Dear Pissed Off...
Maybe it is your diet... aveeno, will not work on someone with Celiac... it can make things worse....is your skin condition on your elbows... you said your arms and now your neck.. it could be a food allergy that was just triggered by your immune system, from stress either physical or mental... if there are any yeses to these questions, I have lived this and discovered it was a food allergy... one more question.. do you have any digestive problems ?
if you would like to email me, please do, I lived with for over 10 years, before the rash, itch.. was diagnosed...

Aveeno did not work for my daughter. She loves the Renew intensive skin therapy.

Aveeno has cured my battle with eczema after years of misery I can now wear my clothes with comfort. I love the new formula of Aveeno and hope they don't change to the old one, perhaps the company should be making both!! I live in UK and buy Aveeno at BOOTS, however I love the Aveeno eczema care range which I have to buy, with great difficulty, online. Does anyone know of a US supplier? If not how can we get a supplier in USA to send it here with ease? I have wasted so much money, sometimes as much as £35 for one tube it's a total rip-off.

We are in MT, USA. My son is now nearly 9 months old and I have used Aveeno Eczema Care Moisturizing Cream now for a couple months. It has brought great relief to him and me as well.
He has had severe eczema since the first of the year, with it first lightly appearing in Oct of 2007. Nothing else makes his skin feel soft like this except a couple calendula creams I tried (California Baby and Jason brands-they didn't clear him up as well, however, and are much more expensive).
At first I was hesitant to use on his face, but it was working so well on his body I tried it on his face, too, which had the most severe eczema-weeping, etc. It works better than anything I have tried by far (and I've tried over a dozen things, staying away from steriod creams).
He has cleared up almost entirely and I think it is due to the use of this cream. I bathe him with the Aveeno colloidal oatmeal every other day. Also, prior to applying the cream I gently pat a damp washcloth on him to moisturize and cleanse first.
It has been wonderful to be able to see my childs unswollen, beautiful face again. I am able to do more things and not have to constantly watch him and keep him from scratching his face all the time. At night, I use a miracle blanket to swaddle him so he won't scratch in his sleep. My local drug store orders the cream in for me. Thank you, Aveeno! Thank you, Eczema Voice, for such a great space!

