Zeroderma Zeroderm Ointment, Rich 3-in-1 Emollient Bath Additive, 500g

From what i found out this product is identical to the previous brand of ointment i have purchased before, except this one is cheaper. It does what it says on the tin really, i find it good as a skin protectant over my eczema and occasionally use it in the bath. Not all ointments can be used in this way, but this one contains emulsifying wax so it can. It is greasy but not as greasy as pure white paraffin (for example a certain popular brand of petroleum jelly) products available, this one requires warming in my hands as it is thick out of the tub and can drag on my skin. But it melts within a few seconds to a very soft almost liquid texture. It feels quite heavy on my skin but it's very effectivd and i get through a lot of it when my eczema is particularly bad. I put it over a prescription emollient cream, sometimes just a small area, sometimes all over my body. I just wish this came with some kind of spatula included, as with eczema it's particularly important to minimise the risks of contaminating ointments (and other products) by washing your hands thoroughly before opening and using a clean spatula or spoon etc to get the right amount of product out of the tub. Then washing the spatula properly after every application. I have previously had a skin infection due to contamination of an ointment (this had been used by another person years ago and they clearly weren't careful enough) so i know how horrible that can be. It's even more important with such a large tub which should last me years. Luckily i have a spare spatula from another product which i will be using but it should be included in the product. I was pleased this is very newly produced just this month so it'll last as long as possible and i know even if it was stored incorrectly it is such a short amount of time the product won't be affected

This is a really thick ointment and works well at keeping my hands moisturised. Just be careful as it is really greasy so will leave fingerprints everywhere but is good for dermatitis and I tend to use it at bedtime and then wear cotton gloves over my hands keeps my hands from drying out.

Very rich and greasy cream, great soap substitute! Moisturize eczema prone skin very well!

Excellent for dry skin.

good but not cheap

Very happy with this. Applies evenly and smoothly and no reactions which I have experiences with other products in the past. Will definitely buy again

Great skin cream, just as they use in hospital

Works well would buy again

softer skin

I just love this product. 3 ingredients and gets the job done.

I bought this because my baby has eczema and they said this would help to balance her skin and heal her eczema but it just didn’t deliver. Expensive with 0 results
