My boy's face is all red and chapped. I tried Mustella face cream and vaselin and still he's very dry. Any recommendation? Thanks!
 
we used aqueous cream, buy any brand, available in most pharmacies and Watsons and Mannings. My baby had very slight infantile eczema and this really helped.
 
a friend also recommended Aqueous. Will look for it first thing in the morning. Thanks!
 
we've switched to aqueous cream after our last seba med ran out... i must say the aqueous cream is probably better and about 1/10 the cost!
 
We've been using Cetaphil cream since it was recommended by my son's pediatrician. Works pretty well on dry skin.
 
I used aqueous on my LO's whole body including the face until her skin looks very dry since October (she scratched her body). I then swithed to L'occitane (mosturizer), and change her bathing gel to Mustela(the one with cold cream), it seems to work very good.
 
Hi happymom2006,

Did your pediatrician recommend you to use Sorbolene Cream for your baby's face?? Mine asked me to use it on my baby's bottom since he's been having diarrhea and his poor bum was sore and hurt! But after using it, the condition improved immediately! So I'm a little confused...
 
i always get a kick out of baby products that say, "for face and bottom"... we got some cream yesterday that said the same thing... i gues the skin in these areas are more sensitive than the rest of the body..
 
Aqueous and Sorbolene have pretty much the same ingredients.
Dr Ken Chan just put me on to Emulsifying Ointment, for my sons excema, which is the the basic ingredient for both sorbolene and aqueous cream.

I find that Sorbolene is a bit less waxy and is absorbed better, so I'm using a combination of both.
 
ELT, your son probably developed pimple-like spots cos the layer of EO you put on him was too thick and cuased his pores to be blocked. The pharmacist of the manufacturer said this to me cos my daughter got the same problem and I am wondering if anyone can be allergic to EO!! Apparently a very common problem and you get it if you put too thick a layer of any thick cream including vaseline (cos unlike sorbelene or aqeous creams vaseline and EO have no water in it just pure paraffin).
