Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream Review

I bought Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream when I had the worst eczema flare-up to date. I had eczema by birth but it was treated back then with a warning that there are chances of eczema to return in late 20s which apparently happened in my case as well.

One fine day, I noticed my skin feeling a burning sensation followed by redness which ultimately became the worst flare-up ever. There was peeling of the skin, painful rashes, severe dryness, and itchiness, and my skin was literally in pain.

I had just started using Retinol and a hair care serum too and I don’t know if they triggered my eczema or what but since then I have been getting flare-ups and my skin faces extreme dryness. The dryness I faced when I had my first flare-up legit felt like a rock. Multiple tubes of moisturizers, coconut oil, Vaseline, boroline, and God knows what I did to relieve that stiff dryness but nothing really worked and I had to consult a doctor and go on prescribed steroids. Only then, did my eczema settle down.

I am grateful for that doctor to saved my life and cured that painful eczema overnight but you can not stay on steroids forever or jump to steroids every time you have a flare-up. I had to find a solution. While looking for eczema relief products on Amazon, I got to know about Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream which had so many positive reviews and I immediately decided to go for it.

In this article, I will be talking about my experience with Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream and how it performed on the flare-ups. If you have been looking for an in-depth review, you are on the right page.

Review – Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream

My skin type: Dry, Eczema-prone skin. Sensitive and acne-prone skin. Used to be oily before Eczema.

Packaging: It comes in an opaque squeezable tube with a flip-flop cap. The product doesn’t have a detailed list of ingredients. It does have an expiry date mentioned and is safe to travel with.

Fragrance: None as such.

My Experience

I took a decent amount and applied it all over my face just like I apply my moisturizer. I didn’t completely rub it in and softly massaged it to leave a thin layer over my face to soothe the active redness.

The texture felt soft and easy to massage. The consistency didn’t exactly feel super thick but it isn’t a lightweight moisturizer either. I could definitely feel this moisturizer being a heavy duty one.

The moment I applied it, I definitely noticed a calming cooling sensation. My active redness felt soothed and there was a definite relief for a moment. But that cooling sensation and calming-ness didn’t really last long and I was back to feeling the burn on my rashes.

Talking about the nourishment, I really had high hopes but unfortunately, it didn’t do much in terms of moisturization. I had to re-apply my Cetaphil moisturizer again. Every time I had Eucerin Eczema Relief cream on, I had to apply it again and again in a short span of 20 minutes. Even with multiple applications for several days, I didn’t feel any relief from dryness despite being a rich moisturizer.

Generally, a rich moisturizer would do a great job in treating dryness. But if there is a product dedicated for Eczema, then it should be able to treat the intense dryness and flaky-ness that comes with Eczema flare-ups.

I had to discontinue it as I wasn’t getting much of the result from it. Neither in terms of soothing the flare-up nor in terms of nourishment. I mean, I am not talking about general dryness, I am talking about Eczema dryness which is onto the next level.

I wish the instant cooling sensation and soothing feeling lasted much longer so that I could use this moisturizer to soothe up active burning rashes. Most of the reviews loved using this Eucerin eczema relief cream but in my case, I didn’t get many results.

When I use Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream on normal days when I do not have an active flare-up, only the dryness as after effect, it does a decent job on moisturization. But not so much with flare-up dryness.

This was it for today. I hope you have found my experience with the product helpful. Let me know your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

Have a Good Day.
