Fortunately for me we don’t have any family members that suffer from eczema but I certainly sympathize with those that do. It is basically is an allergic condition that affects the skin and can cause redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. I can only imagine how awful it would be to have this or to have children plagued by it. 
I imagine that those parents try a range of different products to give their little ones relief and I also imagine that most of them do not have very safe or natural ingredients. Chemical ingredients could just further irritate the skin too. That is why I think parents might want to give exederm a try.
Exederm is made by a company that believes people with sensitive skin need products with less irritants… harsh chemicals, unnecessary additives and unproven herbal ingredients. Their product ingredient list has many highlights:
No Fragrance
No Color or Dyes
No Parabens
No Lanolin
No Sodium Laureth Sulfate
No Propylene Glycol
No Formaldehyde
No Phthalates
Wohoo! Their system revolves around 3 different products… the exederm flare control cream, intensive moisture cream, and the cleansing wash for sensitive skin. If you click on the link above you will see how their product ingredients compare to all the other leading eczema products.
So ready to give exederm a try? Also here is a coupon code for $5.00 off at exederm.com “Naturemoms1″.
Enjoy!

My infant daughter was just diagnosed with eczema – it’s terrible! We’ve been able to control it with Aquaphor but it would be great to try Exederm!
Your post is also on my blog.
My 3 year old has suffered from eczema since she was an infant, and boy, it can get rough! We live in Boston, so the extreme cold weather is a big obstacle. We’ve even used a strong steroid when necessary, but I hate doing that. Our family is in a transition stage, trying to move away from parabens and phthalates and standard drugstore products to more natural products and more organic foods, but the cost is difficult. We would love to try something natural, nontoxic, and effective! Thanks.
I’d love to try this as both my kids have eczema and we try to use as many natural products as possible. I’d love something that works and avoids harmful chemicals.
Ah Eczema… such a lovely friend to have! Yes, both my daughter and myself suffer from this, and my hubby to some extent. My daughter currently has the rash on her neck, and while the Dr. prescribed the hydroccortizone ointment for her, it thins the skin down so much that we have to limit its use. We had to go to the 15% ointment because something in the cream was burning her skin. Not cool.
Even if I don’t win though, I’m thankful for the resource! I’m always looking for natural ways to help – we have done oatmeal baths, keeping natural lotions slathered on her, using all natural goat milk soap, cutting dairy, etc, and sometimes it helps stop the flare-ups… but not all of the time.
Thanks again for a great resource!
I can’t wait to try this for my husband! We’re hoping our little one doesn’t get this too!
I have battled with eczema my entire life. I get it on my hands, arms neck and face. Over the years, I’ve taken steroids, tried weird diets, and several other eczema “cures”. Now i’m just used to having “bad skin days”. My senior pictures and my wedding were a bad skin days, and I hate looking at the pictures with badly covered up red blotches on my cheeks and huge nasty patches on my arms- thankfully I’m hiding my hands (like always) in them. Now my two year old son is starting to break out continuosly. I would love to find a product that works for him before he has to deal with the nasty comments from peers about his eczema that I know all to well.
I would love to win. I have eczema since a child and now struggle still as an adult and mother now. I itch and my skin is so dry. I have tried every product under the sun. I am tired of looking like a burn victim on my hands and wrists and arms. I would love to try this product since I have never tried this one, atleast not yet. Thanks,
Would love to give it a try! My six yr old has frequent outbreaks- even on her eyelids and now my 2yr old has developed it on his bootie!
i have rosacea so these would be great!
I would love to try this product! I had it so bad all over my hands that I had to wrap my fingers in gauze numerous times throughout the day. People were always asking me what happened to your hands??!! Just last week I finally gave in to the steroid creams which seems to be helping, but I hate having to put these chemicals onto/into my body. Another alternative would be great!
Thanks so much for sharing Exederm with us! My son have suffered for so long with eczema outbreaks that we can’t remember what it’s like to be without them. We would love to win, but will be trying Exederm regardless!
I also blogged about the contest (http://seriouslyspoiled.com/2008/11/natural-eczema-relief/).
My son suffers terribly from eczema and it seems like I’ve tried everything under the sun. Except this . . . maybe this would help. Willing to try most anything.
My brother suffers from terrible eczema on his hands and I would love to have him try this! He works in a restaurant and uses his hands daily to pick up hot plates, etc. I really want to see if this works. And I love hearing about natural remedies.
What a great find. MY DD gets eczema really bad on her cheeks and chin. She itches until she has little red marks all over her face. It is heartbreaking. Her case is related to food allergies, but we are constantly trying different things for when she has flare-ups. Thanks for the info!
i have eczema and this sounds great! i will have to check it out. also, for those mama’s who’s sweet baby has eczema, put breastmilk on it! it was the best thing that i could do for my eczema. my DD thankfully has not shown signs of it. but seriously — i have tried a bunch of different creams and remedies — prescription and natural — and nothing has worked as well as breastmilk. of course, breastmilk is only available until the baby weans, so it will be great to have an safe alternative like this.
