Cetaphil : A Life Saver for Eczema babies

10:03:00 PM

You have no idea on how hard it is living with baby diagnosed with eczema *cried out loud* The lack of sleep, the scratching, the itchiness, the frequent visits to the clinic, the sleepless nights. Tell me everything about it. Memang susah. In my case, I'm very much lucky because my baby stays with my parents. So they had to endure all that most of the time. As for me, I'm only able to see #babyjedi on weekends.

But my parents pretty much teach me on how to help soothe #babyjedi on his eczema. The do's and don'ts.

As all of us do not have experience in taking care baby with eczema, our ways are basically try and error. Me and my dad read a lot on eczema forums, doctors, parents who has experienced this. It was tough. The first few months was all about not sleeping most of the night. Eczema comes at any given time. Regardless day or night. Sometimes I would wake up to find spots of blood on the bed because #babyjedi was scratching the night before. Kesian kan.

Cetaphil was our saviour. We read on one of the forum, a mum actually recommended this range of Cetaphil on babies who has eczema. It's quite pricey but it can last you for about a month, depending on how you use it.

We normally use it after each bath. Making sure that his skin is not dry and reapply only when necessary. It works wonder. It's an all-in one lotion and it glides so easy. Although it leaves sticky feel on the skin but that is the thing that keeps #babyjedi's skin moisturize because he's always in an air conditioned room. Dry skin will only make it worst. We also apply it on his face. Not only babies, adult can use this as their daily skin care routine.

Cetaphil Restoraderm body wash is my favorite by far. A gentle, soap-free, mildly foaming body wash; clinically proven to cleanse, moisturize and soothe dry and itchy skin. When bathing, gently massage into a lather and avoid scrubbing the skin. Rinse off and gently pat skin dry.

I also use the Cetaphil baby shampoo as recommended by #babyjedi doctor since he has sensitive scalp due to eczema and Alhamdulillah, it works and there were no redness or itchiness. This shampoo help to soothes the scalp. Contains soothing camomile that gently cleanses sensitive scalp without drying. It smells good too :-)

  • Leaves hair soft with a silky shine



After bathing using Cetaphil Restoraderm body wash. I will normally apply Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion for face and body. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is specifically formulated to soothe your chronically dry skin. Once applied, your skin feels soft and smooth. It is non-greasy, non–irritating and non–comedogenic (won't clog pores).
