Both Dr. Seghers and Dr. Belmo recommend Cerave. Dr. Seghers explained that for people with eczema, the Cerave Moisturising Cream (£16) is a more moisturising option than the lotion for people with eczema. However, she explained that both can work well depending on your routine. She suggested using the lotion in the morning before putting clothes on as it absorbs quickly, and then opting for the cream at night due to its thicker formula.
Dr. Belmo also likes that this product contains humectants, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, which help to pull moisture into the skin, as well as ceramides, which helps to keep moisture locked in, therefore restoring the skin barrier.
