What face moisturiser does your 13 yr old with eczema use?

[perfectpanda]

Can anyone recommend a face moisturiser? She's getting a few spots now but also has mild patches of eczema on her face. When she was little we just used diprobase now and again, but I don't want to make her spots worse. What do you use?

Hi @perfectpanda I had eczema as a child and it was only recently I learned that moisturisers just trap moisture in, they do not ‘add’ moisture so to speak.. so they work best after the skin has been made damp with warm water and then applied... instead of applying to dry skin! It changed my skin completely as I was doing it incorrectly all those years! Diprobase is the best IMO, good luck.

I strongly recommend speaking to a dermatologist when you can but in the meantime, do you have cetaphil in the UK? I have very sensitive skin and have been recommended cetaphil wash and moisturiser by a few different people.

Thanks for the replies. I've bought some cetaphil so I will see how she gets on!
