Sudocrem has been around for more than 70 years and is probably the leading product for nappy rash around. Sudocrem has many active ingredients such as hypoallergenic lanolin, to help provide emollient properties zinc oxide is an astringent which reduces the loss of tissue fluid benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate are amongst the ingredients of Peru Balsam, recognised for its healing properties benzyl alcohol is a weak local anaesthetic which acts to ease localised pain and irritation. It also acts as a disinfectant/antibacterial agent and is responsible for protection against common bacterial contaminants.
-----My Experience-----
For as long as I can remember sudocrem has been in my house. My mother used it for everything. As babies she treated out nappy rash with it, when we were teething she covered the rashes on our faces with it. If you have hives it takes the reddness out of them.
I honestly think that Sudocrem is underated. This is a magical cream and I think the only thing it doesnt do is prevent ageing!
As a teenager I was very very spotty. It was dreadful. So one day my mother whipped out the sudocrem and applied a thick layer onto any affected areas - the next morning the spots were still there but they werent red. However this started to dry out my skin - so my mother took out half of the sudocrem and filled it up with baby oil and mixed it together. I got the benefit of no red spots and lovely soft skin
As a parent now of teething two year old - I now understand why my mother loved this product so much. My daughter suffers terrible from teething rash, pimples and a nasty nappy rash when she is getting teeth - and sudocrem solves all of these.
This should be a must have beauty item in every household.
-----Where can you buy it-------
Sudocrem is available just about everywhere. All chemists stock it and it should be available in most supermarkets.
-----Other conditions Sudocrem helps---
(note I have no experience with using it with these ailments)
cuts and grazes minor burns sunburn.
----Conclusion-----
I love this product and I recommend anyone with small children get some if they dont have any already.
