Eczema Moisturisers & Flare Control Creams
Managing eczema well starts with daily skin care, and the right moisturiser plays a key role in keeping the skin barrier strong and hydrated. A good daily moisturiser helps protect and nourish the skin, keeping it comfortable and less prone to irritation. When flares do happen, flare-control creams can bring relief and help calm the skin so it can recover. With the right care routine, many people find they can reduce discomfort and feel more confident in managing their symptoms day to day.
Managing your eczema
Caring for eczema often involves a combination of moisturisers and flare-control treatments, each playing a different but important role in keeping skin healthy and comfortable:
- Flare control creams (to get control): . These creams and ointments contain medicines to make the skin less sore and itchy. This helps the skin heal.
- Moisturisers/Emollients (keep control): Daily medical moisturisers that soothe and protect the skin barrier to help prevent flare-ups.
- Natural products (often not for eczema): Many natural produces have ingredients that can make eczema worse, like essential oils. Some contain food based ingredients that may trigger allergy development.
