Doesn't work for dry skin. Review on Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion

This lotion may work for babies without dry skin problems, but it doesn't do a thing for babies with slight eczema problems. I put this on my baby twice a day and although she smelled good, it wasn't helping her dry patches. Right after I put it on it would look like it helped, but an hour later the dry spots would be noticible again.

When I spoke to my pediatrician he told me it was way too watery to actually moisturize skin and that most of it evaporates rather than penetrate into the skin. I needed something much thicker.

I have had much better luck with Gentle Naturals Baby Eczema Cream by Baby Orajel. It worked almost overnight. It is more expensive, but worth it since it actually does the job. I also use regular Eucerin lotion (as recommended by my pediatrician) when she doesn't have dry patches. It doesn't have the yummy baby smell, but it is less expensive than Gentle Naturals and it keeps her soft and moisturized.

So, if you just want your baby to smell nice then Johnson & Johnson is a fine choice, but if your baby needs lotion for moisturizing purposes look elsewhere.
