Description
Indications
Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion is a skin protectant that treats and prevents dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations. It also shields the skin from the dehydrating effects of wind and cold weather.
This moisturizing lotion contains dimethicone as its active ingredient, an emollient that softens and moisturizes the skin while reducing itching and flaking. It works by forming an oily layer on the skin’s surface that traps water within the skin.
