[Let's Fight Eczema 7] - 4 Pharmaceuticals brands with products suitable for the Eczema Sufferer
Beauty 2/27/2020
Previously I have shared with you 5 brands of products of which some I had personally tried. Today I will be continuing the sharing of the next few brands available in our local drugstore. Aren't we lucky that these days we have skincare products formulated specially for the Eczema skin sufferers?
I do switch around brands quite frequently because our skin tends to get accustomed to certain products after prolonged usage. I do not want this to happen to me. Whenever a new brand launched a new series of Eczema friendly products, I also wish to be the first to try!
#6: Suu Balm

I first came to know Suu balm quite randomly while walking around in the local drugstores. I also remembered them sharing about their brand over the social media. Suu balm's products are formulated at The National Skin Centre making them safe for eczema and sensitive skin. They do not contain steroid but contains ceramides necessary in protecting our skin barriers.
As with all other new brands, I requested for a sample and tested their body moisturizers. After using one of their sachet samples, I was sold because of their minty feel. I remembered tackling my chickenpox issues using Calamine Lotion and it too, contains menthol which helped me control my itch temporarily.
Due to lack of knowledge, my family members had been advising me to use calamine lotion whenever I had eczema flares. It was only in recent years that when I told my GP about it, he actually told me that it will cause skin dryness and it is not suitable for use on eczema skin.
I then decided to dig deeper into this brand and find out what makes it so unique. I also did a detailed product review on their body moisturizer using them on my flares. If you are interested, you can read more here. If you are not afraid of the menthol smell or that it has this cooling minty feel. You will love it as it gives you an instant itch relief. (Its like applying medicated oil or menthol on your skin).
I have since then converted to using suu balm for my eczema care. I now own almost every single product that they have, including their scalp spray, facial range & kids moisturizer. I have also signed up for their various product trials as their products have indeed helped me greatly tackling my skin eczema issues. No joke, you can find suu balm in almost every room in my house.
- Suu Balm Scalp Care - $38.90/100ml
- Suu Balm Facial Cleanser - $19.90/100ml
- Suu Balm Facial Moisturizer - $39.90/50ml
- Suu Balm Body Moisturizer - $21.90/75ml | $49.90/350ml
- Suu Balm Body Wash - $29.90
Price Range estimates: $19.90 - $49.90.

Aveeno's PR team was very nice to have dropped me a media kit of their Aveeno Dermexa range of products when they launched, learning that I am an eczema sufferer. Aveeno is unique because they contained Colloidal Oatmeals necessary to build a healthy, balanced skin reducing flare ups, targeting to moisturize and sooth your skin.
-Aveeno Dermex Emollient Body Wash $21.85/300ml
-Aveeno Dermex Moisturizing Cream $13.87/200ml
Price Range: $13.87-$21.85.
Where to purchase: Aveeno can be found in local drugstores, Qoo10, Lazada, Redmart, Shopee, Amazon and major supermarkets.
Personal review: The first thing that hit me when I used the Aveeno products was the strong oatmeal smell. The smell is pleasant and not artificial or plasticky unlike most commercial moisturizers. It takes awhile for the cream to be absorbed into my skin but leaves no oily, greasy feel. The body wash is also pleasant to use and did not leave any dry feeling after using. Oatmeal are great for eczema skin, so go ahead and try if you don't mind the oatmeal smell.
#8: Sebamed

This brand was introduced to me by my then boyfriend, now husband. When he first learned about my existing eczema issues, he was also going around hunting for eczema friendly products. He picked up Sebamed for me to try as it was meant for sensitive skin. Sebamed did not specifically had any products for eczema sufferers, but their products were mild enough for use on sensitive skin.
Coincidently, my girlfriend also picked up a tub of their face moisturizer which she purchased when she was travelling overseas as I had a bad outbreak during one of our recent meet-ups. I then had a chance to try on their face moisturizer. However, I did not use the face moisturizer long enough to witness any changes to my skin.
-Sebamed liquid face and body wash - $13.60/200ml
Price Range: $13.60.
Where to purchase: Local Drugstores
Personal Review: This was one of the first few brands I've tried before there was any products for eczema sufferers. Their wash is gentle for daily use, mild and light in texture. I stopped purchasing the Sebamed as their stocks was very irregular. It became very difficult to find this particular product in Singapore.
#9: Bioderma

"Specially formulated to effectively treat very dry, eczema-prone skin, #Atoderm Huile de douche and PP Baume intensely moisturises and repairs skin's protective layer, providing immediate relief from itch and discomfort. Feel comfortable right from the shower with our anti-irritation skincare regime. No paraben, alcohol, colourants. Suited for sensitive skin of babies, children and adults." - Bioderma
Bioderma Atoderm Huile de douche $39.90/1litre
Bidoerma Atoderm PP Baume - $25.90/200ml
Bioderma Atoderm crème de douche - $23.12/500ml
Price Range: $23.12 - $39.90
Where to purchase: Local Drugstore, Lazada
Personal Review: As I wasn't comfortable with using shower oil, I decided to try the Bioderma Atoderm crème de douche instead as it promises the moisturizing factor which it did deliver. For my face, hands and body I used the Atoderm PP Baume. I love the texture of the cream, keeping my skin moisturized all day long.

Personal Review:
I would recommend suu balm for both young and old whom are eczema sufferers as their products are gentle to the skin, helps soothes your skin and provides an instant itch relief with its menthol content. Compared to most eczema friendly products, Suu balm not only helps to provide the moisturizing factor, they are almost an instant itch relief.

The first product that comes to mind when someone mention the brand Bioderma would be their Sensibo H20 Micellar Cleansing water. That was also how I first heard about this brand. I love their products and I am still a super fan and user of their Micellar Cleansing water and face products to date. You can read about my review on their cleansing water and other range of products here & here.
