Frequently asked questions
Is Aveeno Moisturising Cream a steroid?
No. It is a fragrance-free emollient moisturiser with colloidal oatmeal, not a steroid or a medicine. It moisturises and helps relieve dryness, so it can be used as often as needed.
How long does it moisturise for?
Aveeno Moisturising Cream is designed to help moisturise eczema-prone skin for up to 24 hours. Regular use helps prevent the dryness and irritation that dehydration can cause.
Can I use it on my face?
It can be used on any part of the body. Avoid the eye area, and if you have very sensitive facial skin, do a patch test first or ask your pharmacist for advice.
Does it cure eczema?
No. An emollient does not cure eczema; it moisturises the skin, helps relieve dryness and supports the skin barrier as part of a daily routine. If your eczema is flaring or not controlled, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
Is it suitable if I am allergic to oats?
No. This cream contains colloidal oatmeal, so do not use it if you are allergic to oats. Ask your pharmacist for an oat-free moisturiser instead.
Safety and storage
- For external use only. Do not use if you are allergic to oats or any ingredient on the label.
- Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
- If your skin reacts, stop using the cream and speak to your pharmacist.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
- Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of the sight and reach of children.
