THE DOWNSIDES
Its very expensive to buy off prescription(about£12)for 100ml Its expensive if you pay for prescriptions £6.30 The tube isnt very user friendly,Its a screw off cap,and your hands are wet after application! One tube dosen't go along way!
I guess what im sayng is,If you suffer with Dry skin and get prescriptions its worth checking this product out If you go to the stieffel website www.oilatum.co.uk you can apply for free samples....which can only be a good thing.

to buy.
Oilatum Bath Emollient 300ml is £8.95 from Pharmacy2U,and Boots.com.
Oilatum Bath Emollient 500ml (the size I have) is strangely enough £6.95 at Chemist2Go.Which is a bit of a bargain!
They also have a 150ml size for £4.21.So Chemist2Go win on price.
It is also widely available from Boots,Tesco Pharmacy and other good Pharmacies around.
OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE OILATUM RANGE..

As this product contains liquid paraffin..Please remember it will make your bath very slippery..so be sure to wash all traces away afterwards and be careful when you get out to avoid doing ...
Advantages: Moisturising properties Disadvantages: Manky white layer
My eldest daughter suffers from eczema very badly and has done for most of her life. I have tried lots of different products in the last few years to try and sooth her discomfort and moisturise her sandpaper-like skin. I have recently been using oilatum bath oil as a showergel, which has proven to be quite effective but rather messy.
My grandma has been researching products in magazines and presented me with this soap bar, also by oilatum, to try. The idea behind her purchase being that it would have the same effect as the bath oil but without the messiness.
The bar cost around £3.50 and can be purchased from places like boots. It is easy to identify it as the packaging is similar to that of the entire range of oilatum products, being a white box with blue text.
Inside the box you will find a pink coloured oval shaped soap ...
Advantages: Hydrates your skin and leaves you silky smooth Disadvantages: Expensive
My Mum suffers with Arthritis and has been on steroids for 30 plus years and they have made her skin thin and very flaky, no matter how much moisturising cream she uses it doesn?t help.
Recently she was in Hospital and was showered and bathed with a product called ?Oilatum? and they advised her to carry on using this to soften and protect her skin.
She got it on prescription from her Doctor and has never needed to use moisturiser since then.
You can only buy it at a pharmacy and it?s expensive the showergel is £8 for a 125g tube, small bottle for bath use is £4.80 and large £8.50 and a bar of ?Oilatum? soap is £3.50 (but a word of warning the soap is not as good as the other products)
To use the showergel you must first shower as normal and then on wet skin apply small amounts and massage in gently, rinse briefly with warm ...