Hey Everyone,
Was just reading the recent messages about the change in Aveeno's formula, and how some users have found it makes eczema worse, or generally has become ineffective and feel quite worried now.
I've had eczema since I was 13, and have tried many things and creams. Recently I've had a major flare up and nothing works. Not E45 or Vaseline Intensive Care, which as another user has noted was once effective, but now no longer.
Today I finally managed to purchase some Aveeno at Boots after hearing wonders about it. I'm scared about whether to use it now, if it's really going to exacerbate my eczema.
Any advice?
Thanks
| By Kaila on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 04:18 pm: |
I was at the store the other day and noticed Aveeno came out with a new line called Eczema Care! I saw body wash and cream... so i bought the cream to try it out. I've been using it for a week now and it's been amazing at moisturizing my skin. Even the dry patches on my skin left over from rashes finally started going away. You guys should try it out. I'm gonna buy the body wash soon and see how that works. I live in America and I noticed most of you guys are in the UK.. hopefully you guys have it there too!
| By simonh on Thursday, February 07, 2008 - 03:51 pm: |
Hi, I have bad discoid eczema, which seems to flare up quite regularly, have used various topical steroids which seem to work, but as for general moisturising and emollients, I have used Oilatum (which didn't appear too good), and recently have been prescribed Aveeno. interesting to note the dietary effects that have been mentioned though. Excellent information on here though - thanks.
| By Natty on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 12:13 pm: |
I have found aveeno cream very good, although I think I am a little sensitive to the shower lotion because of the perfume. But by far the biggest influence on my skin is my diet. I was allergic to cow milk protein and artificial preservatives (found in bacon and sausages).
| By SH on Monday, September 03, 2007 - 03:18 pm: |
In reply to IR, I also found that the original formula worked very well and noticed straight away they had changed it.I have rung J&J up and had a moan about the change - don`t hold out any hope though.
I find it very frustrating when you find a product that works, only for it to change and either be less effective or make eczema worse.
Pretty sure the same has happened to vaseline intensive care range.I had used the lipid formula for a very long time only to find it has also been
changed and now giving me problems.
| By jamie on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 11:03 am: |
Hi Ive have been using Aveeno cream and bath oil for 2 days on my face. It hasnt caused any irritation but I find the substance sort of sticks to your skin. it isnt greasy but leaves skin a little sticky. It doesnt irritate in any way but lookin at it in the mirror it seems to make the layer of skin look slightly thicker.
Has anyone else experienced this and is it normal at the beginning, basically wat im asking does it tend to improve and feel/look better after say a month or so.
If anyone has any advice I wud be very very grateful as im unsure whether to go back to my old formula of oilatum or to perservere with Aveeno.
Thank you for reading this post and good luck with whichever course of treatment you are trying.
| By IR on Friday, July 13, 2007 - 07:52 pm: |
I'm in the UK and please be aware that the ingredients of Aveeno Cream have changed. We found the old formula to be a "miracle cure" for our son's quite bad eczema after having tried many, many other products with limited or no success. His skin has been vastly better for 2 years since we started using it and we got quite "evangelical" about it telling others how wonderful it was. Now, however, within a week of using the new formula Aveeno, his eczema is back with a vengeance and we have had to stop using it which is distressing as we have no idea what to try next. I have contacted Aveeno (Johnson and Johnson) by phone and the person I spoke to said that they may return to old formula if they have enough feedback saying that the new formula is causing problems. So, if you too find that Aveeno is no longer providing the relief it once did then PLEASE contact the company and let them know either by email at aveeno.co.uk (select Contact Us) or phone 0845 601 2261 between 9.30am-5pm Monday-Friday. Many thanks.

im from new zealand, have had excema all my life (23 years). in the later years it has been alot more severe with flare ups keeping me in my room for day (feeling like a leaper). i have use all the creams, steroids and have seen all the doctors. even super sensitive moisturisers wernt sensitive enough. Finally i had a bloodtest sent away to america to be annaylised for food allergy. turns out im highly sensitive to wheat, eggs, milk, soy and honey. by avoiding all these foods im feeling better than i can ever even remember feeling. my skin is really good and it isnt nearly as sensitive as it was. this may not work for you , but rather than covering the problem with creams or trying to fix it with pills, it may pay to have a look at what you put into your body that could be the cause of your problem.
| By Char on Monday, April 23, 2007 - 06:46 pm: |
Aveeno is great for immediate relief. I get quite bad isolted red patches of excema on my face (which are really very obvious) and the itching is often unbearable. My doctor prescribed Aveeno cream to me and I have to say that the texture is great as a moisturiser. A lot of moisturisers that I have bought for sensitive skin have only worsenned my skin on my face. I would definitely recommend Aveeno cream but after using it for almost a year, the itching and redness has come back with a vengence. I am quite unsure if this moitsuriser could encourage fungal infections to grow on the skin.....
| By Ste on Wednesday, October 25, 2006 - 10:24 pm: |
The A-Derma range is the European equivalent to Aveeno (kind of), in that its a range of cosmetics based around colloidal oatmeal.
As for skin washes they do a soap free bar, which I love for washing my body and face!
Im also trying out the epithelial creme, however this is more of a treatment rather than a daily moisturiser (it as retinol in it to quicken dermal regeneration, but daily use could act like a retinoid).
I'm interested in trying the Aveeno lotion/cream. I need a daily use facial moisturiser I can use after swimming, that wont clog pores or break me out.
| By Debbie on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 - 10:43 am: |
I would just like to say that Ive tried EVERYTHING on my two children. They both had eczema really badly on their face, arms and legs - so bad in fact that it bled regularly. I bought everything from Boots to combat it, E45, Oilatum and all the medicated creams (including steriods which I hated as both my kids are dark skinned and all it did was ruin their beautiful complexion). It was only by coming across Aveeno in these discussion boards that I tried it.
If you see my kids now, they are both free from eczema. Obviously I use non-bio to clean their clothes and bed linen which helps tremendously, but if you see their skin its such a great transformation. I use the baby wash and the baby moisturising cream and it really has worked a treat.
Everytime my family goes to the US I ensure they bring me back some as its so much more expensive here and I havent found any suppliers that stock the baby products. Even my mum who's a nurse couldnt believe what a dramatic change we've achieved, now my eldest daughter can wear a short sleeved shirt to school and not get teased.
Sorry if this sounds like I sell Aveeno on the side! I really don't! but I would say its so worth giving it a try. I also like the fact that its non medicated.
I couldn't recommend these products enough.

