My son has frequent eczema outbreaks and I have to constantly moisturize his skin to keep it from getting worse. A friend of mine told me to try Aquaphor by Eucerin.

I picked up a tub of it for about $15 and opened it, expecting it to be similar to the Eucerin cream that also comes in a tub. I found a tub full of what looked like Vaseline. It was greasy and didn't help my son's skin any more than if I had put Vaseline on him, which we frequently do. Vaseline is only a fraction of the price.

The only difference I could see from regular Vasaline was a few added inactive ingredients, such as, mineral oil and lanolin alcohol. I should have read the back of the tub before buying it to realize the only active ingredient in it was petroleum.

The main reason I am not a fan of Aquaphor is because of the price. If it had produced better results I may be more apt to refer this to a friend, but it seems to be the EXACT same as Vaseline.
