2021 Eczema Product Reviews

Aveeno

• Cost: $16.99 for an 11 oz jar

Since 1945, Aveeno has become one of the most respected names in the skincare industry. With a long history of developing effective skincare products that are not only trusted by customers but also recommended by healthcare professionals, Aveeno is a name to trust when deciding how to handle your eczema symptoms.

All of Aveeno's products are made using the most natural, sustainable ingredients possible, and they are never tested on animals. Aveeno is a Johnson & Johnson company, so you can also rest assured that if their product doesn't work for you, you can request a refund of your purchase price.

Aveeno's main eczema product is the Active Naturals Eczema Therapy Itch Relief Balm. This is a thick cream that uses colloidal oatmeal to strengthen your skin's natural barriers against irritants. With no fragrance, parabens, steroids or other common allergens, this balm helps your skin get relief for up to six hours after application. It's one of the most affordable products on the market: under $17 for an 11-ounce jar, which customers say goes a long way.

You can also get a smaller tube of Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin, and Aveeno also makes a Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm. For most of these purchases, you'll probably qualify for free shipping, which is an additional perk.

All of the products in Aveeno's eczema line receive rave reviews from their users. Specifically for the Eczema Therapy Itch Relief Balm, customers say that it soothes without stinging, brings relief for itchy skin almost immediately, and continues to be effective over the long term. This is true for users of all ages - from young children to the elderly,.

For the most budget-friendly, effective eczema product currently on the market, you can look no further than Aveeno. Because of their commitment to their customers over such a long history, Aveeno remains a name to trust, and their Eczema Therapy line is our first choice among products for eczema symptom relief.

Dove

• Cost: $10.34 for a 6.8 oz bottle

Dove is a household name for general beauty and skincare products - and well-known for its efforts to show that people are beautiful no matter their size, color, or shape. Their eczema products are a fitting component to helping you feel good inside and out.

As part of Dove's DermaSeries, their Eczema Relief Soothing Body Lotion is clinically proven to reduce itchiness. Like many reliable eczema lotions, Dove's main active ingredient is colloidal oatmeal. The formula's other ingredients are fragrance- and steroid-free, which should give you relief from itchiness, dryness, and irritation while being completely hypoallergenic. It should be applied in the morning and evening, and then as needed during a typical day.

Shipping is free for most customers. And, if Dove's eczema relief doesn't help your symptoms ease, you can return it within 30 days of purchase for a refund.

The only downside to buying the Dove DermaSeries Eczema Body Lotion, compared with our top choice? You get less. Where our first-place winner comes in an 11-ounce jar for under $17, Dove's lotion will run you $10.34 for a 6.8-ounce tube. Yes, if you do the math, they're almost equal - but you'll have to click that "buy now" button less often with a larger container.

Customers have good things to say about Dove's eczema lotion. Most people comment that it's been more effective than prescription-based products, and better than many competitor products. For some, the lotion seems to be almost too mild - so if you have particularly sensitive skin, this could be a good choice for you.

Overall, Dove's Eczema Relief Soothing Body Lotion is affordable, effective, and backed by a company you already know and trust. We recommend that you consider this product for eczema relief.

H Eczema

• Cost: $29.95 for a 33mL bottle (plus shipping)
• $69.95 for a 33mL bottle (free shipping)

H Eczema, manufactured by Healing Natural Oils, is an effective all-natural product that can soothe the symptoms of Eczema almost immediately.

With headquarters in California, Healing Natural Oils has been in business for nearly two decades and strives to provide relief from a wide range of ailments - all through natural ingredients that have been produced with no herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic components, and all within the US.

Healing Natural Oils also maintains a strong commitment to cruelty-free products, with no animal testing and no animal-sourced ingredients in what they sell.

When it comes to soothing Eczema, H-Eczema is an essential oil-based product, with Anacardium orientale and Iris versicolor as its primary components. It is applied by rubbing in just a drop or two on any affected areas, and it is absorbed quickly into the skin. It should ease the itching and dryness associated with eczema almost immediately, but long-term improvement of the skin's appearance can take a few weeks. As with any eczema product, results may vary depending on the severity of your condition and whether or not your skin responds to the active ingredients in the oil-based formula.

Although there are only a few dozen reviews of the product, almost every user says that H-Eczema gave them significant improvement, especially in stubborn areas that weren't helped by traditional creams and lotions. Some customers even used it successfully with young children; the company recommends use only for children ages 2 and up.