Hi
i've been atopic since childhood and recently shifted over to Aveeno Daily Lotion when a friend ,knowing my problem gifted it to me from the US. Is any of the range available in India at all??
| By Gina on Thursday, August 10, 2006 - 07:41 pm: |
Hi Rychi
THe cream is thicker and more moisturising but also more expensive and only comes in small tubes. If your skin is really dry I would go straight for that as the lotion may be too weak.
Good luck

I have suffered from Eczema since I was a child and have tried most creams and emollients over the years. I have found Aveeno to be the best product I've tried and I also use it for my daughter who had eczema as a baby (this luckily seems to have resolved now - mainly by cutting down on every day bathing; too much water seemed to cause her skin to lose it's own natural balance!). Aveeno combined with using natural cleaning products/washing powder where possible, and reducing/recognising 'stress factors' where possible seems to do the trick. Stress and seasonal changes definitely brings on my eczema flare ups, and Aveeno is really helpful at these times. We are lucky - our GP prescribes both the cream and bath oil - though they were hesitant initially until I pointed out that it was the only thing that worked!
| By Sarah on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 - 07:26 pm: |
Hi Covkid,
I don't think you can get that particular product, unless you order it in from abroad. As far as I'm aware only the cream, lotion, bath/shower oil and colloidal sachets are available in the UK. Would love for someone to prove me wrong though, as I am a total aveeno addict and would love to try some of their other stuff!
| By Covkid on Thursday, April 21, 2005 - 04:09 am: |
I recently tried Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash - Fragrance Free while holidaying in America.
It was excellent. Does anybody know where I could get this in England?
Thanks.
| By Gemarl on Saturday, April 16, 2005 - 10:35 pm: |
I had eczema for 30 years before I finally figured out how to get rid of it. For me the trick was:
1. Keeping the skin clean and at the right moisture level. Not to wet and not to dry. Especially not too dry. Do not allow sweat or food to start drying on the skin for more than a few minutes. After an exercise routine, the sweat must come off. It will cause flare-ups. I use Aveeno lotion (fragrance free) to catch any flare-ups. With Aveeno lotion, patches of eczema go away by the next day.
2. I use only hypoallergenic soaps to bathe. Once again Aveeno body wash fit the bill, here.
3. I also had to get rid of all of laundry detergents with perfumes or dyes. I only buy hypoallergenic laundry detergents. If I can't find that, I get the brand that says "FREE" of perfumes and/or dyes.
I use Aveeno lotion on the dry or sweaty spots, allow it to dry or wipe off the excess. I use only hypoallergenic body soaps. Liquids are better because they leave less of a film and they don't transfer irritant from other family members or user. I only buy hypoallergenic detergent. When I started this, I re-wash all of my clothes and bedding with the new detergent. I have yet to find any fabric softeners that are hypoallergenic. So I don't use them. Still looking though.

