Did you find AVEENO® Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion nourishing for your baby’s skin?
Moisturisers are very important in our household as "Allergy Baby" has eczema and it is pretty severe all over her legs and arms. We have used over 10 different ointments and lotions (some prescription) to no real avail. Using this lotion did seem to alleviate some of the dryness and improve the appearance of her eczema. Given the relatively short period of trial use, it is unclear whether it would fully get rid of the eczema.
Did you think the AVEENO® Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion was better than the products you currently use on your baby’s skin?
We have used a long list of lotions and AVEENO® Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion was better in some respects. The lotion is non-greasy and fast absorbing, whereas some creams and ointments we have used have been greasy and messy to apply.
Were you surprised to find out AVEENO® Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion was formulated with natural colloidal oatmeal and oat essence?
I was surprised by this as I had no idea that moisturisers could be made from oats. I must admit I don’t know the significance of this, but if it works, it works. On a related note, Allergy Baby is actually allergic to eating oats, but is not allergic to this lotion. I know there isn't a direct link but wanted to mention it.
Would you say the product helped keep baby’s skin moisturised for 24 hours?
It is difficult to say whether it kept her skin moisturised for 24 hours as our child's eczema is particularly bad. However, the lotion does seem to have improved the dryness of her skin in general. Realistically, it would take a few more weeks of use to see the full results, but I would doubt that a full 24 hours would be achieved. In any event, we tend to moisturise her twice a day.
Did you find AVEENO® Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion fast absorbing?
Yes, the lotion is non-greasy and was fast absorbing. No issue at all with application and very pleasant in texture and smell.
Did you think the product provided fast relief for very dry skin? (if applicable)
I do think that the lotion did provide immediate relief for very dry skin, our daughter's skin is extremely dry (to the point of flaking and having cuts and spots). It is not fair to say whether the lotion would get rid of very dry skin altogether for children with eczema without carrying out a longer term trial. However the signs looked promising. I would be confident that it could help general dry skin but not sure about children with bad eczema.
Following the trial, would you swap your usual brand of baby lotion for AVEENO® Baby Daily Care Baby Moisturising Lotion?
I would trial the AVEENO® lotion for a longer period before deciding on this, but given all other lotions we have used have thus far been unsuccessful, I would definitely consider replacing them with AVEENO® lotion if it proved effective on a long term basis. It would even be worth paying more in that case.
