Relieving Eczema Symptoms with Colloidal Oatmeal
For generations, the moisturizing properties of colloidal oatmeal to help restore, nourish and soothe the skin’s moisture barrier have been known to help compromised skin conditions. Colloidal oatmeal is the only skin protectant ingredient FDA-approved for the treatment of eczema.
Moisturizers are considered first-line therapy for the treatment of eczema. But not all emollients are alike. Aveeno® Eczema Therapy products are formulated with colloidal oatmeal, rich in proteins, vitamins B and E, and nourishing lipids that help restore and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, helping to relieve dry skin while helping to support the skin’s microbiome, for healthier looking skin.
The clinical benefits of colloidal oatmeal have been demonstrated through extensive research across diverse patient populations. In clinical studies, Aveeno® Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream has been shown to improve signs of atopic dermatitis from Day 1 and Aveeno® Eczema Therapy Itch Relief Balm provides immediate and long-lasting relief of dry, itchy skin.
Additional studies have shown Aveeno® Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream is proven to provide symptomatic relief, reduce topical corticosteroid use, and enhance quality of life in people with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Aveeno® Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream is an affordable and easily accessible treatment alternative to prescription barrier creams improving the skin moisture barrier with comparable efficacy.
