AproDerm® Colloidal Oat Cream 100ml Tube – Paraffin Free, Vegan, 2-in-1 Moisturiser and Soap Substitute; Suitable for Dry Skin, Eczema, Dermatitis and Psoriasis

I honestly wasn't expecting much from this as due to my sensitive skin I've been disappointed so much in the past by countless moisturisers that caused irritation and soreness along with the dreaded increased redness. This helped my skin so much and didn't cause any irritation at all. No burning, no redness and no soreness at all. It also helped moisturise my skin which had been quite dry to the point of horrible little flaky parts. Only a little bit was needed and I found the instructions on the back to be very clear and honest. I patted it on and managed to restrain from my usual over rubbing the product in as it clearly stated that by doing so, irritation may occur (or words to that effect!) My skin absorbed this so well and so quickly and it seemed to work magic by instantly soothing it and erasing the very dry parts that I was so self-conscious of. I have also used this on my son's skin who suffers from dryness along with redness. My skin is a combination of rosaeca and extreme dryness along with dreaded spots at my age. Usually moisturisers cause my skin to become more irritated (including outbreaks) however this does not cause any of these annoying effects. No greasiness. Cannot recommend this enough and the price was also reasonable particularly when you realise that not a lot is actually needed for each application.

I use this as a hand cream, because it absorbs easily and doesn’t leave a sticky or squeaky feeling. It seems to be doing what I personally expect, which is preventing dry skin. It has exactly the scent that you’d expect oats to smell like.

This cream actually got rid of my dry, red, flaky patches of eczema on my face within 4 days of applying twice a day to my face the patches were gone. The day after the first application my patches had already visibly lost their flakiness and I could see them getting better each day. I have also applied to my wrist and fingers and although the eczema on my wrist hasn't gone yet, the cream has calmed down the itchy stinging feeling and has prevented me from having to use hydrocortisone cream which I had been applying every 2 weeks before this cream due to constant flare ups ! If you feel disheartened by your constant flare ups of eczema, then this cream is 100% worth trying and has been so much more effective than all the emollient creams I've been prescribed by doctors.

In the past I have had many reactions to various lotions and creams so its been a struggle to find some that are compatible with my ever changing sensitive skin problems. So far, only a weeks' use so far, this one is helping to calm the latest flare, I chose this one as its paraffin free. Its easy to use and keeps the place where its been applied moisturised. 😃

Very good for my sensitive skin

This is a really good everyday hand cream for someone with eczema. It absorbs fast but also leaves hand moisturised and no scent.

…sadly still made my hands itch (contact dermatitis) quite badly, so I had to stop using it.

Really lovely cream. After developing a sensitivity on my face after shingles 😳 I can’t use my usual cleansing and moisturising products. I’ve been using Epaderm, which is brilliant, but thought I’d try this as it’s oat based. I don’t feel it’s quite as moisturising as the other stuff.
