Eczema is a common skin concern that affects roughly 31 million people in the U.S. alone — that’s about 10% of the population, according to the National Eczema Association. The condition can be anywhere from mild to severe, but it can be cumbersome trying to navigate ways to soothe the dry, itchy skin it causes. With the right ingredients and formulas, you may be able to get some relief.
We spoke to dermatologists to learn all about eczema, what causes it and — most importantly — what you should look for in an eczema lotion. We also rounded up expert-recommended and highly rated eczema lotions that may help you find some relief.

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
$undefined
To pick the best eczema lotions, we took into account whether the lotion has eczema-friendly ingredients, if it’s formulated without ingredients known to trigger the condition, how lightweight it feels on the skin and value.
•Ingredients: When dealing with eczema, it’s important to find restorative ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal and hyaluronic acid that help heal, soothe, calm and hydrate the skin. It’s also important to know which ingredients to stay away from in order to prevent your eczema from worsening, so if possible, stay away from lotions with fragrances that may irritate your skin.
•Texture: When deciding which eczema moisturizer is best for you, you’ll want to consider lotions, creams and balms. Some will feel more lightweight, while others will have a thicker consistency. (More on this below.)
•Price: We included products with a range of price points.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion $15.59 $15.99 $14.99 This lotion from CeraVe is a favorite among dermatologists we spoke to because it has ceramides, which play a key role in protecting the skin barrier. “This lotion has a unique blend of high-quality moisturizing agents, including ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin,” says Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, a dermatologist at Khrom Dermatology.
Eucerin Eczema Relief Flare-up Treatment
Eucerin Eczema Relief Flare-up Treatment $11.97 $12.74 $16.59 Ceramides, colloidal oatmeal and licorice extract in this Eucerin cream work to soothe irritated skin, says Kazlouskaya. The cream also provides a cooling sensation when you apply it to your skin, which can help calm ongoing flare-ups, according to the brand. Suitable for all eczema-prone skin types, this option is also safe for children starting from three months of age, according to Eucerin.
Aveeno Eczema Therapy Daily Moisturizing Cream with Oatmeal
Aveeno Eczema Therapy Daily Moisturizing Cream with Oatmeal $19.97 $26.58 $25.99 This cream comes recommended by Kazlouskay because it’s made with colloidal oatmeal and ceramides, which is great for warding off eczema. Avena sativa, or oat kernel extract, is an occlusive ingredient (meaning it helps the skin hold onto moisture) that suppresses histamine release, plumps up the skin and restores the skin’s natural barrier, according to Dr. Elaine Kung, a board-certified dermatologist in New York. The cream also relieves dryness, itchiness and redness, according to the brand.
Though eczema can be finicky to treat, lotions can help make the condition more manageable, dermatologists told us. There are two main formula types to be on the lookout for: ones that reduce and soothe the symptoms of eczema (like inflammation, dryness and itchiness) and ones that work to repair and maintain your skin barrier.
