HC 45 Does it help?

Advantages: saves going to the docs
Disadvantages: only suitable for mild irritations

...over the counter. I decided to try them first. I used HC 45 and it seemed to work so this is what I am going to review. HC 45 contains the active ingredient hydrocortisone which is used to reduce inflammation. Inflammation happens due to irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful. When hydrocortisone is applied to the skin it apparently works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the inflamation reducing the itchiness etc. This is why it should not be used long term as it can cause the skin to thin. HC 45 can also be used on insect bites, but in any case it recommends that it is not used for more than seven consecutive days. Now...

Review of Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream

E45 - Great for the Skin

Advantages: Moisturises, Nourishes, Smoothens, Softens, Good value for money
Disadvantages: If you like products with some sort of scent, this is not one of them

...I started using E45 when a friend of mine had it when we were still in school and prone to all sorts of pimples during our teens:) I have since continued using it (albeit on and off) as I felt the product really worked and is very effective on dry skin. E45 Dermatological cream comes in various sized all-white jars with the words E45 in white within a big blue caption and you cannot miss it on the shelves with other skin care products. You can get E45 in most Boots and Superdrug stores and pharmacies or supermarkets; It retails from about £2.50 for the smaller sized jar to £6 for the larger 500ml jars, you can get some of those with pumps too for easy application. The product itself is a white cream with a smooth texture, it has no fragrance and is unperfumed and hypo-allergenic. E45 contains 'Water, Petrolatum, Isopropyl Palmitate...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

e45 - the dry skin hero!

Advantages: effective cream.
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...I, like many others suffer from eczema and dry skin is often a problem. However, I think that e45 dermatological cream helps reduce the problem. E45 is non-greasy and unscented and helps to treat dry, flaking and chapped skin. It also helps sunburn too. Is there anything it can't do? Well it can't get rid of eczema completely but it dramatically decrease the problem. The product is also good as as it doesn't sting or cause any irritation. Just make sure to rub it in completely so there's none left wherever you've applied it and you'll have your skin smoother than a baby's bottom in no time! :) This one little tub does a big job. It's true what they say good things come in small packages....

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

E45 for me...

Advantages: Really is a wonder product
Disadvantages: None

...E45 is another wonder product as are many other products manufactured by Boots. Boots developed E45 many years ago, it was approximately the 1950?s when it was developed and it is still their own product to this day and is manufactured on a daily basis so it is still doing very well. Crookes Healthcare is a division owned by Boots Healthcare International and they manufacture E45 under this division, along with other massive brands such as Nurofen, Clearasil and Optrex. E45 comes in a variety of products, ranging from lotions, hand creams, body washes and the actual E45 cream itself. All of the products are used for the same purpose, to soothe, soften and relieve dry and sensitive skin conditions. E45 is available in a variety of sizes ranging from a 50g tube, a 125g screw top tub or a 500g pump action tub. The 500g tubs are...

Review of Hc45 Hydrocortisone Cream

E45 For Problem Dry Skin

Advantages: Works Really Well
Disadvantages: None

...Suffering from extremely dry skin I have searched what seems like an eternity to find a product which can relieve some of the more unpleasant side-effects that can often accompany this condition, particularly as I work in a relatively hot environment which tends to further exacerbate the situation. Most people have heard of E45 Cream in some form or another however the product that I will be reviewing here is Dermatological E45 Cream Treatment for Dry Skin Conditions 50g. What is it? Dermatological E45 Is an extremely effective and pleasant cream to use. The manufacturers claim that it has been clinically proven to treat and soothe dry, itching, flaking, chapped rough and calloused skin. It can also be used in the treatment of sunburn which I must admit I had been unaware of until I was doing a little research around this product...

Review of E45 Problem Skin Cream

E45 Miracle Cream?

Advantages: Skin feels smooth, helps with eczema and dermatitis
Disadvantages: Needs to be used regularly, may cause spots, sinks in slowly

...As an eczema sufferer I have used this product pretty much all my life. It is recommended by doctors and is also a good moisturing product even if you don't have problem skin. ***The Product*** The product comes in a round container with an easy lid which you screw off. It comes in 50g, 125g, 350g and 500g tubs. I have the 350g tub which has lasted fairly long. E45 claims the cream is "an effective, non-greasy emollient that's been clinically proven to treat and soothe dry, itchy, flaky, rough or chapped skin. We also recommend it for more serious dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. It's quickly and easily absorbed and works by replacing lost moisture and forming a protective barrier, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable again". ***Is it Non-Greasy*** I'm afraid that it is greasy. For best results...

Review of E45 Problem Skin Cream

Siemens ME45 Old - But unbreakable!

Advantages: Solid phone, easy to repair, simple to use
Disadvantages: Old features

...The Siemens ME45 was released in early 2001 as a hard wearing a durable mobile phone, and has had some staring roles, such as being the handset used by Jason Bourne, in the film, The Bourne Supremacy. It was the James Bond of phones, and as testiment to its ability to bare knuckle fight off any damage, they can still be found for sale here and there, reaching high prices in comparison to other phones of its age. As a Mobile phone, it boasted several features of its time that were quite advanced. Being modelled on the S45 model, the internal bits are more or less the same, and can be cross polinated in most cases for repair and so on. The technical side is as follows for those who demand it, but the best stuff in my eyes is below it: o GSM900/GSM1800 o Battery type: Li-Ion 840 mAh Autonomy...

Review of Siemens ME45

Siemens C45 - Ageless Mobile?

Advantages: Small comfortable to use, robust, ageless design.
Disadvantages: Nothing to warrent mentioning here

...The Siemens C45 is getting a bit long in the tooth as far as mobile phone technology is concerned, but seeing that my wife and I have had over 3 years of trouble free service out of two C45s, I thought I would do a review. In my view Siemens are to be congratulated on this phone. Before I got the C45, I had one of the early pay-as-you-go vodaphones from Tesco - remember those? Anyway, one day I was getting into the car and didn't notice that I'd dropped my phone on the road and reversed over it. It still worked OK but the slot to plug the charger in was completely smashed. So a new phone it had to be and off I went to the Vodaphone shop in Cardiff. Because I was not a heavy user, I would stay with pay-as-you-go and this little neat little C45 measuring 12 X 5cms caught my eye for £75 and with a little bit of bartering (I...

Review of Siemens C45

Siemens C45 - A good phone

Advantages: Loads - see op.
Disadvantages: None.

...“Be inspired” – Quite a clever little slogan Siemens use for their phones, but I think it is very well put. They have chosen a great snappy little title and it suits their phones very well. After my unfortunate encounter with the Trium Mars (read my op) I decided after one and half years to get a new phone! The Trium was great but it was very boring and it was just basically crap. So there I was in The Link browsing around – I kind of had the idea of what I wanted, the Siemens C45 but I wasn’t to sure. In the window there was this big offer - The Nokia 3310 with £50 worth of free accessories and £25 calling time – the accessories were crap and I only wanted a new phone so I could put my Sim card in it. So I went for the Siemens… This phone is great. I love it so far and the possibilities...
