Aveeno Soothing Relief Creamy Wash 8 oz For Baby — 

Aveeno Soothing Relief Creamy Wash For Baby a great product for children with very dry skin or eczema.  The Aveeno brand is known for using colloidal oatmeal in its products to retain moisture.  Oatmeal is sometimes recommended as a home remedy for chicken pox or other "itchy" conditions, like dry skin.  Aveeno's Soothing Relief Creamy Wash works well on my baby and my 5-year-old.  As much as the two of them move around during bath time, the tear-free formula works wonders. 

The bottle advertises the skin would be moisturized for 24 hours, but I recommend using lotion or baby oil after the bath.  Something most body washes and soaps don't advertise is that hard water (water with heavy traces of minerals) reduce the moisturizing effectiveness of the product.  Furthermore, hard water causes the soap to form a film on your skin.  For really dry skin, you may consider first investing in a water softener.

Thank you. I never knew how much I'd love soft water until we got out water softener. Now, I wish I could bring it with me when I travel.

Thank you. Yes, hard water is no fun at all. Whenever I travel now, for vacation or work, i miss my water softener...lol.

Good review and excellent point you made about the effects of hard water.

works great for a long time -- i still use it since it keeps slipper mermaids from sliding too much.