Just to update everyone, we managed to buy the cream from our local Boots and initial trials seemed positive.
We've now stopped all other creams/oils and are trying Aveeno on it's own, it seems to moisturise the skin very well.
If she's ok with it we'll probably pop to a larger store to buy the additional items in the Aveeno range.
| By Sarah on Sunday, April 10, 2005 - 09:16 pm: |
You can buy Aveeno from other pharmacies too - if they don't already stock it they will be able to order it for you. The cream is about £6.70 per 100ml tube at the community pharmacy I work at, and the lotion and bath oil cost slightly more.
I get mine on prescription as I use a lot of it and I get a prescription prepayment certificate to save on the cost. I've been using Aveeno for 11 years now and can't imagine life without it - on a bad skin day an Aveeno bath really helps me and I never leave the house without the cream in my bag!
| By Jen on Thursday, April 07, 2005 - 11:00 pm: |
Pyara,
most of the larger Boots stores should have Aveeno, but remember you can get this on prescription on the NHS from your GP if you request it.
| By Pyara on Thursday, April 07, 2005 - 10:52 am: |
Our 6 month baby daughter suffers from Ezchma and we have visited a dermatologist who has prescribed a moistorising cream and a steriod based anti-fungal/bacterial cream (trivate).
A lady at the clinic recommended 'aveeno', she said that she used it on her baby son. We live in London and I will try to obtain the product from the large Boots store at the (A13/A406) Beckton round about (Gallions Reach).
Any info would be appreciated.

A quick message from the USA. I used Aveeno CREAM for years (a much better moisturizer than the lotion Aveeno products or other popular agents - I tried them all over 35 years). Tragically, sometime in 2001 or so the entire product line was sold from SC Johnson Co. (based in Milwaukee) to Johnson and Johnson (J&J, makers of the famous baby shampoo) who discontinued the CREAM which so was superior for eczema. LUCKILY, J&J has just re-marketed the cream for babies as "Aveeno Baby". It's the same product repackaged 3 or 4 years later for infants! I'm sure you can get this product shipped to the UK or other places direct from J&J or friends from the US. The only other viable alternative I've found is MOO cream which was originally used on cow udders. It's also worth a shot - Good luck.

I have had eczema all my life and started using Aveeno when I was 12 (10 years ago). Before that I had tried pretty much every emollient and had lots of bad reactions, but luckily Aveeno has really worked for me. Of course it hasn't cured my eczema, I'm pretty sure I'm stuck with it now, but it really makes my life a lot easier! I use the cream, the lotion and the bath oil, all on prescription

AVEENO is definately on the shelf in BOOTS in York in skin care section. I'm sure you can order it to your local. However its cheaper on prescription-Iget 10 cream in one 'script' demand it, it is amazing!
| By punky on Wednesday, April 28, 2004 - 10:31 am: |
aveeno is a nice cream.... but its not an emollient. id reccommend it to ppl with dry skin but not necessarily 4 eczema cos 4 me if just didnt provide enuf moisture. HOWEVER i have switched bk 2 cetraen and aveeno has prompted me 2 try oatmeal poridge face masks. working well so far, just applying poridge 'juice' half an hour b4 i have a wash. I'll post when ive got a better idea of how its working!!

Having tried many different products in my life, Aveeno cream is the best so far! Although, it still leaves my skin dry after a couple of hours. Just keep some with you during the day and you'll be fine!

AVEENO is damn good in the beginning then seems to stop working (i'm speaking of specifically the lotion). EVERYTHING ELSE IS AMAZING!!! The shower oil, scrub, oatmeal soap, bubble bath....all of it works like a charm. But w/the lotion there is still dryness after a while...mabye I just have really dry skin~

Growing up with eczema Aveeno was one of the products my mom bought to help me, but it really only irritated my skin more. It has been at least 10 yrs since then so maybe the product is different now. I'm glad to hear that it does help some people. ;-)

I agree with David - Aveeno cream is excellent. Nothing else has worked for so well for me. I live in Spain and get it posted over from a chemist's in London.
In the States they also do a shaving cream. Another shaving cream which is excellent is the one for sensitive skin by Vichy.
One question - has anyone got any ideas about a good cream for cracked hands that is thicker than Aveeno and doesn't contain lanolin, perfume etc?

