Winter, I adore you, but you tend to wreak havoc on our children’s skin with your cold, dry air. I’m so done with that dry itchy feeling I get the minute I step out of the shower. And that’s why I’m testing out POLYSPORIN Eczema Essentials, to see if it provides any relief for kids living in harsh, winter climate.
Does your skin look like this? My elbows do!

POLYSPORIN Eczema
I’m always on the hunt for appropriate lotions and potions to soothe my skin and I like to go organic and natural as much as possible. But to be honest, we’ve had zero luck with those products in treating serious conditions like eczema, which my daughter Eve occasionally gets, but thankfully we’ve been spared from this winter. After testing so many different brands, it was time to get on board with this Polysporin Eczema cream.
Does anyone in your family suffer from eczema?
Does Polysporin Eczema Essentials actually work?
So when I was offered the opportunity to try the new POLYSPORIN Eczema Essentials, I jumped at the chance. Last winter I was heavy into hot yoga and found that really helped out my skin, but that’s not exactly an appropriate solution for kids. This POLYSPORIN stuff can be used as part of your daily management, or as occasional flare-up relief to relieve the itch and restore skin.
Trying Polysporin Eczema cream
A few weeks ago I lathered up with the ECZEMA ESSENTIALS™ Daily Body Wash, and after one shower my skin felt different. It was calm, not prickly and I didn’t reach under my shirt once during the day to scratch my back (a rarity, indeed). Great, I thought, now that’s done how am I ever going to stretch this out into a blog post? Fortunately, I overheard one of my girlfriends lamenting about her kid’s enflamed skin. I passed the product over to her and this is what she had to say about it.
Easy to spot in any drug store.
Product review of Polysporin Eczema Essentials
Test Mom: The day I got the stuff, my son didn’t have any eczema going on, but the back of my daughter’s hands were covered in these giant, scaly, red patches.
Daughter: And it was very itchy!
Mom: Within a few minutes of putting on this Polysporin Moisturizing Cream, it was no longer itchy. Within minutes!
Daughter: Yeah!
Mom: The disgusting patches were completely gone after three days of using it.
Daughter: I’m not disgusting
Mom: I didn’t say you were, poppet, I only said that nasty skin condition was, and look, now it’s gone! Don’t you feel so much better now?
Daughter: I guess. Can I use the iPad now?
Mom: Just keep the volume low. OK, another thing, I love that I was able to give her a cream I didn’t mind her using on her own. You wouldn’t want to do that with a steroid cream like cortisone or anything. Just hand it over to them and then it’s done.
And viola! Winter’s wrath is dissolved, just like that.

Hi Jody,
This is great! My husband has been suffering from eczema on his forearms this winter. I’ll go out and buy some of this for him today. Maybe I’ll wait till Valentines Day to give it to him! Kidding.
I usually have unbearable itching and patches starting October of each year. This October was no exception! Every cream I tried would not alleviate the itch. Today I stumbled upon this product while I was googling eczema relief. I decided to go out and buy it that day and I’m so glad I did! After application of the cream, the itching has finally gone away! My cortisone cream didn’t even help. This stuff is amazing and a godsend for those of us who suffer from a skin condition. Try it!!
Wow! Glad to hear your itching is gone. Hope it stays away all winter. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Much appreciated.
I had trouble for about a year and a half with cracked skin and scaling on my finger tips. I used various creams and tried to bandage them for weeks at a time but nothing ever worked. They would heal and the cycle would start again where my fingertips would crack again. I finally seen Polysporin Eczema cream and thought I would give it a try. Within a couple of days I noticed the cracks starting to heal. After about 3 weeks of applying once or twice a day, my fingers are completely healed and I am extremely grateful. I can play guitar, golf, basketball again where before I couldn’t because the cracks would start to bleed.
My fingers are healed with no sign of cycling again, this product is the best on the market and works great!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing, Ty!
I came across your product review and I was relieved that it was working for people as well! I was skeptical in trying this lotion because I have eczema and it can get pretty severe at times..
I tried it for a few days and wow I’m impressed with the results! My rashes aren’t itchy and it looks to be healing too! I’m really happy I finally found a cream that actually says it helps eczema 😀
Great to hear!Thanks for commenting, Pearl.
Is this cream greasy? Does it get absorbed easily?
I didn’t find it greasy. I would say it absorbs well. It’s not like those all-natural zinc sunscreens that you have to furiously rub into your body. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
