I do have dry skin, and my son has eczema, and for both of these we use Aquaphor (it's Vaseline with a kick!), and for times when we can't be greased up during the day, we use Eucerin. They both work extremely well. The Aquaphor is just like you said: immediately after bathing, we liberally apply the Aquaphor to our son/ourselves within 2 minutes of toweling off (dry off by dabbing gently).
It's funny to me...all of the products on the market, and Vaseline (or it's counterparts with extra medicine) is still the best!
When my son's eczema is bad and itchy, we apply OTC cortisone cream at night, and the next morning, it is gone! This product is not recommended to use on a daily basis; it's for flare-ups.
