Cetaphil Pro Restoraderm Gentle Body Moisturizer, Eczema Calming, 10-Fluid Ounces

As an eczema sufferer, I am very optimistic about this new formulation. I'm cautious to give a full endorsement because I've only been using it for a week, but I'm impressed with what I see so far . When applied, it feels like a simple moisturizer but it lasts like a heavy duty thick skin therapy-- comparable to petroleum jelly, or a tub of Eucerin skin repair. I can only tell it was on my skin when I take a shower at night or the next day and I can feel the protective layer it created. There's absolutely nothing else like this. IMPORTANT: Like any lotion used for eczema treatment, you want to apply this within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower. This is important for creating a protective barrier and locking in moisture. A number of people have complained that this burns their skin or their child's skin. I suspect they applied this directly to an area where the eczema was flaring up. I did this once with restoraderm to part of my neck that was flaring up and yes, it will sting-- similar to any lotion that is not a simple variation on petroleum jelly or something very hypoallergenic. This is not what this lotion is for. First, get the inflamed site under control with your doctor's recommended steroidcream. After this skin heals up, you use lotion to maintain the protective layer that many eczema sufferers lack. This is what Restoraderm specializes in. This ceramide therapy is cutting edge. Many people with eczema suffer from a deficiency in Filaggrin, a protein that helps maintain the protective layer on the surface of the skin. (I can't insert a web URL here but look up Filaggrin on wikipedia) Ceramides act as a signaling molecule to stimulate production of more Filaggrin. (Look up ceramides on wikipedia) This stuff is basically medicine. I'm glad I don't need a prescription. Of course, the only downside is the high cost, but this might come down over time. And it's a small price to pay compared to the thousands of dollars I've dropped on dermatologists who have no idea what's going on.

I have been using this lotion along with the body wash on my baby boy since he was an infant. He is now 18 months old, and we still use it daily. My baby had eczema on his face and some on his body in the early months. I tried other moisturizers: Eucerin, Aquaphor which is totally greasy and made it worse, and Aveeno Baby Eczema Cream. The Restoraderm body wash and lotion were recommended by my pediatric dermatologist. We use both daily. The lotion is very rich and moisturizing without being too greasy. It works well with the body wash. The body wash is gentle with low foam and little smell. Since I use both the wash and the lotion, I cannot say definitively that this lotion eliminated my son's eczema alone. I would not say it is a 'cure' for eczema, but it definitely improves the condition of the skin for faster healing. I do recommend using both in tandem. It seems that my son's skin began to look healthier over time and today he rarely has any eczema outbreaks. His skin is nice and smooth now, especially on his cheeks. I am so glad we found this solution for us because I did not want to use steroidal creams on a daily basis. The prescription cream that we used sparingly and rarely was desonide. This lotion and body wash really made a difference and prevented us from having to rely solely on a steroid cream. The lotion and wash are sometimes hard to find in stores, and are very expensive when you do find them. If you use it on a regular basis and don't have time to run around town searching for them, I recommend Amazon's subscribe and save feature. Amazon's price is the lowest I have found. If you are in a pinch, the Aveeno Baby Eczema Cream is a good alternative, but is a tad lighter although I do like the Aveeno on the face. As another reviewer noted, please test this product and any other product on your baby before slathering it all over to ensure there is no allergic reaction to the product. There is always the potential for the rare occurrence of an allergic reaction. I hope that this product works for the vast majority of babies/people. It definitely works for us!

My nephew, who is 7 years old, has had eczema since he was a baby. So when my 3 month old also got eczema, I called my sister for advice. She swears by Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy, and I can tell you it worked wonders for my nephew. So I bought it for my baby and started using it. The eczema never got better, it was just like we weren't putting anything on it. After almost two weeks, I went to amazon and started reading reviews for different products. I looked at Cerave and saw another reviewer recommended the Cetaphil Restoraderm over the Cerave because of questionable ingredients. So I ordered the Cetaphil Restoraderm. What a difference! The eczema had got so bad we were going to take him to the doctor the next day. Two applications of this and it started clearing up. We are now on the third day and his eczema spots are almost gone, his skin feels like the soft baby skin it used to feel like. I love that this isn't greasy. It was so hard to put clothes back on our baby after applying the Aveeno product, this soaks in nicely but also doesn't feel like it just soaks away. I just bought a second bottle to keep at our in laws. It would be nice if it came in a different bottle than a pump bottle since the pump bottle can't be transported easily. Even though this isn't a "baby" product it does say safe for babies as young as 3 months. When I first tried it on him I was worried it would sting like some reviewers had said. I watched his face closely and he didn't even flinch. He didn't have any broken skin spots, but the skin was so red and irritated I wondered if it might sting him. I have purposefully rubbed my eyes after applying the lotion on him and I do feel a little tingly sensation, so it might burn if a large amount got into eyes.

