I'm not a metrosexual so this is for me. (Diprobase Cream)

Advantages: You don't come out the other side smelling of summer apples.
Disadvantages: A little goes a long way so take it easy.

DiproBase emollient cream has to be THE moisturiser. Although little known to people it is excellent value for money compared to some of the flashy advertised brands you get on TV with sports stars prancing about and in my opinion does a far better job. --- Housing, quantity and labelling --- I buy DiproBase in a large quantity and therefore go for the large 500g bottle (about 30cm in height). The bottle is made of a very simple white plastic with ...
...you are moisturising with slippery hands the last thing you want to be doing is fiddling around with a screw cap, so 5/5 for the easy application facility. The label follows a similar trend to the housing with a simple no nonsense approach with all the information presented clearly, concisely and without the need to have to search through lines and lines of useless bulk to find what you are looking for. Only two real warnings, keep out of reach of ...

Review of Diprobase Cream

Skin healing magic in a tube

Advantages: Well-priced, effective, soothes and prevents infection, works on a variety of skin problems
Disadvantages: None

...always got a tube of Savlon in my cupboard because it's good to be prepared for any little accidents or skin problems. The brand itself is very popular and probably the one that springs to mind when you say 'antiseptic cream'. Savlon is readily available at most pharmacies and supermarkets and can be bought in 4 different sizes: 15, 30, 60 and 100g. 30g of cream can be bought for around £1.15 in tesco and comes in a blue squeezy tube. It's easy to ...
...never had any problems with Savlon Skin Healing Cream; it has always delivered on its promises and is priced very well. Savlon is definitely something I would recommend, especially if you have children. I wouldn't be without a tube of this because it's good to always be prepared. It's no wonder it's the 'Nation's Favourite Blue Tube' [Also written by me, Cazkins, on DooYoo] ...

Review of Savlon Antiseptic Cream

It changed my life for the better

Advantages: It stops excessive sweating
Disadvantages: burning sensation when you apply

I have been mulling over things that I have brought that I feel have played a huge part in my life and I wanted to review something that I really felt strongly about. First off I want to explain that this product is an antiperspirant. However it is no ordinary antiperspirant and is used to help hyperhidrosis (which is excessive sweating). The product contains Aluminium chloride and it works by controlling the sweat glands. This can be used on armpits, ...
...own personal experience with sweating (as unpleasant as it may be) because it is relevant to my opinion of this product. When I started reaching my teens I realised that no matter how much deodorant I used or how much I washed I would sweat profusely from my armpits. I never had a problem with smelling bad, I just used to sweat so much it used to seep through my clothes. As I got a little older into my late teens and early twenties this problem dominated ...

Review of Anhydrol Forte Roll-on

Aloe Vera Gel: Excellent purchase.

Advantages: Smoothes, moisturises, cheap, clean feeling.
Disadvantages: Possible interactions with skin.

...it claim to do? Organic Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel. A clear gel in a large tube. It is for external use, for application to irritated skin. I also use it to protect my skin after bathing, and as a moisturiser. Application I have various stretch marks on my chest due to growth spurts in puberty, and a few scars that I have acquired over the years over my body. I hoped that this gel would be able to soften, moisturise and generally provide ...
...Reading up on aloe vera, I found out that the highest % pure aloe vera that you can get is the best for doing the job it claims to. I settled on this product because it seemed to be the most natural one on offer, with a high percentage of the magical Aloe Barbadensis. I love this product. Applying to skin it starts to dry quickly. This temporarily produces a tightening feeling on your skin but when it's settled in, the smoothness is astounding. I ...

Review of Aloe Pura Organic Aloe Vera Gel

Reassurance in a cream

Advantages: antiseptic, treats a variety of skin probs
Disadvantages: strong smell, not easily absorbed

I'm sure a tube of savlon lurks in most first aid boxes, the smell certainly reminds me of the cuts and scrapes of my childhood, where this was a staple in my mum's box. Savlon is an antiseptic cream that comes in a foil/metal tube (like a toothpaste). It soothes and prevents infection whilst encouraging the natural skin healing process. It can be used on cuts and grazes as well as minor burns, blisters and sores and sunburn. It is also great for ...
...used on spots, shaving cuts and nappy rash - although these are things that I have not used it for. When I was younger, I frequently had it applied to cuts and grazes and remember it stinging on first application (a few seconds of what would now just be a tingling sensation) but it meant that my wounds did heal and it gave peace of mind that they wouldn't be infected. Nowadays, I'm much more likely to apply to minor burns from cooking or ironing ...
