...make no difference. However, with the Aqueous cream we noticed a difference straight away. The skin softened up and began to become smooth and regular. The cracks dissappeared and now we have a perfect baby with perfect Skin. All of this happened less than a week after we started using it. Some caution should be issued though. Not everyone can tollerate the Aqueous Cream. In fact, it may cause a reaction in some children and babies with sensitive ... Read review

Advantages: is very inexpensive
Disadvantages: cant think of any

...my children. You can buy Aqueous over the counter and is much cheaper than a prescription, I paid £1.85 for a 500ml tub which goes a long long way. So all in all it is really inexpensive, and if used as a moisturiser under make-up is much cheaper than the leading brands. I would certainly recommend this cream to anybody and have done so in the past, with good feedback from those who have tried it. ... Read review

Advantages: effective,cheap
Disadvantages: n/a

Aqueous cream is one of many emollients available on the market. Emollients hydrate, soothe and soften the skin and can be used for all dry skin and scaling skin problems. The effect is somewhat short-lived though and one needs to re-apply as necessary to maintain that effect. The main ingredients are emulsifying ointment and phenoxyethanol base added to freshly boiled and cooled purified water. Having come across aqueous cream in my line ... Read review

Advantages: quick results, cheap, effective, gentle on all skins
Disadvantages: has been known to make symptoms worst

I was first introduced to Aqueous Cream after my son was born 5 months ago. As he was a week overdue, his skin was fairly dry, a common problem in late babies so I've been informed. My midwife recommended I invest in a tub of Aqueous Cream as she said this would help clear his skin. So I went straight out to our chemist and bought a large tub (500g) for £1.15. At first I rubbed it into my baby's skin after his bath and almost immediately I ... Read review

...has exzema and was perscribed aqueous cream by his doctor for daily use and in the bath.It really helps his skin and the eczema has nearly gone.If I use normal bubble bath it comes straight back so I know this is keeping it under control. It is quite messy to apply and the smell is oily but other than that it does a great job.

Advantages: It Works !!
Disadvantages: No Frills Product

I have used this product since I was a small child. Being alergic to anything perfumed or coloured as a small child was not a problem to me but as time goes buy I now realise how careful my poor Mum had to be. This cream has been around for donkey's years. This in it's self is proof that the stuff works? Right? It has no colour and no scent so is perfect for anyone with sensative skin. The packaging is basic and clinical looking and you can ... Read review

Advantages: Keeps skin soft and moisturised for ages
Disadvantages: None

...to the GP who prescribed Aqueous cream. So trundled down to Boots with babe in hand and searched the skin products down the various aisles but couldnt find it, I presumed it would be where the E45 cream and Oilatum were kept but to no avail. So asked at the pharmacy counter and on the shelves behind was the Aqueous Cream. I went for Boot's own brand as it seemed the cheapest option at just over a £1 for a tube of 100g, far better value than E45 ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper and more beneficial than foams or gels
Disadvantages: Comes in quite large tubs so you need room on your bathroom shelf

...it is well known that aqueous cream is a good emollient for skin conditions, did you also know that you can use this wonder cream as a soothing shaving cream? Use just like a normal shaving cream, foam or gel, aqueous cream will give you as good a shave as any of the other high street products that are out there, and for a fraction of the price. A large tub can be bought at all good chemists for around £2, and it lasts forever, and does not ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and effective
Disadvantages: None

Aqueous cream adds water to the skin and relieves the symptoms of dry skin and chapped skin. It is £1 for a 100ml tub which is excellent value. It is obviously like most creams it will either work for you or it will not. I find it relieves my skin though, as my skin is quite itchy and I have slight dry patches I just rub the cream into the affected areas when I need to, it adds a bit off mouisture to my skin, and because it is water based it seems ...
