Lotion recommendations?

[codex57]

We've tried some of the Johnson & Johnson stuff. The perfume in all the ones we've tried are just overwhelming.

What recommendations do you guys have? Higher end stuff is ok too since DS primarily has dry skin on his face so we don't need huge gobs of the stuff.

We use California Baby. I've head Eucerin is really good too.

You can get both at Target.

I love the Arbonne baby line. My kids have very senstive skin, and this stuff has been great for us. Plus , it has no scent. We use the body wash too, which I think helps. We got the products as a baby gift for DS#2, and I wish that I would've known about it for DS#1. Maybe could've avoided the eczema and cradle cap. HTH

Burt's bee's, aveeno and our very favorite... aquaphor, great for butts and faces, lol!

my all-time favorite for me and DD is Banana Boat Aloe Aftersun Lotion. It is thick, but not greasy at all, has virtually no scent and doesn't irritate (I have very sensitive skin that becomes very dry if I don't lotion up every day). It used to be very inexpensive -- like $3 for a 16oz bottle, but now I only ever see it for $6 or $7. It might be seasonal depending on where you live, but I swear it is the best lotion I've ever used.

Curel or Eucerin, all have fragance free versions. Best lotions around. All my girls have very dry sensitive skin.

Mom & Baby Balm

It is thick--and works really well. I usualy use this when eucerin doesn't seem to help. It is frag free, and a little goes a long way. You can go to the store and request a sample to try it first. It is pricey at $40 for the large size; it goes on sale periodically or you can get it during f%f for 25% off.

We tried the Johnson & Johnson (DH's bright idea) and I had a sneezing fit that wouldn't stop. I am highly sensitive to perfumes and other things due to massive allergies, and it's a good bet DS will be too - he already sneezes quite a bit, and his skin seems to be very sensitive.

We are now sticking with the baby lines from Aveeno and Mustela, and would also consider L'Occitane (their shea butter line is great) and Dr. Hauschka (which I use myself.) All pretty pricey (except the Aveno) but very effective for dry skin, allergy-safe, and they don't provoke my eckzema.

L'Occitane stores are great at giving out free samples if you go in and talk to the clerk. Personally, I consider it well worth the money, they've never caused a breakout for me, unlike some supposed "hypoallergenic" brands, and even though they use perfumes, they don't trigger my allergies. They also sell online.

we use the Aveeno baby soothing relief moisture cream and it ROCKS! I use it too!

Our ped recommended the generic version of Vaseline Advanced Healing. Abby has very dry skin and is prone to exczema, and it's always worked great. FWIW, we had used Eucerin for a while, and it didn't work as well.
