by Eucerin
Updated August 19, 2026
Heavy occlusive cream for severe dryness and eczema; contains lanolin triggers.
What the community says
This very thick occlusive cream protects and repairs extremely dry or eczema-prone skin. Users with lanolin allergies should avoid it due to irritation risks. It excels as targeted night treatment for moisture barrier restoration but feels heavy and sticky on application.
