Cetraben Moisturising Cream for Dry, Sensitive & Eczema-Prone Skin, 475ml

Let me tell you about my skin. My skin is dramatic. It overreacts. It sees a change in weather and decides to flake off like a Victorian house undergoing renovation. It gets itchy. Not just "oh that's a bit tickly" itchy. I'm talking "sit in a meeting scratching your arm like you've got a personal vendetta against it" itchy.I bought the Cetraben Moisturising Cream because I ran out of options and was starting to look like a reptile who forgot to moisturise. I did not expect peace. I got a ceasefire.The First Application:The tub arrives. It's substantial. It feels medical. It means business. I scoop some out, and it's thick. Not greasy-thick, but proper "I am here to fix you" thick. I rub it in, and immediately my skin breathes a sigh of relief so loud I'm pretty sure my neighbours heard it.The itching stopped. Not gradually. Immediately. One moment I was mid-scratch like a dog with a persistent flea, the next I was sitting there with my hand in the air looking stupid because there was nothing left to scratch. It was magic. Witchcraft. Modern medicine at its finest.The Pros:· The Itch-Be-Gone: This cream has a personal vendetta against itchiness. It hunts it down and eliminates it with extreme prejudice. My skin hasn't been this calm since it was attached to a baby who had no worries or responsibilities.· Texture Triumph: It absorbs quickly. You know that horrible feeling when you put on lotion and then can't touch anything for twenty minutes because you've left greasy fingerprints everywhere? Not this. It goes in, does its job, and leaves you with soft skin and zero regrets.· No Scent Snobbery: There's no strong perfume. It doesn't smell like a florist exploded on your arm. It just smells like... relief. Clean, simple, honest relief. My sensitive skin appreciates not being bullied by artificial fragrances.· Multi-Purpose MVP: Hands, arms, legs, elbows, that one random dry patch on your shoulder that appeared from nowhere. It works everywhere. I've started putting it on before bed and waking up with skin that feels like it's been on a spa retreat.The Cons:· The Tub Situation: It comes in a tub. A big, white, clinical tub. It doesn't look fancy on the bathroom shelf. It looks like something a doctor would hand you with a stern expression and a leaflet. But honestly? I don't need fancy. I need results.· The Cold Weather Challenge: If you keep it in a cold bathroom, the cream can get a bit firm. You have to warm it up in your hands like you're preparing bread dough. It's a minor inconvenience for skin salvation, but worth noting if you're impatient.· Family Members Will Steal It: I made the mistake of leaving this in a shared bathroom. Now three other people are using it. I've had to write my name on the tub. In permanent marker. With a threatening note about consequences.Verdict:If your skin is prone to tantrums, if you've ever Googled "why am I so itchy" at 2 AM, if you're tired of looking down and seeing dry patches that resemble a map of a small island nation, buy this cream. It's not glamorous. It's not fancy. It's just effective. Relentlessly, gloriously effective.My skin has stopped writing complaint letters. We're at peace now. We have a treaty. And Cetraben is the neutral party keeping everyone happy.Highly recommend. I'm moisturised, I'm calm, and I've stopped scratching long enough to write this review. Five stars. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go put a lock on the bathroom cupboard.

Very moisturising and gentle on the skin. Absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable. Very happy with it.

Bought this on a recommendation for dry, itchy skin, and it has been brilliant.The cream is thick without feeling greasy, absorbs nicely, and really helps calm down irritation and dry patches. It has no strong perfumes or chemicals, so it doesn't sting at all, even when skin is feeling a bit raw.The big bottle with the pump dispenser is a massive plus. You just keep it by the bed or in the bathroom, and it makes grabbing a quick squirt effortless without messing with squeezy tubes.Great value, especially if you catch it on a bulk deal. Highly recommended if you suffer from sensitive skin or eczema!

I’ve been struggling with dry, itchy skin and random patches of scaly eczema along with generalised itching due to statin side effects and good old menopause! This was recommended. As soon as it arrived I ran to the bathroom and started applying it - bliss!! Instant relief!! Almost overnight the worst patch of eczema on my wrist has just about vanished (see the pics of before n after). I’m so impressed. I would have given 5 but I knocked a star off because although it sinks in and absorbs, it takes 5 of 10 mins to lose that sticky feeling so I did struggle to pull my clothes back on, despite other reviews stating it wasn’t sticky. However, a small price to pay for the relief. Will apply at bedtime from now on when applying to the whole of my body. It’s lasted since I applied it yesterday and my skin feels soft and hydrated and looks much better. I used it on my hands, neck as well and applied the residue on my hands to my face. Great value! I notice some complain about the pump - it works but don’t expect it to work like a handwash

I remember relocating to the UK in Spring and my skin started drying out. This cream saved me and I’ve been using it ever since. Great moisturising cream

I risently spent time in hospital & this cream was used there,&was very affective the nurse’s were kind enough to send me home with a bottle when that ran out I’ve bought some more.I'm expecting it to be as good as they sell to the NHS,I’d highly recommend.

I'm an older lady in my mid 70s and I've looked after my skin all my life as I was counselled to do from young. So when it suddenly started looking really dry for no good reason (especially my legs ) and flaky I spoke to my GP but may as well as saved my breath. He couldn't have cared less all I got was "well you are getting older" . Yes thanks for that but it doesn't mean I have to have sandpaper skin but I got no help or answers as to why !!! So for over a year I've tried all manner of intensive moisturisers and oils but none helped.By sheer chance I came across this one and read someone else's review so bought it. I've been using it now for approx 2 weeks and the difference is astonishing it really is. (No I have no connection to the company I promise).No longer does the skin on my legs look like oil globules floating on water, all dried up !!! My skin is smooth and sleek again after putting this on morning and night. Its quite a thick cream but its not horribly greasy it just makes the skin feel nice and smooth. I can't believe after all.this time I've found this product and my GP could have prescribed this a year ago if he'd bothered..If you suffer with dry skin I suggest you might want to give this a try its certainly top of my list now and its not expensive for the large bottle you get. I hope it works for you.

An excellent cream that's lasts quite a while judging by how it's going so far.Highly recommend by a friend who has eczema after my child struggling with GP prescribed oatmeal cream. This cream has no food based ingredients and so far it working wonders. A little goes a long way. Great value for money and easy to use on the go

I love it👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

This product is effective on certain burn scars and has a non-greasy formulation.
