Hydromol Ointment, for The Management of Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis and Other Dry Skin Conditions, Day and Night Treatment, suitable for sensitive skin, non-steroidal, SLS Free, for all ages, 500 g

Very pleased with this one. It only contains Cetomacrogol emulsifying wax (contains cetostearyl alcohol and macrogol cetostearyl ether), yellow soft paraffin and liquid paraffin. I.e. no perfume, detergents, preservatives etc.The texture is a couple of steps away from pure petrolium jelly. It is thick but soft. Spreads well. Covers well.It's a shame that the ones with added water necessarily have to have preservatives in them because they are nice to use too.I find this one soothing and it doesn't sting me on application.You need to use a clean teaspoon or spatula to take from out of the pot to avoid contamination.I wear cotton and change twice a day, and hot wash to make sure there is no build up on the clothing.2025/04/25 - Thanks very much for the back photographs which prompted me to try this ointment. My face with what looked like lumpy spots under the skin cleared up quickly and I am putting it down (I could be wrong) to the ointment not having preservatives (and I know I have had problems with preservatives before).

With the GP cutbacks for some time now I can no longer get this on prescription, they had replaced it with a product from the Poundland range (awful stuff). I have extensive scarring from an operation that went horribly wrong and needs a good quality cream daily.I now purchase Hydromol myself and it is quite expensive, you can buy two Cetraben for the price of one Hydromol but it is well worth it, it's quality and certainly recommend this cream

Quick delivery and a great value size tub of cream. Glad I bought this

This worked for my ailment, can’t say it will work for you but worked for me

Dose what it says

Love it

Great product

The opening is way too large and so much comes out as it is liquidy like water. I have had to decant it into a pump bottle.