My oldest son has eczema, I would love to try something natural! Hydrocortisone grosses me out…
I do not suffer from eczema, but my brother has for the last 17 years. His disease is not the common variety, but a chronic type that never really goes away or responds to treatment. During the harder months of the year, he has to wear rubber gloves on his hands to prevent the lesions from bursting and bleeding. He wears them whether at home or at work, and being in sales, I can’t imagine how humiliating it is for him.
He is now the father of two sons. His first son was diagnosed with a learning disability similar to autism. When his second son was born, they found that he too was born with the same condition. He and his wife have struggled to provide special attention to both of their children, driving 80 miles one way 3 days a week to a clinic for children with learning disabilities.
Unfortunately, they also found recently that the youngest child is inflicted with the same skin disease that my brother has. They have to use special cleansing agents in everything from laundry, bath soap, and even dish detergent. Even the residue from detergent on a dish is enough to cause a breakout on the youngest child.
I would like to think that this product would help my brother and his son, and maybe give them one less problem to worry about.
Thanks for reading,
John
I need to try this. I’ve suffered horribly since I was a child. Thanks for the info.
my husband suffers from terrible eczema on both his hands and his feet. He is a musician so the cracking/bleeding hands are excruciating for him this time of year. People have always suggested different products but nothing ever seems to work. We would LOVE to try this product!!
OH i could really use this! Both DS and I have been struggling with eczema for a couple years now.
I posted about it here:

This is how i found out about this contest http://mamaknj.blogspot.com/2008/11/natural-eczema-healing.html
I have exzema all over my hands beleive it or not. And when I had my son it got worse. )-:
I’d like to win this for my new grandson, who was born in August. He’s developed Exzema on his head. With winter coming to New England soon, my daughter thinks it will only get worse. My husband’s brother had a bad case of Exzema as a baby, so it might run in our family. My daughter is very eco-concious and we have all started to primaril use and try more natural products.
I’m prego and have eczema that flares up with the cold dry winter weather. Alas, my prescription ointment is off limits while I’m pregnant, so I’m relying on anything I can find that helps. It would be delightful to give this a try. Thanks for the opportunity!
My daughter has had a really bad outbreak of eczema this fall and we have been through the gamut of creams, salves, and home-made remedies, to no avail. This product sounds wonderful and we would love to have some on hand to treat her eczema which is all over her precious little face, of all places! We are also seeing our homeopath to treat her, but it seems to be a slow process involving an elimination diet and a constitutional remedy. This product would be especially helpful as winter has not set in here in the northeast and the air is dry and cold, making it that much worse.
Thanks Tiffany, for another great review of a natural product!
My twins dtr gets eczema. I’d love to try this product.
My young son has eczema. When he was a baby he’d chew his hands until they were raw and I didn’t realize what was wrong. He usually gets it on his knees and elbows, but for some reason he had a huge flare-up all over his body. I’m trying to find natural creams that work because I hate to use steroids.
It would be such a blessing to win this package. For the past few months, I have been diligently looking for a natural remedy for eczema. I’m currently 7 1/2 months pregnant and experienced a bad breakout of eczema this summer that still has not healed, has left me with some bad scarring and seems only to be getting worse in these winter months. Also this would be great for my sixteen month old daughter who gets a patch on her neck.
every winter my son struggles with eczema and we are now in northdakota! he could really use this!
I am dealing with eczema on myself right now. Behind my knees and in my elbows. Ow! I would love to get some relief!
What a wonderful gift this would be for my mother-in-law who suffers terribly with eczema. Even though our relationship is rocky at best, I don’t wish her ill and suffering and maybe this would earn me some brownie points!
My son developed eczema at 18 months when we moved to a new house. For the first year, we tried the allergy rx and elidel cream. Nothing worked, and the dr. told me I shouldn’t put the elidel on my son when I was pregnant with our 2nd child. I thought, why should I put it on my child if I can’t touch it when I’m pregnant?
So we had a Bioenergetic assesment done on him at age 4 and found the things he was allergic to. 3 of them were chemicals in berber carpet. When we moved a year later to a house with mostly hardwood, his eczema almost disappeared. During minor spring flareups with grass pollen in the spring, we use Jojoba oil and un-petroleum jelly and make sure he is eating plenty of vegetables. I highly recommend natural options rather than medical intervention!
It would come in very handy for me. My 3 year old daughter gets it on her arms and scratches it like crazy. Something to soothe it would help her out because she has even started scratching it in her sleep to the point where it bleeds. We have tried everything (except this). We have also discovered that our 10 month old son has it on his cute little tummy ans would love to have a natural product that would help him.
If I were to win this product, it would go to my step-sister who has her baby on steroids and a myriad other RX drugs for his eczema. I hate to see such a wee one on these horrible drugs, but she doesn’t know what else to do. This would help her so much. Thanks!
This giveaway would be wonderful for several members of my family. I myself have horrible eczema on my hands. I avoid using steriods so the situation doesn’t really improve without them.. it would ge amazing to try something natural that works. My daughters have also started getting it on their hands.. the worst is when it gets to the point where it bleeds
.
Does anyone know if this is available in Canada? Thanks!
