Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Emollient Cream 150ml
Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Emollient Cream (150ml) is a rich, non-greasy moisturizer specially formulated with a Triple Oat Complex. It is clinically proven to moisturize for 24 hours and soothe the itching and irritation associated with very dry, sensitive skin. Unscented and paraben-free, this emollient cream helps restore the skin’s natural barrier, making it safe for babies from birth and effective for adults with eczema-prone skin.
The Science of the Triple Oat Complex
Aveeno is the pioneer of "Colloidal Oatmeal" in skincare.
Key Features & Benefits:
- 24-Hour Hydration: Provides long-lasting moisture that survives through diaper changes and clothing friction, reducing the need for constant reapplication.
- Immediate Soothing: The oat-based formula significantly reduces the "itch-scratch" cycle, calming redness and heat on the skin almost instantly.
- Hypoallergenic & Fragrance-Free: Contains no artificial scents or dyes, which are the most common triggers for skin flare-ups in infants.
- Fast-Absorbing Texture: Despite being an "emollient" (which are usually thick and sticky), this cream absorbs quickly, allowing you to dress your baby immediately after application.
- Paediatrician Tested: Formulated to be mild enough for newborns and suitable for babies who may be prone to eczema.
Product Specifications:

How to Use for Best Results:
- Cleanse: Use a soap-free wash like the Boots Baby Head To Toe Wash to ensure you aren't stripping the skin before moisturizing.
- Apply to Damp Skin: Pat the baby’s skin dry gently (don't rub!) and apply the cream while the skin is still slightly damp to lock in maximum moisture.
- Frequency: Use at least twice a day, or more frequently on particularly dry patches like elbows, knees, or cheeks.
- Gentle Massage: Use slow, downward strokes. Rubbing too vigorously can generate heat, which can sometimes trigger more itching in sensitive skin.
Pro-Tip: This cream isn't just for babies! If you have dry patches on your face from using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid or the Care:Nel Peeling Serum, a tiny amount of this Aveeno cream is an excellent, non-irritating way to "patch repair" your skin.
