Oilatum Cream (150g)

*Independent, non-compensated, verified buyer.*Purchased for my son's eczema, I have been more than happy with the results we have seen and have begun purchasing bottles for myself and my daughters. It does take a bit to absorb, but no more than any other heavy cream, and it does not leave a "slime" coat.• For those of you with little ones going through the same early years eczema: I found that applying 3-4 times per day dramatically cut down on outbreaks and reduced the need for cortisone. Use liberally, but not so much as to leave a tacky layer when dry.• For everyday adult use, I am happy with the results applying morning and evening (after towel drying from shower) because I don't have a slimy, tacky feeling or a shimmery glitter appearance from the other stuff I've used. I was trying to find an adjective to describe how it feels, but the best I can come up with while maintaining accuracy is the cliche of silk. It seriously seems to tighten your skin a bit and feels like those silk shirts that were so popular in the 90's (now I'm aging myself)!Do NOT put this on so thick that you have a tacky feeling. I think some people are just slathering it on like the normal, watery lotions you buy at Walmart. Which would account for some of the negative reviews. A bottle will last both me and my son, doing all the aforementioned applications because I'm a lotion addict, a good month and a half. Not bad for the price!

I've had eczema flare ups in my adult life. In the 1990's a dermatologist told me to use Oilatum soap to mitigate these issues. At that time you could actually find it in the U.S. at certain retailers. At this time I cannot find it. This lotion is AMAZING. Seriously. If you have skin issues this is amazing. No smell and yet a thick consistency that isn't greasy and truly works. It adds a shine to my skin without being greasy. Ladies-great for after shaving to give you that glow.Why oh why is this so expensive? It lasts a long time so I cannot complain too much. I also really appreciate that the bottle has braile (the last one I purchased anyway). Awesome as in the U.S. I just don't see/feel braile on many products. Respect!

I have skin allergies. I am allergic to a range of things like dispenser soap to flannel. When I come in contact a light flare up with mean my skin turns bright red. A major flare up and my skin looks like it has small whip marks. I got this on a recommendation and it has changed my life. For me it seems to work like a barrier and protect my skin. Gave some to my cousin who has the same allergies. Also, I have very dry hands that usually crack and bleed. This year they have been fine. I wear daily, all over, right out of the shower.

Product is genuine but not satisfactory

This product is awesome. My LO has been suffering from an extremely dry rash on his face and shoulders since he was 2 weeks old. At 6 weeks I began to consider maybe it was more than a heat rash. He skin was so dry and scaly. After only 4 days (1 application a day) he's skin has cleared up almost completely. His face is soft & bump free thanks to this product.

I read about this product from the internet and thought i would try. My husband has eczema on his hands and i have it occasionally, i had my husband try it on his hands and they were softer immediately. Love this product and will in the future purchase other products from this line.

I use this for the eczema/dry skin on my hands. I really do like the product and it makes my hands feel soft but it smells bad and even my boyfriend commented on how it stinks. Possibly I got one that’s expired..

As a child (30+ years ago), my mom would use this cream on my skin and I continued to have dry skin as an adult so I’m very happy that I found this on Amazon. It keeps my skin hydrated without feeling greasy. No more dry, flaky skin. Love it and will continue to order it.
