NEA-accepted products most commonly target sensitive, dry, or very dry skin. Labels may also list normal, combination, mature and, in some formulations, oily skin.

Common label statements include "dermatologist tested," "dermatologist recommended," and "clinically proven" to describe testing or clinical results.

Product sizes in the sample set include 1 ounce, 3 ounces, 6.76 fl oz (US), 8 ounces (8 fl oz US), 16 fl oz (US) and 22 fl oz (US), ranging from small trial jars to larger bottles.

Stated durations vary: some products advertise fast itch relief in minutes and several hours of relief (examples include '2 minutes until relief' and '8 hours of relief'), while others note 24-hour or 48-hour hydration.

Application guidance varies: most direct users to apply to affected areas as needed; at least one product specifies a limit of "no more than 3 to 4 times daily," and some ointments advise applying before bed to help lock in moisture.
