Aproderm Colloidal Oat Cream – 500ml pump – Paraffin Free

I began using this product a while back and dont normally write reviews unless something is extremely good or bad. However, having seen this mentioned on television by a dermatologist I thought I would give it a go and am a convert. I use this for removing my make-up and also as a night time moisturiser and it works beautifully. I used to buy serums and moisturisers and spent so much more on those products but I cant see any difference in the effects since using Aproderm. No brainer for me. Highly recommended.

Can’t recommend it enough. I have used so many over the years and this stands out!
1. I have mild eczema and this keeps it at bay and softens my skin better than La Roch and other things dermatologists have suggested.
2. The scent is a but medicinals but it is vegan and cruelty free so i dont care!

Vare careful its so good you might want to slather it all over you all the time but you only need a little bit and the bottle lasts ages. Bye bye E45

This stuff is the business. Not too greasy, not to runny! Moisturises the skin beautifully.

You could see the difference in just a couple of applications of the cream, the skin was less red and sore. Within a few days it was barely noticable. Bought the 100ml tube as well so can take it with me.

Bought this trying to replace Diprobase as that old, tried and tested, reliable formula has been tampered with by its makers and is now a torture device for eczema sufferers.
Aproderm cream is OK. It doesn’t itch and sting like the “for itchy skin” formulas of the new Diprobase and E45. I have eczema and the devil’s own post-chemo / radiotherapy itching. It soothes this but only for a short time.
It seems to melt into a liquid much more that the more chemical based creams. The more liquified it becomes, the less effective it is. The creamier a product is, the better it works on my skin.
The worst thing about the cream is the smell. At best, it smells like you’ve left rolled oats in a jar on a shelf in full sun for a long time. At worst, it smells like an old unwashed goat that’s been left in full sun for a long time.
For the smell alone, I shall be looking for another product. I won’t buy it again unless I’m desperate and don’t plan to go out in public. Even my mother’s Chanel No 5 doesn’t mask the homely, goaty smell.

I always suffered with severe eczema as a child, and had to have all the meds to get rid of it, now for some reason it has decided to come back in my 30s. I’d been moisturising non stop, but nothing was helping, I thought it best to get a proper cream for it.
The patches that had appeared, cleared up after a week of use! Very happy!
I didn’t get the burning sensation that others have mentioned, but I think this is because my eczema was only just reappearing so although the patches were big, they hadn’t gone to the severe version yet. The cream states not to rub in, so I gently swiped it over, in one direction.
It does say there’s no fragrance, but there is a slight smell, I think it’s a faint smell of oats and whatever else is in this. I didn’t really like it too much, I wouldn’t call it a sour smell as such, but I could definitely smell it. I tried going over with another moisturiser, but it didn’t fully mask the smell sadly! I think I just have a strong sense of smell.
I would recommend this cream, but would definitely recommend being more gentle if your eczema is more severe.

Omg absolutely brilliant, I could cry. Like another reviewer I’d had a ppd reaction and a puce face which I slapped sudocrem on which worked. Two weeks later I tried 100% natural Henna and Indigo. This time horrendous rash on face and neck, managed to convince pharmacist to give me steroid cream 1% for a week. Rash itching red, chlorphenamine to get rash down. Still no joy. Cerave suggested by pharmacist still raw. So I looked online and was going for Diprobase which my child had as a baby for excema. Then I saw this…within a day the itching had stopped, rash toned down. It’s expensive but actually don’t forget a normal face cream is in a 50ml tube so actually cheaper. I use on my face and neck and arms. Obviously no SPF in it but I can’t risk a reaction so just stay out of sun or use hat. It’s a lotion so you don’t need much. Nothing to react to. It also says may sting on it..it didn’t sting at all for me on a huge rash that was giving me needling prickly pain. You have nothing to lose by trying this. Read the description but it’s free from basically everything. Another cheaper tip: grind up oats porridge and put water with them and create face mask, similar calming properties. Put whole oats in an old clean pop sock and tie a knot it and put under running tap in bath, the milky water will sooth. Basically this cream is a more convenient form of oats. No paraffin in it which can be flammable on skin. I recommend this. Let me know if you found helpful, I can’t bear to think of other people suffering as well so if this helps anyone else, I’ll be happy. Brilliant product.
