i did an experiment on DS's ezcema (lol blame researcher in me). On one half of his body, I did our normal routine of dermeze/dermaveen for moisturising plus Celestone-M on the eczema (prescribed for him). On the other side of his body, Moo Goo Eczema Balm on the irritation and Moo Goo's MSM Soothing Cream as the general moisturiser....
So what were the results? My conclusion (I know you can't wait to hear ) for us the Moo Goo was eventually as effective at keeping the skin less irritated but it wasn't as quick as the steroid creams. The BIG bonus is that you can use it in the folds of skin where you're not supposed to use the steroid creams, this was FAB!!! So saying, I still use the steroid creams if he really flares up as it seems to settle things quicker, but I'd really rather avoid the steroid creams where possible.
In terms of the moisturising, if it's really dry I still find the dermeze is better, and if I want him all soft & nice smelling (and not looking like a grease monkey!), then the MSM is the go. Only down side, the Moo Goo is more expensive so I just use it sparingly - I'm still on the first tube/tub of both and I bought it about 4 months ago. Definitely worth a try if you're prepared to shell out the $$$. GL!
