super dry skin, Lotion recs?

Lady*Timot

My poor little man has super dry skin on his face.  We lube him up as best we can.

Aveno doesn't touch it.  Currently we are using Aubry Organic's Baby lotion and that seems to at least be helping but it's SO slow to heal.  At least the redness is reduced.

DH is randomly at the Docs office (we all see same doc) so he's gonna ask about recs for something stronger.

But moms...can I get your recs?  My friends have said aquaphor but LO is in the "rub everything on my face" stage.  I'm so afraid he'll get it in his eyes, not to mention mommy was covered in aquafor after I put him to bed the other night.

I definitely second the Aveno lotion specifically for eczema. Cetaphil also works well for my daughters.

Cetaphil is amazing. My son gets super dry patches on his skin and the cetaphil clears it up after a few applications!!

Coconut oil has worked for my LO. She had red, raised dry patches on her forehead that were peeling. I've been putting it on 2-3 times a day for a couple days and they're still rough, but normal colour and no more peeling. They look almost healed.

If you don't mind a little project I made a calendula salve and have been using it on my DS for a couple weeks. He has cradle cap and very dry skin on his face and legs. I found a recipe online and all the ingredients at a health food store. Calendula has

Coconut oil is the only thing I use on DDs face.
