Neosporine Essentials are Essential for Eczema

Don’t let the fun alliterative title fool you, Neosporine Essentials are no joke. As a parent of a preschooler newly diagnosed with eczema, I couldn’t have been more excited to review this new line of products. Not only is the entire line of eczema care including daily body wash, moisturizer and anti-itch cream specifically designed for eczema sufferers, they eliminate the need for more expensive products. I was shocked a few weeks ago when scouring Target for eczema lotion and fragrance free body wash to discover how much I’d have to pay for such products. Holy pricey Batman!

Luckily not only do they seem to help my son’s delicate skin in the midst of his first flare up, but the website is also an incredible resource with help for parents and caregivers whose children can’t stop itching from this unfortunate condition. The 1% Hydrocortisone Anti-itch Cream works especially well. My son has itched some spots to the point of bleeding, so with the help of short nails, this cream and even a band-aid or two for more troublesome areas, in just a few days I’ve already noticed a marked improvement.

From NeosporinEssentials.com

Neosporin Essential products “are all fragrance-free, and the National Eczema Association (NEA) has given their Seal of Acceptance to the Daily Moisturizing Cream and Daily Body Wash.” Other tools such as the Flare Discovery Tool that helps identify eczema triggers, their FAQ page and links to additional resources offer parents like myself a one-stop shop for all things eczema. This is a product I can stand behind 100%. Thanks Neosporin!

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Neosporin Essentials and received a product sample to facilitate my review, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Review: This app takes the prize for most engaging over a long period of time.

They can even add their own picture to "become" a princess themselves.

Teach Me: Kindergarten

Price: $.99
Platform: iPad, iPhone
Review: We have more educational apps than we know what do to with. Hand down the best learning app is Teach Me. It's simple but effective and includes sight words, addition, subtraction and spelling. The built-in rewards system with "stickers" is their favorite!

Jumpstart Preschool Magic of Learning

Price: $2.99
Platform: iPad, iPhone
Review: We've been fans of Jumpstart for years when first introduced to their online virtual learning world. The app is just as comprehensive teaching preschoolers math, pre-reading and critical thinking skills. It's a go-to app for both kids, but my nearly 3-year old son is particularly mesmerized.
