Let me start off by saying my son is currently five months old and for the past three months he's had severe eczema. We first assumed it was an obvious food allergy that was causing his skin to break out, but after several stressfully-waited formula trials; we were able to find a miracle in a can, Neocate, this hypo-allergenic milk that worked. That is literally one of the most broken down baby formulas you can buy and not to mention very pricey. So you could imagine my stress once my son's eczema began to resurface.
The dreadful and much hated eczema randomly began to populate the back of his thighs, both arms, cheeks, and the back of his ears. He was miserable and constantly itching and crying. At this point I had enough and immediately began to research eczema like a mad man. After investing all my free time into finding the cause I was eventually able to find Exederm.
Now I've tried every moisturizer, cream, oil, soap, shampoo, intensive moisturizers, and even ointment's just to be upset over and over again. I've been disappointed by Johnson's, Aveno, Aquaphor, and every other company out there. All these products contained some sort of oil, fragrance, or chemical that was harmful to my poor son's skin. I then researched the National Eczema Associations website and started to find better products which were Aveno extensive care, Cetaphyl, and Mustella. They all contained some sort of potentially harmful ingredient or irritant. Mustella seemed to be working the best, but then stared to irritate his eczema. Then I read the ingredients and saw that it contained Almond oil along with some other oils in there that can irritate eczema. I immediately stopped using Mustella (Which scored a 5/5 on the NEA website) and decided to try the last product from the national Eczema association to score a 5/5, Exederm.
I've literally could see an immediate difference within the first two days. His skin stopped inflating and slowly began to get lighter and lighter. I've been applying the creams, using the soaps, and using the bath oil and within two weeks his eczema is almost non-existent. I've been struggling for four months now and finally found a good product.
Some reviewers and people will say this product doesn't moisturize, it doesn't feel good, it goes on weird, it has a weird consistency, and all of the above. That's great, but this product wasn't made to be the #1 moisturizer and it wasn't made to be the perfect intensive hydrating formula. This product was made specifically and only to cater to those who suffer from Eczema, allergies, dermatitis, sensitive, or those who simply don't want to apply a whole pile of C*ap on their skin.
I can't speak for everyone, but I can say for us this company has been a miracle. Do your own research, simply look at the ingredients and you'll see what all these other products contain. Go to their websites and determine what best fits your baby's needs (or yours). Visit, Exederm. com or the National Eczema Association to read what they are all about and then make your own judgmental decision.
If you have read this and you are a parent going through the same heart ache that I endured; TRY THIS PRODUCT OUT NOW! I highly recommend it.Everything was making my little one's eczema flare up and she was scratching all the time. I discovered Exederm and it stopped. I've told all my friends with children about it and a few have come back thanking me.
I've even started using the Exederm soap because I have been so dry this winter, and it has worked great for me.
I highly recommend this product!
