Replenishing Dry Skin!

Advantages: Great smell, reasonably priced and says what it does!
Disadvantages: Doesn't come in a tub.

...myself with perfume this isn't a problem for me. - The texture This is surprisingly thin in texture. Given that it is a dry skin lotion, I was expecting it to be richer and thicker in consistency. Sainsbury's are certainly correct in their claim that it isn't greasy and it absorbs quickly in to my skin, in particular the drier skin sections. This is another positive for this lotion as so many others take what feels like an age to absorb in to your skin. - Effectiveness at hydrating my skin I don't have very dry skin all over but suffer from dry patches and flakiness on my shins, in particular during cold weather spells. This lotion has worked efficiently in these areas and has certainly kept the unsightly flakes at bay and has reduced the itchiness of these areas, if used regularly. ~ My Verdict ~ Overall I am pleased with this...

Review of Sainsburys Replenishing Dry Skin Lotion

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)

Effective for baby's dry skin

Advantages: perfume free, easily absorbed, cheap;can be used everyday by the whole family including babies
Disadvantages: clears up dry patch really well, but doesn't cure it

...My 3month old had a slight case of eczema. Her cheeks were red and dry. As we were away for a few days and unable to consult our GP, I used Johnson baby Soothing Naturals intensive moisture cream on my baby. Johnson baby cream smelled awful and didn't work at all. So I had to turn to E45 cream. It claims on the tube that It is specially formulated for dry skin conditions, and has been clinically proven to treat and soothe dry, itchy, flaky, rough or chapped skin. It is recommended for more serious dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. E45 can be used everyday by the whole family including babies. ------------------------------------- 1. The price I bought it on offer from Tesco at 1.09pound for a 50g tube which was on cheap side. ------------------------------------ 2. Directions Apply liberally 2 or 3 times daily, or as...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

Dry Skin

Advantages: effective,
Disadvantages: none

...I bought dermatological E45 cream for my husband, as he had dry skin on one of his fingers. E45 cream is for dry skin conditions. It comes in a white 50g tube. You can also buy it in a tub as well, but we have the tube. The cream is white and not at all greasy. This is good as you do not get all sticky using it. You can use E45 for the following skin conditions:- dry itching flaking chapped skin sunburn detergent hands eczema dermatitis ichyhyosis To use E45 apply the cream to the dry skin area 2-3 times a day. My husband usually used it twice. He would put it on first thing in the morning and then later on when he got home from work usually. We bought E45 from morrison's quite a while ago now. It cost about £2.99, but I'm not quite sure, so I could be wrong. Ingrediants in this cream are:- white soft paraffin...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

A Bargain Lotion for Dry Skin

Advantages: Cheap, effective, nice scent, packaging
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this to deal with the skin on my legs which has become increasingly dry of late (well, that's what happens when you neglect to use a proper skincare regimen through the harsh winter months!). The main reason I chose this particular lotion was the fact that it was so cheap at only £1.95 for a 300ml bottle. The lotion comes in a transparent bottle which makes it easy to see exactly how much you have left, with a pump-action dispenser on top. I find this type of dispenser much more convenient than the usual squeezy bottles, as it gives a controlled amount so you don't end up with too much lotion that will take forever to sink into your skin. I personally find that pressing the top once gives me just the right amount to cover one leg from ankle to knee. Boots say that this lotion is formulated with natural extracts of cocoa...

Review of Boots Cocoa Butter & Mallow Body Lotion for Dry Skin

An Oasis for Dry skin.

Advantages: Moisturizes,softens, and soothes itching
Disadvantages: None

...For the first time in my life I've encountered 'dry' skin. My dry skin is not in anyway paralelled to that of somebody suffering the torture of eczema, or worse. To these people I bear a monumental conscience for whining atall. Generally, my 'dry' skin erupts after a bath, and left unattended, it has interferred with sleep, and drives me mad! The incessant itching and scratching, slowly graduating to soreness.....I count my blessings even so. My 'dry' zones are my hands, in between the fingers especially. The outer boundaries of the base of my feet, and worst of all, down the curvature of my spine. Worst because, I can barely reach it! Why weren't we fitted with double-joints all round?? Not being accustomed to this condition, I was at a loss as to know the best thing to use (or NOT use, for that matter), in order to rectify this...

Review of Vaseline Dry Skin Formula Lotion

Get rid of dry skin

Advantages: Effective, cheap, smells nice, makes your skin soft
Disadvantages: Quite runny, comes out of the bottle fast, leaks out of lid

...I get dry skin especially in winter time so I thought I would try Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion for dry skin. I have used others but I wanted to try a different one for a change. It comes in a 75ml tube with a flip lid. The tube is light yellow in colour with the name of the product in a blue box. It is not an eye catching tube to look at as it's just plain and simple really to look at. The flip lid is really easy to open so you don't hurt your fingers trying to open it. The lotion is yellow in colour, so it matches the tube. I find it quite runny though compared to other one's that I have used like Nivea. Also when you squeeze the lotion out of the tube, it comes out really fast, so you don't need to squueze it hard or too much comes out. You can use it all over your body as a moisturiser for dry skin. I use it on my hands...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

Solution to dry skin

Advantages: free samples from website
Disadvantages: expensive

...I've received a free sample pack of this cream along with a Bath Therapy product about a week ago. I haven't had the chance to try the Bath one yet but this cream seems to be very good. I have a bit of eczema from time to time and suffer from dry patches on my arms and legs which can lead to itching which then gets quite painful so any chance I get to try new products is great. The secret of keeping my skin eczema free is by moisturising and this cream seems to do that very well. Eucerin is a good website to get advice from as it has a Personal Skin Care Advisor section where by answering a few simple questions about your skin type and age it recommends which of the products available are best for you - how many times do we sufferers look though loads of products before deciding on the right one for us. It is manufactured by...