The product costs more than most others in our review. A small bottle is just under $30, and a larger bottle sells for almost $70. That sounds like a lot, but if you've ever used essential oils for any other reason (home fragrance, diffusing in the air, or applying topically), you already know that a little goes a long way. You may not need more than a drop a day, depending on how severe and/or extensive your eczema is.

Also, whichever size bottle you purchase, you're covered by a 90-day money-back guarantee. Whether you only try a drop or use the entire bottle, you can get a full refund when you return the bottle and receipt to Healing Natural Oils. Plus, the company enjoys an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau, so you don't have to worry that they may not honor the promised guarantee.

Because of this excellent reputation and demonstrated effectiveness for dealing with Eczema, we recommend Healing Natural Oils' H-Eczema formula - especially if you haven't had much luck with more traditional creams or lotions.

Terrasil

• Cost: $29.95 for the kit which includes 3 oz tube of Daily Care Cream and 1 oz tube of Severe Outbreak Ointment

Terrasil is a line of products from Aidance Skincare. When Terrasil was originally launched, it was marketed as a product to handle a variety of skin conditions. Over the past few years, Aidance continues to improve the Terrasil product and has now launched a line of specialty products to deal with specific skin conditions. One of these products is Terrasil Eczema & Psoriasis Kit, which offers the same great active ingredients in Terrasil that customers love, but with some enhancements specifically designed to combat Eczema.

Aidance Skincare was started in 1999 and has been offering a variety of skincare products to consumers for over 19 years. They have been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2005, earning an A+ rating. They also back up their products with a 90-day money back guarantee, which includes refunds for products you have used but are not satisfied with. This means you can try their products risk-free without worry. They even state on their website that less than 3% of their customers take advantage of this guarantee, which means that they deliver a high-quality product at exceptional levels of customer service!

Now let's get specific about the Terrasil Eczema & Psoriasis product. It is a 2-tube system that works hard to fight the frustrating effects of eczema and psoriasis by reliving itchiness, dryness and skin irritations. One of the products included in the kit is a 3 oz tube of the Daily Care Cream. Also included is a 1 oz tube of the Severe Outbreak Ointment that can be used to quickly provide relief when you have a major flare-up. The products are easy to use by massaging a small amount on the affected area up to 4 times a day.

Both products are made from all-natural ingredients and are free from steroids, unnecessary chemicals, artificial scents, parabens and other harmful preservatives. Plus, the products are made in the USA. The active ingredient in both products is Thuja for itch and irritation relief and Comfrey for inflammation relief. Inactive ingredients include Jojoba Oil, Beeswax and Peppermint Oil, all of which have proven benefits for dry and damaged skin. And because Terrasil Eczema is a Terrasil product, the patented Activated Minerals are included in the formulation to help the active ingredients work quickly and effectively, while also providing other skin care benefits.

Product reviews for Terrasil Eczema are mostly positive, but there are a few complaints about the product not working. While these comments are in the minority, it is important to keep in mind that even the best products may not work for everyone. The nice thing about Terrasil is that you can feel confident that if the product does not work for you, you will get your money back, if you return any unused product (or the empty container) within 90 days.

One drawback to Terrasil Eczema is the cost for the 2-tube kit. The list price on the website is $29.95, but sales prices are offered for the product frequently. Be on the look-out for these promotional deals so that you can stock up. Also, while the tubes in the kit offer significantly less product (only 3 oz) than others on this list, a little goes a long way, according to all the reviews. So, the price may be more competitive than you think. Be on the lookout because you may be surprised with a free shipping pop-up coupon, which will help you save on the total cost as well. You also need to be careful when applying the product because it can stain clothing. You can prevent this by covering the area with a bandage after application or by making sure the area dries completely before contacting your clothing.

While there are some drawbacks, we think these can be overlooked, especially if you are looking for a product that works fast and effectively. With the patented Activated Minerals working their magic, Terrasil's Eczema and Psoriasis products will work to relieve the itching and inflammation you may be experiencing. Plus, you get two products for one price and a risk-free 90-day money-back guarantee to help you feel confident in your purchase.

Cera Ve

• Cost: $14.18 for a 10 oz bottle of Soothing Body Wash
• $10.25 for an 8-oz bottle of Soothing Creamy Oil

CeraVe offers "advanced skincare without a prescription". Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe's eczema regimen consists of a two-step process: cleansing the skin with Soothing Body Wash, and then applying Soothing Creamy Oil.

