Aqueous Cream

When Little Miss woke us with an outbreak of spots, which increased in number as the day progressed, we decided that it was indeed chicken pox. A quick visit to the doctor confirmed this, and we braced ourselves for the itching which would follow. The doctor advised a combination of calamine cream, antihistemine medicine and calpol, so once we had procured all of these goodies, we were ready to tackle this ailment. The cream did in fact prove to ...
...The cream comes in a small white 100ml tub, and once the seal is broken, the lid can be lifted off easily. All of the instructions and ingredients are clearly stated on the tub. **The Cream** Open the lid to reveal the cream which has a slightly pinkish tinge with a slightly chalky smell although this is obvious only if you really have a good sniff of the cream. To use the cream, all that is necessary is a finger in the tub, to scoop out the required ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...the mainstays of these is aqueous cream, which has been prescribed to him ever since he was a baby. ~~~What is eczema?~~~ Eczema is a group of skin conditions which can affect people of any age. 1 in 5 school age children have the condition, along with 1 in 12 of the adult population. Severity can range from at the mild end dry, hot, itchy patches, to the more severe forms where the skin becomes broken, raw, bleeding and infected. Although eczema ...
...getting infected. ~~~What is Aqueous Cream?~~~ Aqueous cream is a light, supposedly non-greasy moisturiser that leaves an oily film over the skin to prevent moisture loss. It's made from a mixture of emulsifying ointment (which contains paraffin oils) and water with a antimicrobial preservative to help keep it fresh and bug free. The tub I have states that it is “for use as a topical cleanser and emollient” and therefore is not only a moisturiser, ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

I was introduced to Aqueous Cream after a visit to the Doctor. Few years ago, when my daughter was few weeks old, I noticed dry skin patches on several parts of her body. I was not sure what it was. Since she was my first child and a baby I was very concerned about it. I made an appointment to see the local GP. I was told it was mild eczema. She was given Aqueous Cream. She is older now but she still has the mild eczema. Which is not bad as before. ...
...years time. What is Aqueous Cream ? This is a relatively non-greasy cream compared to other creams or ointments used for eczema. The cream is quickly absorbed by the skin. It is white cream and unperfumed. The cream can be used for many different purposes, in the bath instead of soap, soothing cream, an emollient, It is very good for people with dry skin. It is a good moisturiser under make-up and can be used if you have sun burn, it is soothing. ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...went and he was prescribed aqueous cream and oilatum for his bath. the change in him was terrific not only his skin but also his mood improved almost overnight. it must be horrible to be constantly itchy, no wonder he was an unhappy bunny alot of the time. unfortunately aqueous cream and oilatum were not enough for my little boy. he had been scratching and his skin had become infected so he needed steroid cream aswell. he needs the steroid cream ...
...any pink bits before they get to the red stage. it is the aqeous cream that is the real saviour, oliver is now 1 year old and he likes having his creams put on - especially when mummy sings the 'this is the way we do the cream' song!! infantile eczema is supposed to fade at about 18 months so me and oliver are hoping that this is the case for him. though when it is under control it is no problem at all ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...to tell you about is Aqueous Cream. The Packaging ------------- White tub, with screw top lid. 500g. A lot of shops make there own Aqueous cream. Boots and All chemists sell it as a leading product, so its easily available A label on the front in white with black writing on telling you all about the product, which ill go into more in other categories. The Cost -------- This really depends where you buy it from Most places are around £2.50 ...
...is the Co-op Pharmacy at £1.99 which is great for us as we use loads. Be wary of prescriptions for it as i used to pay over £6 on a prescription until the co-op told me how much it is. The Product ----------- Its a white thick cream, like Sudocream that you use for babies, its very thick, you can tip the tub upside down and it wont come out. It has a slighty oily feel to it that soaks into your skin. It doesnt really smell of anything, which is ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...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 skin. ...
...on the majority. This is claimed to be due to the use of preservatives in the cream that give it the shelf life. However, we were lucky and Kami is fine with it. Other Uses? Its not only for flakey babies! It can also be used in the adult world as a cure for chapped or dry skin. Handy in the winter when the wind is up and stripping the moisture from your face. For the guys out there you can use it during and after shaving as it helps to remoisturise ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...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. ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

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 of work ...
...all this dryness business. Aqueous cream is a non-toxic, externally-applied substance so there is no limit to how many times it can be applied if you unforunately suffer from more than a mild case of eczema (usually in conjunction with stronger preparations) or dry skin, nappy rash, contact dermatitis, itchy skin, etc. It can be used on all external parts of the skin area, used as soap (it actually leaves a thin film after washing off with water ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

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 saw some ...
...begins. I have found Aqueous Cream to be very versatile, it can be used to treat exzema, sunburn, sensitive skin, or as a daily moisturiser. I have been known to use it on my skin after shaving my legs and it leaves them feeling gloriously silky smooth. A friend of mine recently recommended I use it on my baby instead of a soap at bathtime. It doesn't irritate or dry the skin out like soap does so this is now used all the time. I use it in the ...

...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. He also use this in the bath instead of soap, as soap is too perfumed and fragranced for his skin.I would recommend this ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...wasn't really heard of. Aqueous Cream Is a water based emoillent,therefore very good for dry skin conditions,Its non greasy and absorbs well into the skin. It has no added extras ie fragrance. But works well as a moisturiser and also a soap. It then came in 500g tubs..which for sufferers of eczema and other dry skin condtions this product was brilliant..as it was easy to use It was easy to administer. But not brilliant if you only used it occasionally.. ...
...I buy it as I only use it for small areas on the skin! Its made by various pharmaceutical companies and believe me they differ loads in the thickness and smell(honest) I typically use the Boots own brand (as I work for them) and my customers get quite annoyed when we have to "buy" in a cheaper brand,as it is quite inferior....there words not mine. ****WHATS GOOD**** Its CHEAP....about £1.60/£1.80 for 500g about £1.00 for 100g(not such a good deal) ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

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 buy ...
...tub (lasts for ages) will cost from £2 - £5. I use this all over my body (especially my face). The cream is used in place of soap or shower gell and can be used as a moisturiser (by not washing it off). Apply the cream to dry or damp skin and massage in, rinse with water and feel the difference. Skin is hydrated and smooth. Especially good after exfoliationg or used as an "after sun" shower wash. In winter when your skin is crying out for moisture ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...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 ...
...hadn't of visited the GP. Tube is pretty standard to look at, has the Boot emblem at the top and has a picture of some pretty leaves in blue on one end. The cream itself is Lanolin free and not perfumed so the smell is pretty non-descript and shouldn't irritate the babies skin like some products do. On the side of the tube it say's it is suitable for symptomatic relief of dry skin conditions. As soon as I got home I applied the cream to my babes ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

...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 use ...
...a gel, why not consider aqueous cream, especially if you have sensitive skin. I had a skin complaint earlier this year, and the specialist who treated me recommended the cream, and suggested that I also use it for shaving. I have used nothing else since. I have found Boots own brand to be the best so far. Check it out and let me know if you agree with me. ...

Review of Aqueous Cream

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 ...
...and is quite thick, you do not need to plaster it on, also it is very hard to rub into the skin you have to rub it for a while. Can you imagine a nappy cream like sudofed and how hard that is to rub in and it leaves like a lather on you skin so you have to keep rubbing well that is what this cream is like. It can be used all over the body area, as it should not cause and allergic reactions, and there are no known side effects. Also it can be used ...
