Kid Skin Care - Alternatives to Aveeno (J&J)

G has pretty fair/sensitive skin. He has on/off eczema, but not enough to warrant Rx skin care products. He gets dry on his cheeks and ankles - and a few other spots around his body.

I'm looking for an alternative to Aveeno and other Johnson & Johnson products.

I've seen the Aquaphor wash, we've had great luck with the Aquaphor healing ointment and we don't use anything else to moisturize and protect his skin other than that. Have any of you tried the Aquaphor wash? 

Do any of you have recommendations for more natural products that produce good results?

Re: Kid Skin Care - Alternatives to Aveeno (J&J)

  • Cerave cream is our most favorite, but cetiphil cream is also quite nice. Eucerine is good as well. we used cetaphil soap for EJ too when her skin was especially sensitive.  but now she is better I let her have crazy pink smelling stuff that she wants.
  • Cetaphil soap is what I swear has kept Noah's skin clear this winter - he has hardly had any really bad spots since we switched to using it.   We also use Cerave lotion.   
  • I used the cetaphil bar soap for Jude's first few winters when he had dry skin.  Worked well.

    ditto. Our pedi recommended cetaphil back when dd was young and had skin issues

  • We use cerave cream for my daughter with skin issues.  We use California Baby super sensitive shampoo/bodywash for both girls. And for my other daughter we use babyganics fragrance free daily lotion. I also wash their clothes in fragrance free laundry detergent./

     I used to use aveeno products for the girls but I started learning that aveeno isn't as "natural" as they lead on to be.

     
  • Claire has dry skin/mild eczema and we're still working on the exact right combo. But Cetaphil/Say Yes to Baby Carrots both are nice and gentle on her skin as a body wash and I use generic CeraVe as her lotion.

    When DD was younger, I used Little Twig baby wash. Now that she's older, we use Desert Esscence body wash. They're not particularly for sensitive skin, but they're more natural/no chemicals.

     Dr. Bronner's also makes a baby mild soap that's free of scent.

     
  • our pedi recommended Cerave hydrating cleanser and moisturizing lotion (not the cream for some reason) for similar issues and we have been happy with the results
  • Thanks, all! I appreciate the recs.