Both products contain essential ceramides: part of the skin's natural barrier that keeps skin hydrated all day. And, you won't get any irritants like fragrance or parabens in this eczema product.

If you don't get the relief you need from either part of the CeraVe regimen, you can request a refund within 30 days.

So, most importantly, is CeraVe's eczema product line effective at delivering relief from itchy skin and keeping it moisturized? Results are mixed. With over 900 customer reviews, CeraVe averages about 4.1 out of 5 stars. Like most skincare products, what works for one person may not be effective for another. The most common complaints we saw were that the Soothing Creamy Oil was much greasier than a typical eczema lotion; one user even said that they slipped in the tub while applying it. Other customers said that the fragrance-free formula has an unpleasant smell.

We like that CeraVe is priced well, and that customers have the option of trying just the Body Wash or the Soothing Oil - especially since few eczema products include a cleanser and only focus on a lotion or cream, having a body wash could be a nice complement to a product from another supplier.

But, the bad smell and greasy texture of the oil, along with the lack of results for some users, leave CeraVe in the middle of the pack when it comes to fighting eczema.

Skintifique

• Cost: $37.99 for 1.35 fl.oz Hydrating Gel + 6.76 fl.oz Moisturizing Lotion

Skintifique is the creation of two scientists: Dr. Jacques Delort, a former medical researcher, and Dr. Jeffrey Karp, a professor of medicine at MIT and Harvard Medical School. The two built a team with the goal of bringing innovation to the dermatology field through evidence-based skincare solutions

Although Skintifique has only been in business for six years, they've already established an "A+" reputation with the Better Business Bureau: zero registered complaints.

The Skintifique eczema product consists of two products that can be purchased together or separately:

• Moisturizing Lotion HP: designed to moisturize and protect skin from environmental stressors like metals and dryness.
• Hydrating Gel Plus HS: works as an intense moisturizer to soothe and repair eczema-irritated skin

The company prides itself on selling products with a limited number of ingredients, so that there's a smaller chance of any skin reaction. In the Eczema pack items, you won't find fragrances, sulfates, gluten, mineral oil, metals, paraben, or lanolin. Their products are also eco-friendly and vegan.

So, what is in the Skintifique Gel and Lotion? Just 8 and 13 ingredients, respectively - such as glycerin, castor seed oil, and a number of other products you won't likely know by name (e.g. Bisabolol, Chlorphenesin, Glyceryl stearate).

Compared with other companies that sell eczema products, Skintifique comes up very short in terms of their customer satisfaction / return policy. First, you won't find that information readily displayed: you'll have to dig for it in the terms and conditions, where some of the page is actually written in French! Even when you find it, it's not clearly spelled out. Will you get your money back if the Skintifique regimen doesn't help your symptoms? Maybe, maybe not. Will you have to ship the return to France if you are deemed eligible for one? Possibly.

And if you want to try and contact their customer service? You guessed it: you'll have to call a phone number...in France. At least, that's what you'll find in the terms and conditions: but then, on the general Contact Us Page, voila: a toll-free number in the States with a US address.

That would be good information to make clear, because customer reviews are pretty mixed. Some people said that the Gel and Lotion are the perfect 1-2 punch to finally relieve their eczema, while others say that not only did the Skintifique regimen not help their symptoms, it actually made them worse!

While we love Skintifique's scientific-yet-minimalist approach to fighting eczema and their positive track record with the BBB, their site and customer policies could do more to earn the average consumer's business and trust.

Biogetica

• Cost: From $39 to $99, depending on the selected product

From the first moment you visit the Biogetica website, you'll know you're not getting a traditional "apply this cream and wait a day" approach to fighting Eczema. Biogetica combines a wide range of traditions - Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Siddha Medicine, Naturopathy, Bio-Energetics, Chinese medicine, Nutrition, and more - to bring nature-based wellness to patients with a variety of conditions. It's also the only Eczema product company that offers a complimentary consultation with a doctor, to help you determine what the best course is for your individual needs.

When it comes to Eczema, Biogetica uses a natural approach that targets the root causes of the condition, though herbal extracts, advanced nutraceuticals, and bio-energetic resonance homeopathies. Not sure what all of those are? That's okay - we weren't either, when we started looking at the Biogetica site. What we did understand clearly is that many of the ingredients that form part of the Eczema regimen have been documented as effective - and you can find links to those on the Biogetica product page for Eczema.

