<p style="text-align: left;">Does anyone in your family suffer from eczema?  I have suffered from terrible eczema since I was a small child.  Two of my children have also inherited my sensitive eczema prone skin. Thankfully theirs, so far, has not been as severe as mine.  Two years ago, through my local dermatologist, I FINALLY found a solution for my itchy rashes!  The solution?  $300 per tube prescription cream!  While I am extremely thankful to have a solutoin, it is also full of strong steroids.  Although I appreciate the cream at times, if the rash is not extremely bad, I prefer to avoid the steroids if possible.  This is why I am so excited about <a href="http://www.neosporinessentials.com/home.php" target="_blank">Neosporin&#8217;s new Essetial line for eczema.  </a></p>

<p><strong>About NEOSPORIN®:  </strong></p>
<p>As  a trusted leader in the skin health category, NEOSPORIN® helps restore compromised skin from chapped lips to cuts and scrapes to a visibly healthier state.  The NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ Collection contains products designed<br />
for use on eczema-prone skin. All products are non-prescription and available in the First Aid aisle of mass market retailers.  For more information, visit <a href="http://www.neosporinessentials.com/home.php">http://www.neosporinessentials.com/home.php</a></p>
<p>I received a trial pack which included all three new essentials products.  Both myself and my two children wtih eczema have appreciated the products.  The anti-itch cream was the first product we tried.  Anyone with eczema knows how troublesome itching can become with eczema!  I must say it did the trick and stopped the itching right away!  We also did not need to reapply &#8211; it seemed to zap the problem right in the bud!  We have been using the daily wash and moisturizing cream as well, and I must say that especially on my 3 year old daughter, I have noticed much softer smoother skin!  My skin is quite troublesome, so I have still needed to use my prescription cream periodically.  However, I think we will definitely be keeping these products in stock in our home!  Neosporin is a brand we trust, and I appreciate a product that is safe and yet works!</p>
<p>Have you seen or tried these products yet?  What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by <a href="http://www.momcentral.com/mcc" target="_blank">Mom Central Consulting</a> on behalf of Neosporin Essentials and received a product sample to facilitate my review, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.  All opinions are my own.

<p>I received a trial pack which included all three new essentials products.  Both myself and my two children wtih eczema have appreciated the products.  The anti-itch cream was the first product we tried.  Anyone with eczema knows how troublesome itching can become with eczema!  I must say it did the trick and stopped the itching right away!  We also did not need to reapply &#8211; it seemed to zap the problem right in the bud!  We have been using the daily wash and moisturizing cream as well, and I must say that especially on my 3 year old daughter, I have noticed much softer smoother skin!  My skin is quite troublesome, so I have still needed to use my prescription cream periodically.  However, I think we will definitely be keeping these products in stock in our home!  Neosporin is a brand we trust, and I appreciate a product that is safe and yet works!</p>
<p>Have you seen or tried these products yet?  What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>I received a trial pack which included all three new essentials products.  Both myself and my two children wtih eczema have appreciated the products.  The anti-itch cream was the first product we tried.  Anyone with eczema knows how troublesome itching can become with eczema!  I must say it did the trick and stopped the itching right away!  We also did not need to reapply &#8211; it seemed to zap the problem right in the bud!  We have been using the daily wash and moisturizing cream as well, and I must say that especially on my 3 year old daughter, I have noticed much softer smoother skin!  My skin is quite troublesome, so I have still needed to use my prescription cream periodically.  However, I think we will definitely be keeping these products in stock in our home!  Neosporin is a brand we trust, and I appreciate a product that is safe and yet works!</p>
<p>Have you seen or tried these products yet?  What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by <a href="http://www.momcentral.com/mcc" target="_blank">Mom Central Consulting</a> on behalf of Neosporin Essentials and received a product sample to facilitate my review, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.  All opinions are my own.

<p style="text-align: left;">Does anyone in your family suffer from eczema?  I have suffered from terrible eczema since I was a small child.  Two of my children have also inherited my sensitive eczema prone skin. Thankfully theirs, so far, has not been as severe as mine.  Two years ago, through my local dermatologist, I FINALLY found a solution for my itchy rashes!  The solution?  $300 per tube prescription cream!  While I am extremely thankful to have a solutoin, it is also full of strong steroids.  Although I appreciate the cream at times, if the rash is not extremely bad, I prefer to avoid the steroids if possible.  This is why I am so excited about <a href="http://www.neosporinessentials.com/home.php" target="_blank">Neosporin&#8217;s new Essetial line for eczema.  </a></p>
