When should I use the balm instead of the cream?

Use the balm on rough, itchy flare-up patches that need more intensive relief; use the daily cream all over for everyday moisturising.

No — it's a steroid-free emollient balm. It soothes eczema-prone skin but doesn't replace prescribed treatment for a bad or infected flare.

How fast does it work?

It's designed for fast itch relief on application and to keep soothing skin for up to 24 hours.

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 Fast & Long-Lasting Balm

Aveeno Dermexa Fast & Long-Lasting Balm is an intensive rescue balm for very dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin. It delivers fast relief from itching and works to soothe skin for up to 24 hours, using Aveeno's Triple Oat Complex and ceramides to calm irritation and rebuild the skin barrier. Steroid-free and fragrance-free. 75ml.

For flare-ups and rough, itchy patches

When dry, eczema-prone skin flares into rough, itchy patches, a richer balm helps more than a light lotion. This balm targets those areas — elbows, knees, hands, ankles — with concentrated oat and ceramides to relieve the itch and hold moisture in.

How to use

Apply to affected areas as needed for fast relief. Can be used daily alongside the Dermexa cream and body wash as part of an eczema-prone skincare routine.

Good to know

Steroid-free and fragrance-free, for external use. It isn't a substitute for prescribed eczema treatment — if skin is infected or a flare won't settle, see a pharmacist or GP. Take care around flames as emollients can be flammable on fabric.
