More than 1% colloidal oatmeal – formulated with a unique Triple Oat® complex for eczema-prone skin.​

​Formulation Matters: The unique formula in Aveeno® provides greater efficacy & stability. This unique blend of components provides multiple benefits for eczema-prone skin.​

Triple Oat® addresses 3 critical actions with a multi-faceted mechanism of action:​

  • Strengthens the skin barrier​

  • Provides anti-inflammatory relief​

Oat oil (oat lipids)

Strengthens the skin barrier from within supporting endogeneous production of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and filaggrin

Promotes skin's endogenous ceramide production (up to 3× vs untreated)

  • Oat oil activates PPARα and PPARβ/δ pathways, increasing endogenous ceramide production, preventing water loss and promoting hydration.

  • Replenishes phytoceramides and contributes lipids essential for barrier resilience.

Keeps the skin barrier fortified

  • Strengthens barrier integrity by reducing water loss via occlusive & humectant mechanisms.

  • Helps maintain lipid homeostasis to support optimal barrier function.

Oat extract (avenanthramides)

Acts as an anti-inflammatory

Helps soothe skin and reduce signs of irritation

  • Oat extract (avenanthramides) helps reduce inflammatory mediators by blocking cytokine release.

  • Provides antioxidant support, helping defend skin against environmental stressors.

Helps reduce irritation and support the skin’s natural defense mechanisms

  • Avenanthramides help calm visible redness and support the skin’s natural reactivity threshold.

  • Helps maintain comfort by soothing irritation within 24 hours of exposure.

Oat flour (colloidal oatmeal)

Helps support a healthy skin microbiome

  • Acts as a prebiotic, supporting the growth and metabolism of beneficial skin‑commensal bacteria (e.g., Staph. epidermidis).

  • Enhances microbial activity that contributes to lactic acid production and pH optimization.

Helps maintain optimal pH & boost hydration‑related pathways

  • Helps normalize skin pH to the ideal slightly acidic range, supporting healthier barrier function.

  • Increases HAS2 expression (+220%) and hyaluronic acid production (+43%), improving hydration capacity.
