Baby with KP needs HELP! (not a sales pitch, please)

Hi,
I'm new to this site, because my 9-month old, Tori, was just diagnosed with KP. It turns out that I have it too, and never knew what it was. I just thought mine was dry skin, because it's mild (on the backs of my arms). Unfortunately, the baby doesn't have such a mild case. Hers is all over her legs and chubby cheeks.

After looking around on this site and others, it seems that the majority of "help" one receives is from people who have products to sell. I'm obviously willing to buy a product that works, but I am confused as to why there aren't more solutions out there besides "buy my cream, it works".

Can anyone tell me what ingredients I should be AVOIDING for my daughter? Is there a product you can buy in your local stores that would help? I currently use Mustela Dermo-Cleansing Gel for Hair and Body (especially for newborns). I've been using it on both my daughters (I also have a two year old) since before I knew about the KP. The dermatologist told me to use the Eucerin/Aquaphor baby cream on her legs and cheeks twice a day (it's similar in texture to Vaseline).

Any help you could give me would be great. I'd love to hear from parents who have tried over-the-counter products and had success... if there are any.
Thanks,
Robin
