Epaderm Emollient For Dry Skin - 500g[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

Great value for the 500g tub! Works well on my sons eczema!

Tried all the usual brands you find but this one we found to be perfect for our little girl. It’s not a liquid and we found that it stayed on a lot longer and it cleared up dried skin better than anything else. Worth a try if other products aren’t working. Lasts forever too

I've always liked Epaderm although admittedly I always use it with wheatgerm as I like a little more moisturiser. It mixes very well and works great for dry skin. I don't really use it on it's own but because it mixes well and works well on my skin with other oils is the reason why I buy it. It seems to pull in the wheatgerm and feels great especialy in the winter when a little more moisturiser is needed. On it's own it soaks in the skin a little too well that one needes to keep putting it on every so often throughout the day. However, I feel it's a lovely product and will always buy and use with wheatgerm because of the way it pulls the wheatgerm in and the moisturiser effect last longer on the skin - mainly the face and hands.

Having just endured the ravages of a 3-week course of topical 5-Fluorouracil to treat widespread AKs on my face, I was looking for an intense moisturiser to use in the subsequent phase when the skin has become extremely tight, as if wearing a mask, inflamed, very sore and inclined to crack painfully with every facial movement. Anybody who has been through this treatment process will immediately be able to relate to what I am saying. Epaderm was recommended to me as the perfect solution to my needs by a relative of mine who had used Epaderm successfully for a number of years to treat bad Eczema. It is unscented, with no added colouring, no SLS and has a wonderful smooth consistency which makes it easy to apply to even the most sensitive skin. And the thing I appreciated about it most of all is that it caused me absolutely no discomfort, it didn't sting or burn at all, when I applied it to my face. What did happen though was that, within 24 hours, the mask-like top layer of skin that had been successfully treated by the topical 5-Fluorouracil slowy and painlessly began to become detached and flake off and 72 hours later (with very little assistance from myself!) had virtually all come away leaving pristine, pink, new skin beneath. This new skin needs extra special care and protection - not least from the sun's rays - and intense, deep moisturising, especially in the first few weeks, whilst it "matures" and again Epaderm is proving the perfect product for my needs. Be aware that Epaderm is NOT a sunscreen; you should take all necessary steps yourself to avoid the sun's rays coming into contact with your face and forever after, when outdoors, wear a sunscreen on your face of minimum Factor 30 to protect your skin and prevent further damage! As a product to soothe and protect your skin and to promote a speedy recovery phase after treatment with topical 5-Fluorouracil, I have found Epaderm the perfect solution and would highly recommend it to others in my position.

Good cream with multiple uses. Greasy and thick if applied on it's own but is so good to use as a body wash when mixed with water. Very soothing and hydrating, leaves a coated silk feeling on the skin acting as a barrier on the skin. Nice to use!

Best ever for any skin ailment.

Thick emollient cream which I use on feet, knees and elbows …….. fantastic.

I hope this helps one person! I thought I was at the end of my life.Adult female (not that this matters as skin conditions don't discriminate) with no allergies or skin conditions. Over my lifetime I have mixed and matched everyday creams/oils/lotions/soaps without any issues. Dry skin here and there but nothing worth investigating or too noticeable. Used cheap to drugstore to luxury brands plus 100% oils such as coconut etc. I eat anything. I am 34. It all started as a slightly noticeable itchy scratch behind my knee. I thought a patch of dry skin whatever and applied whatever lotion I felt like on that day. It became intense but again I thought nothing much of it! Next thing I know I had the most severely itchy rash under armpits, behind both knees, inner elbows and yes... all over my downstairs region from front to back! It was horrendous! I was using ice packs from the freezer for instant relief and over the counter antihistamines NOTHING worked. I even tried an anti fungal pill from the local pharmacy. GP thought it was flexural eczema as it was only in folds. Prescribed steroid cream and off I went. Next few days later thing the rash spread all over my body. The most disgusting intense feeling I have ever had. I hate to admit it but I was almost at the end. It was like my brain was affected and depression hit as I gave up. Sleep? NO, felt like a thousand needles all over. Bedding felt horrendous/t shirts felt horrendous. NOTHING WORKED. Went to A&E had IV with steroid/antihistamine and painkillers . Came home and ordered this tub of cream. WOW it might have been starting to die off anyway but this really helped. I spent a small fortune on creams and lotions ( dream cream from lush is nice and plain old vaseline) . I dug into the tub for days on end. **Please be careful around flames and look the ingredient up** . I will add what I did on the road to recovery after my hospital visit. I didn't shower often! I had a bird bath (bits) and lathered this on. It was never found out what I had. I thought of skin issues previously as nothing, I was ignorant. It is debilitating and life changing. What had I done differently? The only thing I can think of it diet! I went plant based for almost a month. Not processed literally vegetables and normal family meals just with veg in place of meat. Was this a reaction? I will never know but I also started to go back to normal eating straight away too. Whatever it was ruined my life for SIX weeks. My skin barrier was damaged for about THREE weeks and I have scarring on my abdomen from the rash - like skin pigmentation marks that could pass as birth marks. This may fade or it may not. If you are reading this and have a similar issue, is it eczema or diet or touched something or ate something WHATEVER IT IS - IT WILL PASS! It is a journey.
