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 E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

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...

Bosch SGI45E16GB, a lifesaving device

Advantages: washes without fail, low maintenance, huge capacity, adjustable shelves, multi-programmes
Disadvantages: expensive and noisy

...When I moved into my first house and had to finally start doing all of my own washing, cooking and cleaning the first thing that gave way was my desire to leave my hands soaking in water for 30 minutes every day while I washed up dishes and pots, something I have to admit is something of a compulsion. I cannot leave even one glass in the washing up bowl, it has to be empty otherwise I cannot settle or relax. As a way of keeping me away from the kitchen sink my husband returned from ordering a washing machine with a delivery docket for the Bosch SGI45E16GB and a very smug grin on his face. While I was happy at the thought I was not impressed in the slightest that he had paid a total of £350 for an appliance that would take up lots of room in the kitchen and increase our electricity usage at a time when we had just moved into our first...

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

Men and E45

Advantages: Doesn't smell and gets just the right look
Disadvantages: none

...Now I know most men won't go near any fancy moisturizer or at least admit to being within 3 feet of a bottle, but it's a fact that today's world has an adverse effect on most skin, irrespective of gender. I have been looking for a facial cream that will stop my face from ‘the crumble’ look and doesn’t have that long lasting female aroma for a very long time now and I think I’ve finally found something that fits the bill. Of course, it’s a lot easier to experiment with these creams when you have a wife who actually already uses them , but most of the ones I’ve previously tried all seem to have a certain ‘smell’ to them, which puts me off using them straight away, or are far too oily and make my face feel like it’s ready to be stuck in batter and deep fried. E45 is one cream...

E45 Lazy moisture for lazy people

Advantages: Suitable for quick mositure fixes
Disadvantages: Doesn't work too well for me. Leaves filthy ring behind

...E45 is renown as a fragrance free skin conditioner, for dry skin and other more serious skin conditions, such as Eczema, Dermatitis and Psoriasis. Whilst I'm fortunate that I have none of these conditions, my skin is always dry and I could not do without some kind of moisture on it. There are now many different products in the E45 range, including the original cream in the large tub, but also various body and facial lotions, body wash and bath emollient. An Emollient is basically just another name for moisturiser; It prevents the skin from drying out. E45 Emollient Bath comes in liquid form and is designed to be used in or with water. It is odourless, clear in colour, but turns a cloudy white when in contact with water. It may also be poured onto a sponge or flannel and used in place of soap or shower gel. Sizes come in 250...

Review of E45 Emollient Bath Oil

'EEEE' how good is E45!!

Advantages: Great for dry, sensitive skin and serious skin conditions like eczma
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

...For those of you not used to northerners, 'EEEE' is a favourite start to a statement and can often be heard when you are out and about in Newcastle so "EEE, how good is E45!" is very appropriate for this fab cream! I first used it in my teens, when I suffered from the odd flare up of dry psoriasis on my hairline which sometimes very unattractively wandered down to my forehead. It was a god-send as it did help relieve the discomfort of this skin condition and made me look less ugly! Some 20 years on, I still have my faithful tub of E45 on my bathroom shelf. Fortunately the psoriasis never escapes down to my forehead now so I use this cream as a facial and hand moisturiser. My hands suffer terribly in the cold weather, especially the crevices inbetween my fingers which can become so dry that they begin to crack, but a couple...

Review of E45 Problem Skin Cream

E45 a con

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Dries the skin further

...My 3 months old daughter had a very mild case of eczema and the doctor prescribed E45. Overnight, her eczema became ten times worse but we kept on applying for 2 months. We couldn't understand why her nappy area was always clear, but the rest of her body (where we applied E45) was not. Also, she screamed in pain when we applied E45 on her. Then we saw another doctor, and by chance he's is also an eczema sufferer. He told us that E45 contains soap which dries the skin further, and he even took out a booklet to show us this. The manufacturer added soap to make people wanting to apply E45 more and more. Also, as E45 contains alcohol, it stings any open skin. These revelations complelely explained why our daughters skin was so dry in the mornings, as we applied lots of E45 on her before bed time, and why she cried so much when we applied...
