Theraplex Barrier Balm Moisturizer, 6 Oz, National Eczema Seal Of Acceptance Rating 5 Out Of 5

I purchased this as a replacement for Vanicream ointment which has been discontinued. The biggest difference is that it feels more difficult to spread and less emollient. It's nice over damp, moisturized skin as a protectant, however. Hasn't caused any irritation on my dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin.

Love this new product for me. Put it on after my night cremes, works well!

Now that I've been living in a colder dryer area of the country (although nothing like the the western states of this country, I find that my skin gets very dry. I wash my hands many times a day, and I'm always moisturizing them. I do use other good moisturizers, but I'm very picky about what I buy. For example, I tried the Blue Emu moisturizer, but I didn't like having blue skin. I like the fact that this particular styles has a moisture barrier. It helps a bit when I'm in the kitchen. My dog need a lot of love, so I have to stop and pet her when I'm cooking. My family is very fastidious about having dog hair in their food. (I can't imagine any of us eating something that we knew had dog hair in it.) It's not really the hair that's the problem, it's what's on the hair. So my hands are nice and soft almost all of the time. And that includes the summer, when I get very dirty working in the garden. It's nice to have when I feel as if I just scrubbed all the skin off of my hands.

Great for kids

Works great for my daughters eczema!
