In reply to Gaby. Also, I originally bought the one for eczema when I first developed it and struggling with steroid cream. Like the other person commented, Aveeno eczema lotion saved me!

I bought the wrong Aveeno lotion recently. It was like night day compared to the last one I had. The ingredients looked the same except for their active ingredients: the one that I loved listed colloidal oatmeal as active ingredient and the other one listed dimethicone. The one with colloidal oatmeal is marketed specifically for eczema and is a bit more expensive.

In reply to Janessa. Janessa, this is one instance when buying a product is better than making your own, unless you don't mind the mess, I agree. :)

I used to make oatmeal masks but they’re so messy I rarely do them. I’d much rather buy a mask to use, which has a thicker consistency and doesn’t run down my face. I’ve tried oatmeal with honey, with yogurt, ground up, with coconut oil. Still not my favorite.

I like First Aid Beatuy’s oatmeal mask.

In reply to Allison. Allison, colloidal oatmeal can be a godsend sometimes, can't it? But yeah, the mess, that's awful!

In the US, we have Aveeno products with colloidal oatmeal. When I had hives years ago, Aveeno colloidal oatmeal bath soak saved me…but the bathtub was a mess. Nevertheless, it was the only thing that worked.
