as gently on babys irrttitated dry itchy red skin & calming with soft textures & soothing & effective results. I will continue to use aveeno on my daughters skin as it has without a doubt improved her skin condition & made us both happier in easing the discomfort for her. I would highly recommend these products to anyone else that would think about using them & they are very affordable with great outcomes.

Hi MummyPages,
I was so delighted to take part in this trial as my daughter has had eczema since she was a few weeks old. She gets very dry skin on her legs, arms and cheeks and until now I hadn’t found a product that helped.
From the first use of the wash and the cream I could see a difference in her skin. I only used the wash when I give her a bath (only twice a week as the doctor said water can cause the eczema to get worse). I use the cream on her every day. The eczema on her cheeks has been especially bad recently as she’s been teething but as soon as I started using the cream, it cleared up almost immediately.
Her skin is now really soft and she is sleeping much better now that the eczema is clearing up.
I am delighted with both these products and am amazed at how quickly they worked. I will be buying them for now and will be recommending them to all my friends who have babies.
Thank you for letting me take part in the trial. x

I had never used Aveeno products before but I was really looking forward to trying them as everything else I tried hasn’t worked very effectively. My 18 month old has very bad eczema. It really irritates him and the dryness seems to build up if it’s not treated regularly. I have tried a few different products but I didn’t find them very effective. I have spent lots of money on trying different products and visiting the doctor so was really at my wits end. When I saw this trial I was really excited as I thought I had run out of options.
His eczema has been flaring up recently and there would sometimes even be blood on this bedclothes in the morning because of all the scratching. His skin looked raw and, if I’m honest, I was a little wary of putting these products on it because his skin was so tender looking. Well, I wish I had started using these products sooner. I am so impressed with both the cream and the wash. Within days of using the wash and cream his skin had improved drastically. His skin is so soft now and he is no longer scratching at night which means no more bleeding (and less washing for mummy!)
I’m so delighted to have found these Aveeno products and will definitely continue to buy them.

Thank you for choosing my family to take part in the Aveeno trial. Both my little girls suffer from dry skin and I have psoriasis so all three of us gave the products a go. My girls have dry patches on their elbows, behind their knees and on their cheeks, while I have patches of psoriasis on my arms and scalp. I always keep on top of my psoriasis so it never gets too severe unless I’m particularly stressed out. The girls’ dry skin is easy to manage once I constantly treat it.
We found Aveeno great. I had never tried them before but I will definitely continue to use them. When I used the wash I felt like the skin was being given a protective layer that lasts days which is great as I bath the girls twice a week. Their dry patches completely disappeared within a week and both the cream and wash were really easy to use. My skin is also much softer and the patches of psoriasis on my arms have almost cleared. My husband has even started using the products as he noticed how much softer my skin was!
As soon as our bottles of Aveeno wash and cream run out I will be heading straight to the pharmacy to stock up on more.

My daughter is 4 months old daughter suffers badly from eczema. So did her brother when he was a baby but has since cleared up.
I normally use Silcock’s base and aqueous cream or E45 and avoid bathing her too often…only once a week. While I was doing everything recommended to me by the doctor, nothing has seemed to work for my daughter. When I received the samples from Aveeno she was going through a particularly bad spell and her skin looked really raw.
The Aveeno products cleared her rough, raw patches almost immediately. They worked like no other cream I had tried before.
I will probably still continue to use cortisone when her skin is infected, but for the rest of the time I will use Aveeno. The wash seemed really gentle and wasn’t too greasy or slippery when using in the bath. I have also started using the cream myself as I found it leaves the skin really smooth.
This is the best product I have come across for eczema so far and I would happily recommend it to other mums.

My 14 month old daughter has small patches of eczema on her arms and legs. She only started getting these dry red patches a couple of months ago. We went to the doctor and he advised me to use an emulsifying ointment and hydrocortisone on the really bad patches. I was using both of these until I started using the Aveeno Dermexa emoillent Cream and emollient wash. I had been using the other products for 2 months but there was little improvement. After just one go of the Aveeno products I am delighted to say her skin improved immediately. I’ve been using the products for two weeks now and her eczema seems to have totally cleared. I hate to see her scratch and I can tell it is very uncomfortable for her so I am really happy to have found something to relieve the itching. Her skin is soft all over and really silky. I found the wash is much more sensitive on her skin than other products. Before I found that her skin would be very irritated after a bath but now with Aveeno there is no irritation. The products were really easy to apply and they went on her rough skin smoothly. The cream seemed to absorb quickly and she is a lot more comfortable now. I would highly recommend Aveeno Dermexa to any mum whose child has eczema. Not only do they work really well but they are also affordable.

My baby girl was overdue by 12 days and as a result her skin has always been very dry. I have tried lots of products but I wasn’t that happy with any of them. Some helped a little bit but left a greasy residue on the skin while others were completely useless.
I started using Aveeno Dermexa 2 weeks ago and I am amazed at the difference. The wash was really simple to apply in the bath. It cleans and soothes my baby’s skin without leaving that greasy feeling. I even noticed that my own hands were much softer after bathing her. I then use the Dermexa cream after her bath/before bed. It absorbs really quickly and glides onto the skin leaving it feeling beautifully silky.
Since using these products her skin is far more comfortable and she no longer scratches. These are the only products I will be using from now on.

I have been using Aveeno Dermexa on my 10 month old boy for 2 weeks and I have found both products amazing.
The first day I used the wash and then that evening I used the cream before bed. I put on his baby grow after applying and the following morning I could feel the difference straight away. His legs are usually dry but after using the dream they were soft and any rough patches had cleared up. I even use it on myself now because I find it so good! His dry patches are completely gone now and I am so delighted to know his delicate skin now looks and feels so much better. I will continue to use the products on both my son and myself.
Thank you for including me, I really appreciate it as I don’t think I would have tried these products if I didn’t come across this trial.
