Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm 312 g

Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm is a thick, fragrance-free skin protectant balm for babies' skin that is prone to eczema and feels dry and itchy. Aveeno made it for bedtime, so it gives a rich layer of moisture that lasts through the night without a greasy feel.

The balm combines 1% colloidal oatmeal, the active skin-protectant ingredient, with ceramide and oat oil to help moisturise and support the skin barrier. On the pack, Aveeno says it relieves the dryness, itch and irritation linked to eczema. The brand also describes it as steroid free and hypoallergenic.

It carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, and the brand says it is recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists. The large 312 g (11 oz) jar is a US over-the-counter product, convenient for nightly use on the body and face.
