If you have eczema, a common skin condition, chances are you experience uncomfortable symptoms such as dryness and irritation on your face, hands or body. Because ingredients such as fragrances or dyes can cause eczema flare-ups for some people, finding just the right cleanser and moisturizer to help ease your symptoms without causing further irritation can be tricky.

Always an innovator when it comes to soothing skin solutions, La Roche-Posay created its Lipikar line specifically for eczema and extra dry skin. In honor of Eczema Awareness Month in October, you can read about our trusted recommendations for:

• The best eczema lotion for hands

The best eczema body wash

Are you on the hunt for a good cleanser that won’t irritate your skin? La Roche-Posay’s Lipikar line includes two gentle cleansers that you can use on your face and body to help keep eczema symptoms at bay.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleanser Oil is an eczema wash you can use head to toe on the whole family. When combined with water, the oil-based formula lathers into a foam and provides calming relief to sensitive skin with moisturizing shea butter and glycerin as well as niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that has skin-soothing properties.

If you prefer a cream-based cleanser for eczema-prone skin, consider La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Moisturizing Body & Face Wash. This formula provides 24-hour hydration starting in the shower, thanks to mineral-rich La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, shea butter and glycerin.

The best face cream and body lotion for eczema

If you’re looking for the best face cream for eczema or an eczema lotion to use on the body, La Roche-Posay has several formulas accepted by the National Eczema Association.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body & Face Moisturizer has a creamy lotion-like texture and features ceramides (lipids naturally found in the skin) to support your moisture barrier. It offers daily relief for very dry skin and eczema symptoms thanks to hydrating glycerin, shea butter and mineral-rich La Roche-Posay Thermal Water.

If your eczema symptoms include itchy skin, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Eczema Soothing Relief Cream can help. This comforting face cream for eczema—which can be used on the body as well—contains 1% colloidal oatmeal to help relieve itching and skin irritation. Shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide round out this soothing formula.

The best eczema lotion for children and babies

“Before starting my dermatology practice, I worked as a pediatrician, and I often saw infants and young children in my office with eczema symptoms,” says LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger, board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. “Their caregivers were always wondering what lotions or creams they could safely use to help with their dry, irritated skin.”

Two of La Roche-Posay’s eczema lotions can be used on the youngest members of your family. La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body & Face Moisturizer can be used on babies as young as three weeks old. For children ages three and up, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Eczema Soothing Relief Cream can be used on the body, face and hands.

The best eczema lotion for hands

“Eczema on your hands can be itchy and painful, especially during times of dry, cold weather or frequent handwashing, which can increase dryness,” says LovelySkin Medical Director Dr. Daniel Schlessinger, a board-certified dermatologist as well as Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hand Barrier Repairing Cream is an allergy-tested, fragrance-free hand cream that helps soothe irritated skin, replenish lost moisture and restore your skin barrier with shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide. The texture is non-greasy and fast-absorbing, and the addition of dimethicone acts as a skin protectant to help reduce moisture loss.