Aveeno Cream has been my mainstay emollient for years. It works for me like no other emollient. My GP prescribes it, and sometimes I buy it over the counter. Any pharmacy can get it for you. It costs £6.66. Recently, Bioglan has introduced Aveeno Lotion to the UK and I find it great too, in addition to the Aveeno Cream. In fact, I'm now using the Lotion as the main emollient. It is quicker and easier to appkly, and goes further. Curiously, too, unlike other lotions, it doesnt evaporate away too quickly. It leaves the same pleasant non-greasy film on the skin that the Cream leaves.

hi soozie,
i grew up in america and now live in wales in the uk (which i'm asuming you are in the uk as you mention boots) and i always used aveeno in america when i was a kid.
i've been in the uk for six years now and have never found it. my mother used to send it to me from the states. BUT i just walked into the phamacy the other day and said, 'do you know about how i can get this stuff?' and they said 'here. £7 please.' so you CAN get it over the counter here. what they gave me was the shower and bath gel.
the pharamy i went to was 'howard and palmer' but i think they may just be a south wales firm. so keep looking. if all else fails, you can take a trip to swansea. lol. hope you find it. let us know.

When I was a child I remember my Parents using a bath supplement for me and my brother called Aveeno. I have been trying in vain to find somewhere that sells this product. I have been into Boots who have it on their records but they dont sell it over the counter, they also mentioned that it is now available as a shower gel etc. I have been to my GP who wont prescribe as it will send him over his budget. Please Please help this stuff really helps me.

There was a big improvement in the eczema.

I tried the Kigelia Africana cream. I found that it did not help at all. For me, no other emollient works as well as Aveeno, a cream containing colloidal oat protein, which I get on prescription. I was interested to try the Kigelia cream, and i read all the blurb in the leaflet, but I'm afraid it didn't cut it!
I maintain a good emollient regime and over the years have tried very many emollients, but always the Aveeno works best on my skin.

Aveeno Cream, Aveeno Lotion, Aveno Oil, and Aveeno Oilated Bath Sachets should all be readily obtainable from any pharmacy shop in the UK, including most branches of Boots.
I got Aveeno Cream on prescription for years, and now get Aveeno Lotion on prescription. It's a recent addition to the range in the UK, is slightly thinner than the cream and is in a 400ml pump action dispenser.
Aveeno Oilated bath sachets are a sof money, in my opinion. Better to put fine oatmeal in a
J-Cloth secured by a rubber band in the bath.
Note that Aveeno was formerly distributed in the UK by Bioglan, who sadly went bust. It is now distributed by Johnson and Johnson. Any pharmacy will get it for you.
There is now another oat based range on the UK market. Exomega Cream and Aderma Cream (less greasy) are from Ducray Laboratories. Exomega is currently undergoing the procedure for registration from the MCA so that it will be prescribable by your GP.

I was recently advised to try Aveeno products by my specialist at the hospital, however they wouldn't prescribe them. I asked my GP and he gave me Aveeno Oil to try, it's wonderfully moisturising, it's about £7 for 250 mls but I get it on prescription, can be used as a shower / body wash or as a bath oil.

Soozie/all
The bath supplement, Im sure that you want is: 'Aveeno Colloidal Bath Powder with oatmeal'. I have it for my 2yr old son and its great, combined with wetwraps. it comes in boxes of 10 satchets and it looks brown in bath. INSIST on your doctor perscribing it as you will use it constantly.(or try local chemist) insist ,insist with your doctor!!! good luck

BUT i just walked into the phamacy the other day and said, 'do you know about how i can get this stuff?' and they said 'here. £7 please.' so you CAN get it over the counter here. what they gave me was the shower and bath gel.
the pharamy i went to was 'howard and palmer' but i think they may just be a south wales firm. so keep looking. if all else fails, you can take a trip to swansea. lol. hope you find it. let us know.

When I was a child I remember my Parents using a bath supplement for me and my brother called Aveeno. I have been trying in vain to find somewhere that sells this product. I have been into Boots who have it on their records but they dont sell it over the counter, they also mentioned that it is now available as a shower gel etc. I have been to my GP who wont prescribe as it will send him over his budget. Please Please help this stuff really helps me.
