How should I wash skin with eczema?
When washing eczema-prone skin, use lukewarm water rather than hot water, which can strip natural oils and trigger inflammation. Wash using a gentle, soap-free cleanser like exederm Daily Body Wash, applying it with your hands or a soft cloth instead of harsh sponges. Limit baths or showers to 5–10 minutes, gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel, and immediately follow up with a daily moisturizer to lock in hydration while skin is still damp.
Does exederm Daily Body Wash contain soap?
No. exederm Daily Body Wash is 100% soap-free. Traditional soaps rely on harsh alkaline ingredients that disrupt the skin’s delicate pH balance and strip away vital natural lipids. exederm uses ultra-mild, non-soap cleansers designed to gently cleanse without triggering dryness, irritation, or itching.
Are body scrubs good for eczema?
No, physical body scrubs, loofahs, and harsh exfoliating washcloths can cause micro-tears in fragile skin and aggravate eczema flares. Sensitive, flare-prone skin requires soft, non-abrasive care. exederm Daily Body Wash gently cleanses without stripping natural moisture or leaving skin feeling "tight," red, or irritated.
Does exederm Daily Body Wash contain SLS, CAPB, or other irritants?
No. exederm strictly avoids Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB), synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh paraben preservatives. SLS and CAPB are commonly used foaming agents that can trigger severe skin reactions—in fact, dermatologists often use SLS as a benchmark irritant in patch testing. exederm prioritizes low-irritation functionality over artificial lather, making it ideal for ultra-sensitive skin.
Can I use exederm body wash on my face?
Yes. Because exederm Daily Body Wash is non-comedogenic, soap-free, and formulated without harsh surfactants or fragrances, it is gentle enough for daily facial cleansing on sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
Why doesn't exederm body wash foam like regular body washes?
Most conventional body washes create heavy lather using chemical surfactants like SLS and CAPB, which can strip natural oils and inflame sensitive skin. exederm focuses on pure cleansing functionality rather than artificial bubbles, using mild ingredients that clean effectively without drying out or damaging the skin barrier.
