<p>I realize that I&#39;m running a very real risk of turning into <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2010/12/ive-stolen-this-cream-from-my-kids-not-really-but-were-learning-about-sharing.html" target="_self">an eczema blog</a>, but if you&#39;ve ever had to deal with it and you find something that works you can&#39;t help but share. It&#39;s such a frustrating thing to deal with, especially when the ones dealing with it are your kids.</p>
<p>The Cetaphil people heard that my boys develop eczema when the heating season starts, and they asked if they could send me a sample of their <a href="http://www.cetaphil.com/Products/Restoraderm.aspx" target="_self">new Restoraderm moisturizer and body wash</a>. I said yes because I&#39;m not stupid. Also, because I actually buy Cetaphil multiple packs at Costco so I know their products quite well.&#0160;&#0160;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef0147e0f75fd7970b-pi.jpg" style="display: inline;"><img alt="DSC_0150" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef0147e0f75fd7970b" src="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef0147e0f75fd7970b-500wi.jpg" title="DSC_0150" /></a></p>
<p>The first thing that struck me is how creamy the body wash is -- that up there on the left a little bit of the moisturizer and the wash is on the right. Hard to tell which is which, right?</p>
<p>Bath time wreaks havoc with my two sons with eczema. The pediatrician keeps telling me not to bathe them as often, but they&#39;re kids and they need to be bathed at least occasionally or they start to get a little ripe. Bath time was downright luxurious with this wash -- not what I expected because as much as I love Cetaphil I can&#39;t say I&#39;d think to use it to bathe, just to wash my face.</p>
<p>The wash is super creamy but still creates some bubbles -- having worked in the skincare industry I can tell you that bubbles have nothing to do with how clean your skin is getting, but it&#39;s hard to believe that something that doesn&#39;t bubble is actually getting you clean, especially when you&#39;re a kid. The Restoraderm wash is gentle, but it&#39;s not tear-free (oops!) so be careful when washing baby.</p>
<p>The moisturizer is unscented and skin drinks it right up.</p>
<p>Guess what? The combination of the wash and moisturizer has practically cleared up the three year old&#39;s skin. I&#39;m thrilled! No more scratching, no more rough skin -- it&#39;s been nothing short of amazing. My other son didn&#39;t have as bad a case to work with this time around, so the effect isn&#39;t as noticeable, but it certainly hasn&#39;t made things worse.&#0160;</p>
<p>The boys and I give this product a thumbs up! I love finding stuff that does what it says it does.</p>
