By carefully changing our routine, making sure we knew exactly what was in the products we put on our daughter, and making sure that her skin was always moisturized we've been able to get the eczema under control.

| The worst of it |
With winter coming, the worst time for dry skin, I worry that my daughter will have the flare ups she had last year. See the photos above to see how raw her skin became with the dryness of eczema
In an effort to be proactive I have searched high and low for a product we can use year round to make sure my daughter's skin stays clear and healthy. It's so painful to watch her scratch at her legs when it starts to get bad. And in my search I've found a system that works; Exederm, Ultra Sensitive Skincare.
We received three Exederm products:
- Hydrating Baby Lotion - Exederm body lotion cream is a non-irritating, lightweight, non-greasy and easy to spread lotion that deeply moisturizes without clogging pores. Use frequently to keep your skin soft, smooth and eczema free.
- Non-Irritating Baby Shampoo - Exederm shampoo is an ultra sensitive low-foam shampoo that gently cleanses hair and scalp without irritation or itch.
- Flare Control Cream - Exederm hydrocortisone cream is the only paraben-free hydrocortisone cream available in US. It is also the first and only hydrocortisone product to receive the National Eczema Association's coveted Seal of Acceptance with a perfect 5 out of 5 score.
When used together, these products can help keep eczema flare ups at bay and leave my daughter's skin shiny and smooth. And when you have a child with eczema, you know that shiny and smooth are a much wanted result!
Did you know there's a National Eczema Association? Neither did I!
The National Eczema Association helps to improve the lives of individuals living with eczema through research, support and education. They test out products used for eczema and rate them with their seal of approval if they meet their level of standards. I was happy to see that Exederm products were listed on their product directory.
By using the products above I've been able to create a routine to help make sure my daughter's skin stays hydrated at all times. The importance of moisturizing the skin is a very large factor in treating eczema and also helps keep those with eczema comfortable and itch-free.
After bathing our daughter with the Exederm shampoo, we make sure to moisturize her skin as soon as she gets out of the bath. By doing so we can lock in the moisture from the shower and not let her skin dry out from the bath.
I apply the Exederm flare control cream to her trouble areas, her thighs, and then use the Exederm baby lotion on the rest of her body. From head to toe she is covered in lotion. And she loves it! We make sure to let her be a part of this process and allow her to apply lotion to the parts of the body we've already moisturized.
Since using Exederm we have not seen bad flare ups like the photo above. Her skin has for the most part stayed healthy and free from excessive redness and tenderness.
And as my pediatrician recommends, her skin shines!

I am so glad it worked! My niece has eczema, so I will definitely be sharing this with them ;)

glad you found something that works. charlie has bad eczema. fortunately we have something that works but it isn't always easy to control. for him, it gets worse when he is under direct sun. hope our babes grow out of it!!
My daughter has really bad eczema and it breaks my heart watching her scratch at it. I will have to check this.
Glad you found something that works!
My daughter gets winter eczema, and with the weather changing her so fast I'm worried her skin is about to get dry patches. Ive never heard of this line, will have to check it out, thanks!
I don't suffer from it, but it makes me happy that you found something to help ease her suffering. Itching can make a person so miserable!
A-mazing! We are always on the lookout for eczema lotions - thank you!

I would love to try this for my teenager who suffers from eczema. sonyadmorris@gmail.com
My daughter has eczema and I have psoriasis. I imagine the cream would also keep my skin moisturized and help prevent psoriasis breakouts.
Haven't tried this yet--the weather changing seems to bring a little of this on a couple of the kids
My friends little boy had horrible skin problems I net the would have been a great help
Eczema just stinks! I know a couple little girls who could really benefit from these products.

This is so great, what a very much needed product for babies and little kids!! My kids didn't have eczema, but I do and my heart goes out to a little one with that pain and itching. I think I want to order this for me. :)

I would love to try these products, my daughter gets terribly dry skin in the winter time, so this is definitely something we'll try!
i would like to try the paraben free flare control cream. I never even realized hydrocortisone cream has parabens
Wow, I have been lucky here my girls never have any skin problems. My brothers 3 boys all had serious eczema and could have used something like this.
I love Exederm products. They really work great on sensitive skin.
I used to work for an allergy specialist and Exederm products really do work!
Great recommendation, thanks!
my children didnt have eczema...but i do..brought on my all the meds I take for my MS...so i am interested in trying these products for myself! lol thanks for the review!!
this would be great to have since we live in dry, cold Utah
Both my daughters have eczema (my oldest's is really bad!). I'd love to try these products!
I was born with this, and can remember as a child growing up it was NOT fun. Lucky for me, my kids didn't get it, but my eldest grandson did...
My daughter got eczema from my husband. We've tried so many products...over the counter as well as prescriptions. Would love to try this out! =)
My kids don't but my baby sister does. I'd love this for her. Rafflecopter: happi shopr
I love this! My youngest daughter has exzcema! This could be a great alternative to constantly using cortison!
I'd really like to try their hydrating baby lotion. My daughter's skin gets so dried out and itchy this time of year and she has very sensitive skin.
My son has eczema. I would love to try this on him. Thanks for the giveaway.
This seems like it works well! Thanks for the information!
