What kind? - 2008/04/13 03:28 When shopping for shampoo, I saw that Aveeno has two different kinds. One was a creamy and the other just a regular. Which one is recommended for dry skin and quilling? ~Erin~

Re:What kind? - 2008/04/13 06:04 I use the body wash Aveeno for my hogs. It's called, "Skin Relief Body Wash with natural colloidal oatmeal, moisturizes to relieve itchy, dry skin."

I know some people here use the powdered bath suds, but because I couldn't find those I went with the regular soap. I've even used it on myself and it is extremely gentle and great for dry skin.

Hope that helps! *~*Steph*~*

I use the same thing. You can buy it in a box of three packets at Wal-Mart for about 2 bucks. It does work pretty well. Lisa

Re:What kind? - 2008/04/13 23:38 I did not see the packets at my Wal-Mart. Just the two kinds I mentioned in the first post.

Re:What kind? - 2008/04/14 08:28 It is usually in a box with a bunch of packets. The aveeno one is called "skin relief bath treatment"

There are usually generic store brand ones too at places like walgreens and walmart. You only need a little bit of one packet in a sink or basin so one packet will last awhile.

Well I actually tried looking for it every where at Wal-Mart in the soap aisle. But it turns out it was in the remedy aisle. You can also get it at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and Target. Hope that helps. Here's a pic:

But I think I might try the body wash type on Omelette, so I can use it too!

Thats the one I use, and because it's for babies it won't irritate her eyes or anything. Then after a bath she's baby fresh!!
