Is it good for eczema?

Yes — it's made for very dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin, using oat and ceramides to relieve itching and strengthen the skin barrier. It's not a steroid; see a pharmacist if eczema is infected or won't settle.

How often can I use it?

As often as your skin needs — many people apply it two or three times a day, and always after washing to lock in moisture.

Which size should I buy?

This is the standard everyday size. Larger tubs are better value for regular all-over use; smaller ones are handy to carry.

Safety information 3

Fire safety with emollients

Emollients soaked into clothing, bedding or dressings can build up and catch fire more easily. Keep away from naked flames, cigarettes and direct heat, and wash fabrics regularly.

For eczema that won't settle, see a pharmacist

If skin is weeping, cracked, infected or not improving, or you think you need a steroid cream, speak to a pharmacist or GP.

External use; patch test

For external use only, avoiding the eyes. Patch test first if your skin is very reactive.

Product overview

About Aveeno Dermexa Emollient Cream

Aveeno Dermexa Emollient Cream is an emollient developed for very dry, itchy and eczema-prone skin. It combines Aveeno's Triple Oat Complex and ceramides to relieve itching and dryness and strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, with lasting relief clinically shown to soothe eczema-prone skin. Steroid-free and fragrance-free. This is the standard everyday size (300ml).

Soothing colloidal oatmeal

Colloidal oatmeal is the hero ingredient across the Aveeno range — a natural skin soother that relieves dryness and itching and helps protect the skin's moisture barrier, which is why it suits sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

Good for eczema-prone skin

Dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin has a weakened barrier that loses moisture and reacts easily. This emollient replaces that lost moisture and calms the itch, used as often as needed. It isn't a steroid cream — if your eczema is flaring badly or is infected, see a pharmacist.

How to use

Smooth generously over clean, dry skin as often as needed — ideally within a few minutes of a bath or shower to lock in moisture. Suitable for daily use all over the body.

Which size?

This is the standard everyday size. Aveeno emollients come in several sizes so you can keep a larger tub at home and a smaller one to hand.

Good to know

Fragrance-free and for external use. Emollients can make surfaces and fabrics slippery and flammable — take care around flames. Patch test if your skin is very reactive.
