Can I make a little note afterwards, I have found dd's excema to be no better or worse after using this cream, she did however scream a lot when I put it on and said it stings, although all her emollients have this effect to some degree.

HAve been using it on myself mainly but also been putting it on my DD who has a couple of patches of excema. I have severe psoriosis and dermatitis and am convered in horrid scaly skin that is sore and itchy. Have been precribed FUCIBET which i have been using for 3 months now as well as DERMOL cream.

1. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?

Very Easy to apply, the worst part of me is my feet which are scaly and sore but i have been using DEXERYL and applying thickly and then wearing socks and have had no problems. When i apply thiscker cream such as E45 etc the cream marks my socks but DEXERYL doesnt!

1. Did you find DEXERYL® cream was quickly absorbed?

o YES, Easily absorbed and was surprised that i could still feel the cream hours later although i couldnt see it!

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?

o Non greasy, did not leave any marks on my socks or clothes!

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?

oCurrently i have stopped using FUCIBET and also DERMOL and am using DEXERYL as i am finding that the effects of DEXERYL are lasting alot longer...am less itchy and less red!

1. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?

o VERY GOOD, am very impressed so far!

1. Based on your experience of using DEXERYL® cream, do you think you would use it again?

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?

in between non-greasy and greasy!

1. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?

great for dd, and good for dh, and ds

[Hangingbellyofbabylon]

1. Please can you state who used DEXERYL® in your family?

o 10 week old baby daughter who had eczema from 2 weeks old.

1. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?

o Very easy, seemed thin at first but in fact this meant that a little goes a very long way and it's easy to apply all over.

1. Did you find DEXERYL® cream was quickly absorbed?

o Yes, amazingly so. My baby had eczema patches all over, even on her head and other creams left her little fluffy hair all greasy and horrible. Dexeryl sorted out her sore skin but didn't make her hair greasy.

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?

o Non-greasy.

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?

Incredible, so far we have tried Cetraben, Doublebase and Aqueous cream. None of these made any difference to dd and her skin was red and weeping in places. Her little chest was like sand-paper. Her skin was visably better after one day of Dexeryl and now after using it for a week her skin is completely healed - soft and velvetty like a baby should be!

1. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?

o Very good.

1. Based on your experience of using DEXERYL® cream, do you think you would use it again?

o Yes, will be asking GP to prescribe it but if they won't I will buy it as I believe it represents very good value for money.

1. Would you recommend DEXERYL® cream to someone else?

o Yes, already have recommended to several friends.

Thank you for the sample.

[SofaQueen]

1. Please can you state who used DEXERYL® in your family?

o I have used the cream on my 21 month old son and my 5 year old son.

1. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?

o The cream is very easy to apply, however, I would prefer a pump as it is a bit cumbersome trying to handle a squirmy toddler and trying to take the top off the tube.

1. Did you find DEXERYL® cream was quickly absorbed?

o Yes, it has a nice silky texture and is quickly absorbed.

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?

o Non-greasy and light

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?

o Better. My other creams are thicker, stickier, and don't absorb as quickly.

1. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?

o Very good. I really like the cream.

1. Based on your experience of using DEXERYL® cream, do you think you would use it again?

o a little bit greasy as it goes on, but is absorbed quickly

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?

o I found Ds's skin goes a bit red when it first goes on, but the long lasting softness of his skin is amazing, not had that with anything else. It doesn't sting as it goes on, as the first time we used it, he said 'More' and stuck his leg in the air for it!...

5 year old DS, and myself

Myself and Child age 22 months

1. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?

Very easy to apply

1. Did you find DEXERYL® cream was quickly absorbed?

I thought it took a whle to sink in but left no residue or greasy feeling ultimately.

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?

Non-greasy

1. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?

Much better. It worked and my usual one, though the best of all I've tried, doesn't work.

1. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?

I was very surprised. I haven't been impressed by emollient creams as a treatment but this did seem to stop flare ups breaking out and hence the need for hydro-cortisone or steroid creams.

1. Based on your experience of using DEXERYL® cream, do you think you would use it again?

Definitely.

1. Would you recommend DEXERYL® cream to someone else?

Definitely.
