Avene XeraCalm A.D. Lipid - Replenishing Balm 200ml

I have atopic dermatitis on my face, eyelids, around mouth and body.I use this on my face. It is a very pleasant balm, very rich,no fragrance, no stinging. Very nourishing. I have read reviews saying that this helps people get off steroids. I have been using this for couple of weeks. I am trying to get off protopic and steroids. I have gone for 2 weeks now without protopic and I have only used steroid once or twice in that time. It has definitely helped in the last 2 weeks but only time will tell if this can keep my eczema under control long term.I am using this morning, evening and sometimes more throughout the day especially around my mouth/lips. Only using this on my eczema patches.It helps with itching.Have already recommended to friends.I also have ... MoreI have atopic dermatitis on my face, eyelids, around mouth and body.I use this on my face.

I love this balm. My eczema is on my eyelids, normal creams/eye creams irritate it, never improving it. It's an area I shouldn't be using hydrocortisone. Within days I saw an improvement. I have now been using this as my eye cream for 2 years, and in that time, I have had 2 flair ups? And they weren't even that bad. My toddler has mild eczema on the backs of his knees, this cream did wonders for him too. The bottle is massive, so me only using one pump on my eyes, it lasts me for ever. Remember, this is a balm, so it's thicker, lies on top of skin. If you want a cream that's more penetrable, buy the cream in the same range :) Only negative, when you first use it, you need to pump the nozzle 1001 times before anything comes out. But don't give up, you're probably 30 ... MoreI love this balm. My eczema is on my eyelids, normal creams/eye creams irritate it, never improving it. It's an area I shouldn't be using hydrocortisone.

My partner has eczema and has flare ups regularly. He uses this as an alternate to the steroid cream having tried numerous other brands - this is the one that works best for him. He uses the cream daily - it’s not greasy and absorbs quickly. Would recommend for anyone with sensitive skin.
