How we score →Yay
7 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Colloidal oatmeal and ceramides are the details these gurus keep returning to, and they call the cream soothing for dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin. The one thing to keep in mind is the texture, which is thick, rich, and a touch richer than Aveeno. For skin that looks angry and red, the licorice root can help calm inflammation, and it is well tolerated for daily use, including on kids.