I'm an endurance swimmer and the chemicals in the pool cause major problems with my skin - when the chemistry of the pool is altered (post-chlorine, etc.) or when I go into saltwater, my skin sort of goes crazy and really gets dry and itchy. My go-to moisturizer of choice for years was Neutrogena Anti-Itch lotion, and when I heard they were discontinuing it, I loaded up on it. When my supply ran out, I had to find something to replace it, and I finally settled on a combination of the Cetaphil Restoraderm and Eucerin External Analgesic Lotion, Calming Itch-Relief Treatment, 6.8-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3) . The Eucerin is good for instant itch relief, and the Cetaphil is better for long-term moisturizing. The thing I love about this lotion is that it's silky and disappears into the skin almost instantly. I LOVE that. So many lotions that treat ultra-dry skin can either be super greasy or leave a weird film on the skin. The Cetaphil is lightweight, but you can instantly feel it absorb into the skin and make a difference in the texture of the skin without making your skin look or feel as if it has been basted in oil or petroleum. It's just a nice lotion to use. It doesn't seem to have an analgesic effect (won't ease itch on contact) so that's why I use it in conjunction with the Eucerin. But it has lasting effects and definitely changes the texture and health of my skin. I totally recommend it. I use it for everything from dry hands to cracked heels to bug bites. My daughter, who has eczema, also likes it- she hated the feeling of hand lotion, but with the Cetaphil, it's almost like it's *not* lotion. But it still works.

First of all - let me tell you that I have had eczema (atopic dermatits) my entire life, as long as I can remember. I'm 27 years old. For my entire life I Have used the cetaphil cream that comes in the tub. Killer deal for 20oz tubs at costco. Its good mositurizer, but doesnt do anything to heal. This year, while having a perticularily HORRIBLE flare up (something in the air or something this year, I swear I havent had this bad of skin in 10+ years) I've been trying new moisturizers to try to give some relief after making the choice to get off topical steriods (ugh). I went all natural, tried Shea butter, coconut oil, cold pressed olive oil, infused with lavender essential oils... tried shea moisture chamomile & argan oil eczema therapy, hemp salve.... etc etc, nothing helped, and if anything made my skin worse. My trouble areas are my face, neck, wrists, forearms and inner elbows. I somehow just discovered this Restoraderm lotion (how did I not know of it sooner?!) and tried it. Duh. I've used Cetaphil products as long as I can remember, so I trust it and its worth a shot. Within 3 days I noticed an improvement. As of today i've gone through an entire bottle and am on bottle #2 and I would say I am 75% clearer. Obv its not a total healing... there is a reason why we eczema people have eczema, and its an internal battle of mine trying to find the root cause. But hey - 75% clearer, i will take that any day. YES like everyone else states it BURNS applying if you have open skin and for me it got worse the first day or 2 before It started getting better. For Kids i can understand not being able to use it. But if you can get it on them kiddos and immediately blow on their hot spots to cool the burning... it passes after just a few minutes. Like 2 or 3 mins and it doesnt burn anymore. If they are full body I can see not being able to use it. If your an adult, you just gotta get over the burn, its temporary... you can do it. Those are my opinions, overall i am very satisfied with this product and am setting myself up for re-order. It might be a little more spendy but totally worth it. If i could figure out how to upload a picture, I would post a before/after shot.

The best lotion I have tried on my babies. Smooth, emollient, calming, hydrating. My baby's acne and eczema was so much improved when I switch to this lotion after using other Cetaphil and Mustela baby lotions. It worked by calming the inflamed/irritated areas. Then it gradually but dramatically soften the hard scaly parts on face and body. It didn't take long before everything was soft and smooth as a baby should be. I used it through the summer and through the winter. My baby's skin was always hydrated and supple. I have recommended this to my other mommy friends. It's great whether your baby has eczema or not. It's just wonderful on delicate sensitive baby skin all around. And it is unscented, truly unscented. There is no unpleasant smell from the ingredients.

