FAQ: What does the menthol add to the formula?

Menthol activates cold-sensing receptors in the skin (TRPM8 channels), creating a cooling sensation that temporarily interrupts the itch-scratch cycle. This provides immediate relief from itching while the colloidal oatmeal provides the underlying moisturisation and anti-inflammatory support. The cooling-then-soothing combination makes this particularly effective for acute itchy skin flares.

FAQ: Is Aveeno Skin Relief Cooling Lotion suitable for eczema?

The colloidal oatmeal base is beneficial for eczema skin, but some people with very sensitive or inflamed eczema may find menthol irritating on broken or actively inflamed skin. Use cautiously on acutely inflamed patches and preferably test on a small area first. For maintenance moisturising of non-inflamed eczema skin, the cooling lotion is generally well-tolerated and provides additional itch relief benefit.
