Best Eczema Skin Relief Creams In Singapore
Safe, Gentle, And Effective For Babies And Kids
In this day and age, eczema is such a common occurrence in babies and kids and environmental stresses have played a huge role in accelerating it. According to the Singapore Medical Journal 2017, 8% to 23% of children aged 6 to7 years old had atopic eczema and 10% to 14% of pre-schoolers aged 4 to 6 years old had chronic eczema. Also known as atopic dermatitis because of its tendency to be genetic, it appears as red, dry patches on cracked skin and can sometimes bleed. This is particularly similar to adult eczema. The main areas affected by eczema are elbows, face, neck, hands, and back. With our ever so hot and humid climate, eczema can get very uncomfortable for the little ones to the point where it might affect their sleep. What’s worse is that infection can occur if your kiddos start scratching on those itchy spots! While eczema is not curable, it can be effectively managed and controlled. We’ve rounded up the best skin relief creams formulated for the young ones that’ll soothe irritated skin and ease their discomfort.

CERADAN SKIN BARRIER REPAIR CREAM
Eczema prone patients tend to have a raised skin pH which leads to a lack of physiological lipids production. Studies have shown that the ratio of 3:1:1 between the different types of lipids is optimal for skin barrier repair. Ceradan is a scientifically designed ceramide-dominant moisturizer with the lipid ratio of 3:1:1 that helps replenish the lacking ceramide in atopic dermatitis skin. It's safe to use on babies and kids with dry, irritated, and sensitive skin. Price: 80ml SG$49.90. Available at Watsons and other leading pharmacies, and clinics.
