"The other one I have here is called XeraCalm AD. If your skin is dry, irritated, and itchy, this has extra ingredients that help turn off something in your skin called substance P, which propagates the itch signal from nerve to nerve, so it's very good if you're really itchy. I love the packaging, because the way this pump is formulated, the contents remain sterile until it comes out of the tube, so you're guaranteed to be putting on a sterile cream on really sensitive skin."

"The next product I use is XeraCalm. This is especially helpful if you have a lot of itching, burning, or stinging pain because of cuts and scrapes on your hands, or cracks from being so dry. It includes an ingredient that helps deplete your skin of substance P, the chemical that signals itch and pain in the skin. It comes in a sterile container so the product isn't carrying any bacteria. I'd recommend doing this treatment primarily at nighttime."

"I love it because number one it comes in a fairly large bottle that you can pump for dispense and two I have used it on myself and my whole family. I love this one for bathing my kids especially removing like water resistant sunscreen. It's a little bit more expensive than some of the ones you may find in drugstores but it's so gentle and it does not leave any sort of residue behind. I've used it on my face and it's fairly effective at removing makeup and water resistant sunscreen."

"The Avène XeraCalm A.D. is a lipid-replenishing cleansing oil so you're going to feel like a slick seal in the shower and just be careful not to slip, but this one is a great one. This one is fragrance free and approved by the national eczema association."

"This is the best thing to remove them, and even if not, this is just a really gentle cleanser if you have eczema, dry skin, or sensitive skin. It's great in the winter. It's lipid replenishing and hydrating, and it is not stripping like so many soaps and cleansers and body washes can be. This one is always on hand at our house. My kids use this. The whole family uses this. It's a super good product."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
