Melaleuca Renew Intensive Skin Therapy Lotion 20 Ounce with Pump

My 2.5 year old, 7 month old and I all have eczema. It is brutal. The kiddos have it so badly they get horrific patches of dry red skin that looks like an alligator to the look and touch. They also claw themselves until they bleed and are constantly itchy. Eczema is not contagious but is hereditary and extremely uncomfortable and can be tied to allergies and asthma which I have all three, not sure if my kiddos have all of three yet since they are so young but unfortunately it appears they are heading in that direction. Eczema affects my childrens sleep thus mine. Their skin is so bad that strangers feel the need to inquire about their skin or ask me what is wrong. I have taken my children to an immunology/dermatologist specialist at Childrens hospital and Im truly doing everything I can. I did NOT want to use steroids but I have to use a steroid cream when my 2.5 year old has a major flair up. The doctor has suggested showers then deep moisturizing as soon as shes out. Then to apply intense moisturizers, vasonline, comfortable soft pjs that are non skin iritants. I also have to use a steroid cream and Benedryl to assist with the itching. I have tried more creams than I care to list. The dermatologist also prescribed an anti-itch chewable tablet but my daughter refuses to take it so moisturizing and steroid creams are all I can do, thus incredibly important. I tried the Renew moisturizer after two of my friends swore by it and one was referred by her doctor to try it. Personally my dermatologist and the kids dermatologist have never mentioned Renew but I will give almost anything a try. Heres my feed back. While two bottles are near $40 and some people may find that spendy, they are extremely large bottles at 20 ounces each and anyone buying eczema creams are used to this. Creams are usually higher in cost than lotions. As far as moisturizing it is nice but I wouldnt say it is the best thing that I have ever tried. Its not as thick as Eucerin or some of the other creams on the market so I feel I need to use more of it or add vasoline with it but it has a nice silky feel. The NEGATIVE and dealbreaker for me is that for a skin product that is supposed to heal skin sensitivities and issues it has FRAGRANCE added to it. This is UNHEARD of. Why would you add fragrance to something that is supposed to help those of us who have adverse reactions to frangrance? This makes no sense to me and it is an AWFUL smell. I know Im sensitive but it has a really bad smell to it and I dont like my kids smelling like it, this sounds terrible but it kind of reminds me of the smell of a grandma (Im not trying to be cruel, just honest). Im going to use it because I purchased it and it does do an o.k job moisturizing but next time I order cream Im going back to my other options which avoid fragrance. Some creams do have all natural oils which sometimes have a light scent but nothing that has the verbiage FRAGRANCE added. I also feel that you have to use it after a shower or it does not moisturize well and must be reapplied over and over throughout the day. If you dont have any adverse reactions or allergies than the fragrance most likely wont bother you but for someone like myself who is really sensitive I figured it is worth mentioning. I have tried a ton of other creams that people have said have awful smells and they havent bothered me. This smell is definitely bothersome. Pros: -Moisturizes and feels silky on your skin which is nice -Just like it advertises nongreasy formula, it does NOT feel greasy -If applied after a bath or shower it seems to lock in nicely & last for the majority of the day -The bottles are very large so I think the moisturizer has a great price point, it is also nice not to have to order the moisturizer every two weeks. Some moisturizer bottles are so small I continuously have to re-order them every other week which I find it to be very inconvenient. -I have been using it almost a week on my daughters skin and it does seem to be keeping her skin moisturized nicely -The other thing worth mentioning is that some creams really hurt if your child has an open cut from scratching, so far my daughter has not complained which is awesome because usually when shes clawing is when she needs the moisturizer the most! Cons: Fragrance is added to the moisturizer (Im very sensitive) The frangerance that is added smells awful If you dont use it right after showering or bathing the moisturizer doesnt lock in, however I find this is pretty normal for most moisturizers.

In upstate NY, winters are dry and itchy. This is one of the very few that works and works immediately. Legs, arms, face; a little goes a long way. Not greasy and really no smell, not a trendy, flowery product. It just works.

Love this lotion. I have severely dry cracked heels. Used this lotion and they are smooth. Plus its good for sensitive skin.

I use to have real bad eczema. What my doctor prescribed did help but it would only be temporary. So I looked online for something and came across this. I read a lot of reviews and heard amazing stories about how it helped others so I tried it. Gradually using it everyday I noticed over courses of months my eczema slowly went away. Now after using this stuff for over a year all the eczema I once had is completely gone! I never write reviews but for this I have to. This stuff truly worked and changed my life. Its the only lotion I use now. So to anyone who reads this buy it asap!

It is highly moisturizing but I wish they would make it fragrance-free since I am allergic. The scent is over powering. It took several times washing my hands to rid my skin of the smell. I had to give it to my massage therapist.

This product works really well for my daughter who has severe eczema. It does have a really light scent but it honestly smells good. This product has become such a go to, not just for my daughter but for my entire household. It is very moisturizing, it doesnt leave your skin feeling stick or gross, its almost like it is quickly absorbed into your skin and begins to work almost instantly. I would definitely recommend, coming from a mom who has literally spent $100s on finding a product that works well for sensitive skin with eczema.

The bottle arrived with the pump already inserted, and the lotion leaked a bit. The texture of lotion is not as before, it smells very intensely. I dont want to send it back, because I is too much trouble ( have to drive to UPS). Underwhelming.

Melaleuca is another name for TeaTree OIl. Its not overly wet and does moisturize as expected very good. I have found all the melaleuca products to exceed expectations. Its a little more expensive but well worth it.

This product works !!!!! So and gentle—-

Lo he usada por mucho tiempo es muy bueno para la piel reseca
