Epaderm, Cream, 50 gram

Epaderm Cream isn’t your average moisturiser—this is a dermatologist-developed emollient designed to soothe, protect, and maintain skin that’s prone to dryness, eczema, irritation or barrier breakdown. While it’s commonly used for general hydration, it’s surprisingly effective in more specific and stubborn conditions—including one I suffer from every summer: tiny, itchy, blister-like "bubbles" that crop up on the sides of my fingers or palms during hot, humid spells. If you’ve ever had these, you’ll know how annoying they are. These are often a form of dyshidrotic eczema (also called pompholyx)—little vesicles that feel prickly, sometimes itchy, and worsen with sweating, water exposure, or stress. What Epaderm does in these cases is simple but crucial: it creates a breathable yet protective barrier over vulnerable skin, preventing further evaporation, friction or environmental triggers from making things worse. The glycerine draws moisture into the skin while the paraffins trap it, calming inflammation and promoting healing without harsh chemicals or actives that could aggravate already sensitive areas. In my experience, applying Epaderm several times a day—especially after washing hands or using sanitiser—helps stop the blisters from progressing into cracks or weeping patches. It also reduces that burning-stretchy feeling skin gets when it's inflamed and dry at the same time. Used overnight under cotton gloves, the results can be even better by morning. Unlike heavier ointments (such as its sibling product Epaderm Ointment), the cream sinks in without making your hands greasy or sticky, making it more practical for daytime use—at work, on commutes, even just sat at the desk. It doesn’t sting, doesn’t clog, and doesn’t add any fragrance to already irritated areas. Keep a tube in your bathroom, bag, car, or nightstand—wherever you may need a fast-acting, non-greasy defence against dry, tight, itchy or flaking skin. I’ve just ordered a second to keep in my glovebox—because if you’ve ever stood in a queue trying not to scratch the back of your hand off in the heat, you’ll know the value of quick, cooling relief. In short: Epaderm Cream is more than a moisturiser. It’s a skin barrier repairer, heat rash preventer, eczema soother, and blister blocker. Especially during warm months, for anyone with dyshidrosis, contact dermatitis, or dry, reactive skin—it’s worth its weight in calm.

I have eczema on the backs of my hands and between my fingers. After years of steroid cream use the skin is thin and looks awful. Spent a long time looking for a cream to replace the steroids and I think I have finally found it. Great moisturiser which leaves my skin soft and hydrated. I've left it a while to write a review and since using morning and evening I haven't had any flare ups or breaks in my skin which is fantastic. Very impressed, a little goes a long way and it absorbs into the skin well.

This cream is AMAZING!! I have tried so many and they were no good. It’s really helping clear up my dermatitis and soothe it fast! Highly recommend!

Perfect little tube for travelling — a small amount goes a long way. The cream is quite thick and leaves a bit of a shine on the face, but it’s extremely effective for calming any redness or dry patches. Works quickly and keeps skin hydrated for hours. A reliable skincare essential to keep in your bag.

Great cream - use it mostly in the winters when my hands get cracked. Keeps my skin smooth and forms a barrier. Nice size and good value for money.

Wow! Was advised by a friend to try this after a psoriasis breakout under my arm. The area was extremely sore and after speaking to her she told me to try it. In 24 hours the difference is amazing! Can already see a big difference and the area is a lot more comfortable than it was

Moisturising, soothing and absorbs well
