What the science says
Colloidal oatmeal has some evidence for easing eczema, with most studies reporting fewer symptoms and less itching 1. Panthenol and colloidal oatmeal both have some evidence for strengthening the skin barrier and helping skin hold more water 23. For dehydrated skin, panthenol has some evidence for boosting moisture, reducing water loss, and making skin feel less rough 4.
