Epaderm Emollient For Dry Skin - 500g

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.

Excellent cream for dry skin.

Having bought this cream for over 10 years, I have received 1 that had half the tub empty, it was somehow filled in at the top half but not the bottom. That's annoying for the price it is. Aside from that the cream itself is great as a moisturiser. Not complaints there. If you have dry skin or tend to wash twice a day then use this to put some oils back on your skin, or continue to itch. They need to reduce the price a bit though.

Great thanks.

The media could not be loaded. The best emollient you can use for very dry skin and the texture is a lovely thickness that you can mix with a carrier oil like vitamin E, almond oil or argan oil. I love it so much I had to repurchase 👍

I use it with a drop of a more fluid body lotion after the shower just to help spread out for the whole body, and in the most sensitive/dry areas I reinforce hydration when needed with a small amount of Epaderm. Amazing!

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.
