Cetraben Body Cream Moisturiser Perfect for Dry Sensitive and Eczema Prone Skin Dermatological Body Moisturiser 50 ml (Packaging May Vary)
Choosing the right moisturiser
Everyone’s eczema is different and personal to them, that’s why picking the right moisturisers to help hydrate your skin is important and can help you manage the symptoms of your condition quicker. If you have eczema-prone skin, finding which product is right for you can be challenging, but that’s where speaking to your pharmacist will help guide you in making the right decision. As a general rule of thumb, lotions tend to be lighter and used for covering larger areas of eczema-prone skin. Ointments tend to be a thicker consistency and are best used before you go to bed, so the product has time to soak in. Creams are for everyday use and can be used directly onto the problem but also more frequently to keep the skin hydrated and nourished throughout the day.
Keeping Hydrated
Everyday skin loses water and loosing too much can lead to dehydrated skin, which can cause irritation and conditions like eczema. Everyday habits and environments can help fast-track water loss, such as air conditioning, the weather and not drinking enough water. Hot showers can also contribute to dry skin, but a product like Cetraben Cleansing Cream is a soap substitute so not only will it keep you clean but hydrate your skin whilst in the shower. It’s always recommended to use a moisturiser throughout the day, not just on flair ups – this will help manage any on-going reoccurrence of dry skin.
Your skincare routine
Making sure you follow a simple skincare routine every day will help keep your skin hydrated and rid of irritants. It will also help ensure you’re able to get on with your day without the stress and worry that eczema-prone skin can bring. As a first step use a skin diary to keep on top of any flair ups – this will help you isolate your eczema triggers and help you manage them better. Trying to establish a good skincare routine on top of everything else can be challenging, so set yourself a reminder so that you don’t forget. And most importantly use a moisturiser that hydrates your skin frequently during the day, not just when flair ups occur. You can find multiple products to help you throughout the day, such as Cetraben Cream which comes in a pocket-size 50ml, and Cetraben Ointment which can be used before bed.

It has become invaluable for all kinds of skin problems I’ve had since then.
The pump dispenser is very convenient – and precise.
This size is the most economical and lasts for ages.
It is of the same nice thick, silky consistency of the original, thoroughly recommended.
This is a handy moisturiser for those with eczema, I always keep it at my bedside and use it whenever my skin is getting dry or sore. It does help, but I feel like it’s overpriced for a fairly basic moisturise
This is a great moisturizer I use it on my face and neck, I have sensitive combination skin.
I use the cream for my hands as I wash my hand a lot due to the nature of my job
And I have seen a great improvement
Not greasy
The Amazon website lists White Soft Paraffin as the first ingredient, when it arrives, the tub tells you that Purified Water is the first ingredient. (See picture.)
Still, it’s good that it comes with a tamper-proof seal. The brand I’ve been using (Diprobase) stopped including the tamper proof seal.
I have dry sensitive skin and many products would cause an uncomfortable allergic reaction. However, this cream works wonders for my skin. Would recommend.
Bought this for my son’s eczema. The big bottles mean that we aren’t afraid to apply it fairly liberally to any problem areas. It works as well as any other creams we have tried. It’s very thick, so you can plaster it on heafily with no worry about it dripping. It’s become a regular order for us now as we get through a bottle every few months.
Works very food for my skin, very think and moisturising.
Really good for super dry skin. Nice and creamy not all watery and thin. Absorbs into skin well. The more im using it the improvement is obvious. Excellent value.
I get it on proscribed by my doctor. So I m used to using it. But I ran out of it.so I bought some more. Its really good.
Good value size. I’ve been using this product for many years. It’s been prescribed by NHS to my ageing mother so sould be a safe for all to use. Although it eventually rubs in, you know it’s still there protecting you if you wash as you can feel the cream protecting you.
