Best Eczema Creams
As someone who has had eczema my entire life, I’ve tested my fair share of creams over the years and spent a huge amount of money trying creams only for them to then sit in my bathroom untouched for years. If you’ve read my eczema story, you’ll already know that my eyes are the worst effected area, and that I struggled with steroid withdrawal for a while until I finally found a natural cream that got rid of my horribly dry and flaky skin.
I created The Eczema Store to help others with sensitive skin and eczema, so that they don’t have to go through the pain and expense of desperately trying products, only to find that they make your skin worse and aggravate your eczema. So on this page are the three creams that without fail always get rid of my eczema flare-ups. They are all natural and organic, gentle and suitable for all ages (including newborns) and are reasonably priced.
This select group of products are the only ones I trust to do the job, and I hope that one – or all – of them work for you too.
Please be aware that everyone is different, and what works for me might not work for you. Always patch test with a new product.
Dr Organics Manuka Honey
Rescue Cream
The Dr Organic Manuka Honey Rescue cream is my favourite product for my eye eczema and dry skin on my face.
It’s perfect for your night-time skincare routine as it’s incredibly thick and moisturising, and when I have a flare-up I carry it around in my handbag and apply it every couple of hours. I find doing this gets rid of my eczema around the eyes within a few days and helps the dryness and red skin on my face.
I first discovered this cream in 2012 and have been using it on my eye eczema ever since. If I could only keep one skincare product for the rest of my life, this one would be it!
The cream is an intensive hypoallergenic emollient that leaves the skin intensely moisturised. Using a complex blend of bioactive organic Manuka Honey, the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Rescue Cream guarantees that the nourishing and restorative properties found in this unique honey are captured and combined to produce a rich, absorbent bioactive cream.
MooGoo MSM Cream
The MooGoo MSM Moisturiser is a moisturiser that makes your skin silky smooth and moisturised, thanks to the 10% of MSM sulphur in the formula. It’s ideal for those suffering from eczema on the face or the body, and is a great cream for babies and children because the formula is so gentle.
This is the product I use the most on my body when I have eczema under my knees or larger patches elsewhere on my body.
MooGoo products are free from mineral oils, parabens, and phenoxyethanol, meaning you can use it on sensitive skin without worrying about what’s in the ingredients list!

Having suffered from eczema for most of my life, and face/eye eczema since 2012, I’ve spent a lot of time testing out products to get rid of my eczema flare-ups. Balmonds Skin Salvation, is one of the products I always have in my bathroom cabinet in case of a flare-up.
The ointment is soothing and rich, and perfect for layering onto your eczema flare-ups overnight to give it plenty of time to soak in and work its magic.
I personally only use this product on my eye and face eczema at night because it takes so long to soak in that make-up can’t be applied over the top. But I highly recommend it – it works brilliantly and can also be used on babies and children who are over six weeks old.
Balmonds Skin Salvation is free from parabens, preservatives, petrochemicals or perfumes, which makes it perfect for eczema-prone and sensitive skin.