Wonderful. I have eczema on my left hand (the hand that I write with) So it's hard to take care of it when you use it to draw and handle HR work. It gets so dry during winter, that I wouldn't be able to fully bend my fingers back without risking the skin splitting itself open in painful cuts, and I can easily get cuts from any slight thing I'd do. My Doctor recommended several creams/ointments for it but it never helped, and some even made it worse. However, A friend recommended this lotion to me. Without further ado, I purchased it and have been very happy with it since then. The second I rub it against my left hand it instantly soothes the dryness, it no longer hurts, and it doesn't peel off as much as before. The one thing I can say negative about it is that you can't put too much of it or you hands can get sticky and greasy. The best portion to use is approximately dime size. Other than that, it works perfectly fine for me. I would highly recommend this product to others struggling with dry skin or eczema.

I am soooo bummed about this product. My young daughters have nut allergies and I was excited to get the referral to buy this from their allergist, AND I was happy to read that this lotion was "Free of fragrances, parabens and nut oils." However, when I put the lotion on my youngest she broke out in a rash all over her chest, face and every where else I put it. I don't understand how this product can claim that it is free of "nut oils" when shea butter is made from the Shea nut and is considered a tree nut by the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) organization! I will be calling Cetaphil and the allergy network to complain, this not ok.

I was hesitant to try this on my skin because I was originally using Live Clean's products until my dermatologist told me to begin using something unscented and with less likelihood to cause my skin condition to flare up. I have an autoimmune disorder, lichen planus, in addition to general sensitivities, and eczema. Yes. I have been going for phototherapy to help ease the significant patches of lichen planus that I have. The phototherapy however, dries my skin out completely. So, I needed something that would help me in the middle of a skin flare up (ie: not many chemicals as with other products), AND something that would still moisturize my skin well because of the UV exposure from the phototherapy. I tried other Cetaphil products and so far, the only one that helps with all of these, AND serves my other skin issues well is this product. I use this in combination with Lyderm, for the patches that are genuinely intolerable. This product probably won't be for everyone. It's also taken me 2 weeks of use to feel a difference. It won't work overnight if you have really sensitive skin. If you have super dry skin, that may be another story altogether. It is a tad greasy when you first put it on, but it's designed to be really moisturizing. If I put this on before bed it's not as bad because I'm sleeping most of the night. I use the lighter products from the Cetaphil line during the day because of this, though. I will say however, that when I bring Cetaphil to phototherapy treatments, the burns are not nearly as bad and the dry, itchy skin that usually follows treatments are lessened. I looked at CeraVe products and chose this one because of the price and the fact that Cetaphil was easier to find in Shopper's Drug Mart, and Walmart. Cetaphil, based on my research, seemed like the budget-friendly answer to CeraVe which has certainly rung true for me. Shipping, logistics, and availability during the pandemic also made me fond of this product because I read a lot of reviews that CeraVe was a popular "panic buy" item. When you need reliable access to a product because of health, rather than expensive tastes, that was a major concern for me. Hence, Cetaphil being my choice. I changed my skincare routine to include this product, and I use the daily facial moisturizer, the bars of soap, the ultra gentle cleanser for my face, and the scrub once a week to slough off the dead dry skin from my treatments. During the day I use the daily moisturizer or the tub of lotion, depending on what I'm doing, whether I will be outside at any point, and whether I'm wearing really breathable clothing. For those looking for something specific to use alongside this in the case of lichen planus, I would also recommend Free and Clear Shampoo and Conditioner! I probably sound like a walking advert, which I somewhat dislike. However, I used to use Live Clean and Lush products almost exclusively, until these issues flared up and I needed something formulated for them. I was so frustrated trying to find something that worked. I had no idea what on earth to do when my lichen planus and eczema got so bad that it covered 1/2 of my body. Nothing worked but this has definitely started to help. It hasn't fixed it because skin conditions are just that: ongoing conditions. However, this product has made them manageable. When you consider that the side effects of my conditions included itchy, dry skin that would be inflamed, painful, cracked, and after phototherapy occasionally turn into blood blisters, manageable is actually a big deal. Hopefully this saves someone some time and money!

This is the only product that has worked for my eczema and my 3month old baby's severe eczema. This doesnt say for baby but I tried this after using childs farm "baby" moisturiser. Childsfarm has made his eczema even worse (see photo #1) the 2nd and 3rd photos are day3 of using this Cetaphil. His eczema was weeping. I apply this to his skin as soon as I notice that his skin has gone dry again and especially if his skin began peeling. Just persevere! I find that its normal that the site gets red on application. But oh boy i noticed its efficacy since day1 especially on day2. Just apply it as many times as you want. Expensive but Highly recommended!

Arrivato alla data specificata, è un'ottima lozione idratante e di purezza.

I love it. It good on my son's skin. Overall good for sensitive skin.

Worked great for eczema!!! Took away the itch and moisturized well.
