HC 45 Does it help?

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

...when I first used this it did clear my eczema up but took a while but at the time it was quite bad Since then I have had a couple of flare ups my latest being again on the palm of my hands. As I haven't had a flare up for years i decided to try HC 45 again, I apply it and as long as my hands are quite cool it does stop the itching and the eczema does calm down. But as soon as the atmosphere is quite warm my hands start to itch and when I apply the cream it doesn't really help. I find that my hands have to be cool if I want this ceam to work so if it's quite warm i find the best thing to do is run my hands under cold water and pat them dry before applying it, it does seem to have some effect then. **************** Ingredients ***************** hydrocortisone acetate BP 1% white soft paraffin cetomacrogol emulsifying wax liquid...

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

...conditions arising. The gentle, hypo-allergenic formulation is very easily absorbed into the skin and it is suitable for the whole family, including babies The active ingredients for this product are: White soft paraffin BP 14.5% w/w, Light liquid paraffin ph Eur 12.6% w/w, Hypallergenic Lanolin 1.0% w/w. The product contains other ingredients as well but I feel no need to mention these as you probably don?t know what they are anyway and it is the active ingredients that are the most important in any product. E45 is that good it was almost decided a few years back now that it should be made to a prescription only medicine, but luckily it wasn?t and can be bought from any good health and beauty retailers and most supermarkets. Overall E45 is a product that I swear by as I think it is the most effective cream on the market today...

Bosch SGI45E16GB, a lifesaving device

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

...dimensions for the dishwasher are 81cm high, 60cm wide and 57cm deep. The true size I can only attempt to convey to you here, but trust me, it is large and the swing down door activated by a grip lock does need a large amount of room to be fully opened. In a nutshell, if you have a small or narrow kitchen, this is not for you at all. In terms of features and capacity the Bosch SGI45E16GB is way ahead of any other dishwasher in its class, not only does it have an energy rating of A which means that it doesn?t use as much electricity as other models we haven?t seen any real difference in our electricity bills which is reassuring and allayed some of my concerns. As far as the programmes go there are a varied selection of washes, heat settings and delay options all of which are very easy to set using the interface panel and LCD display. There is...

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...

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...

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...
