When should i use moisturizing soaps if i have eczema?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bathing: Moisturizing soaps are best for bathing (dove unscented®, aveeno®). For some people even these are too drying; then consider non-soap skin cleansers (cetaphil® or something similar).

Never: Eczema is made much worse by drying cleansers. Soap is a drying cleanser. You should be using a non soap cleanser that won't dry your skin, such as dove for sensitive skin.