There are several product kits designed to address Eczema:

• Biogetica Freedom Kit, with Skin-H Dry Eczemease Formula: Takzema Tablets and Ointment, an ayurvedic herbal remedy that helps regulate the immune system while supporting the skin's function and structure; HoloRam Detoxym, capsules that helps the body detox and improves bioregulation; and Sang-Pure tablets, an herbal remedy that balances the immune system and detoxifies the blood. This kit sells for $99, plus shipping costs of $5 to $11, depending on the delivery speed.
• Biogetica Freedom Kit, with Skin-F Wet Formula: Unfortunately Biogetica doesn't explain the difference between this and the Skin-H Dry Eczemease Formula. The list of included kit components is the same.
• Biogetica Essentials Kit with C6 Dry Eczemease Formula: this kit includes two liquid components that help with itchy skin and balancing all of the skin's functions. See the site for an exhaustive ingredient list. This kit sells for $75, but there's no description of how it's applied or how long you should expect it to last. Includes a bottle of T27 Skin Liquescence, which can also be purchased separately for $39. This component helps establish normal, healthy skin function.
• Biogetica Essentials Kit with C136 Support-W: This is designed for skin that may have drainage issues or a weeping skin condition. Includes a bottle of T27 Skin Liquescence, which can also be purchased separately for $39. This component helps establish normal, healthy skin function.

Be aware that your purchase may ship from locations around the world, including India. We found several customers who said that they had to wait quite a while before receiving their shipments.

It's challenging to determine if Biogetica offers a well-established product for Eczema. The business doesn't have a rating with the BBB, and the listed company address in the US is a private residence in Beverly Hills. There are numerous testimonials on the website, but only a handful were related to their eczema product line. On the other hand, the company has almost 100,000 "likes" on their Facebook page, giving the impression that their customers are generally happy with the results they get - which could be true for their eczema line as well.

Another plus is Biogetica's satisfaction guarantee: 100% money back within 90 days of your purchase.

Finally, what other company offers to give you their products for free or at a reduced cost if you can't afford it? According to Biogetica, they put people before profits: which means that if you send them more information on your health, financial condition, and address, their doctors will review your case and send you their recommended option for whatever donation you can afford.

If you've tried traditional approaches to dealing with Eczema and nothing has worked, Biogetica might be a good choice for trying a more natural/homeopathic strategy - if you have the patience to sift through some of their more unconventional practices.

Revitol

• Cost: $39.95 for 1 tube (1-month supply)
• $79.90 for 3 tubes (3-month supply)
• $119.85 for 5 tubes (5-month supply)

Revitol offers a variety of creams to fight numerous conditions ranging from Eczema to Stretch Marks. The company was founded in 2002.

What's in Revitol's Eczema Cream? Its primary active ingredient is Colloidal Oatmeal, which protects skin from environmental irritants while also offering relief to itchy, inflamed skin. Other ingredients include the following:

• Allantoin
• Beeswax
• Benzyl and Cetyl Alcohol
• Chamomile Extract
• Grapefruit Seed Extract
• Cucumber Fruit Extract
• Lanolin
• Paraffin Wax
• Sweet Almond Oil

If you have any particular sensitivities, you should be sure to read the full ingredient list on the Revitol website.

The cream is applied twice daily or as needed, and according to Revitol, the product has been clinically shown to give users visibly healthier skin within three days of use.

Revitol is much more expensive than many of the eczema products we reviewed. They don't specify how much product is in each tube, but you'll spend $39.95 for just one - which the company says should last you a month. You can save money by buying more: a 3-tube package costs $79.90, while 5 tubes sell for $119.85. All purchases include free shipping.

While Revitol does have a 90-day money-back guarantee, it only applies to unused and unopened items. In other words, if you buy a tube for $39.95 and find that it doesn't help your eczema - or worse, that it exacerbates the symptoms - you aren't eligible for a refund. That puts Revitol at the bottom of the rankings among eczema products - because most of their competitors allow you to try their products and get a refund if it doesn't work well for your skin.

Additionally, when we Googled Revitol's toll-free number, it came up as the contact information for a number of other product sites - and many of those sites and businesses had very bad ratings at the Better Business Bureau.

For all of these reasons, we recommend that you consider an eczema product among the higher-ranked choices in our review: Revitol just doesn't seem to deliver what it promises.
