What the science says
Colloidal oatmeal has some evidence for strengthening the skin barrier, with all four direct studies finding it helped and most showing less dry, flaky skin on the legs 1. For eczema, colloidal oatmeal has some evidence of easing symptoms and itching in most studies 2. Studies in both areas also report that the skin holds more water, and one trial found it worked about as well as a prescription cream 12.
