Gold Bond Eczema Relief Skin Protectant Cream
What it is: A hand and body cream for those who struggle with eczema.
The formula features two per cent colloidal oatmeal, and is clinically proven to reduce or relieve five signs of the skin irritation, including itchiness, dryness, the appearance of a rash, roughness and irritation.
Safe for sensitive skin, this Gold Bond formula is also dermatologist tested, steroid free, fragrance free and hypoallergenic.
What we say: Eczema. It may not be the sexiest subject to talk about, but it’s a skin concern that many Canadians face, especially during the long winter season.
Our tester routinely struggles with eczema on her hands, and this lotion has helped to turn the tide on her most troublesome areas.
Rather than use the thick formula during the daytime, she decided to use it as a soothing night treatment to give the rough stuff a serious dose of soothing hydration.
While the formula feels a bit heavy and greasy, our tester was so pleased with the result — “relief without the use of medication,” she says — that she was willing to look past the slippery surface. And the best part?
She reports this lotion gives “quick relief,” so no waiting around for the formula to work its skin-saving magic.
