What to know before buying
- Use on skin only, keep away from the eyes, and do not use if sensitive to any ingredient. Keep away from children. Product residue on clothing, bedding or dressings can increase fire risk, so avoid smoking and naked flames. Follow the pack leaflet and seek healthcare advice if the condition worsens or side effects occur.
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about age suitability: its details identify adults, while the product instructions say it is suitable from over 1 year. It also lists niacinamide as the active ingredient but separately names hyaluronic acid as a special ingredient, while the provided full ingredient list names nicotinamide and does not name hyaluronic acid. Check the selected pack's label and leaflet for the applicable age guidance and full formulation.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People seeking a sizeable emollient gel for dry skin associated with eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis.
- Buyers who prefer an unscented, steroid-free product and need regular application over larger skin areas.
Less suited to
- Anyone with known sensitivity to an ingredient, or anyone seeking a product explicitly confirmed as suitable for infants under 1 year.
- Buyers who need a confirmed formulation or age recommendation without checking the product packaging and leaflet.

Customer feedback describes the moisturiser as soothing and quick to absorb, and reports that some users find it helps with itching. Experiences are mixed on irritation, greasiness, skin appearance, shelf life and value, with reports of stinging and skin worsening alongside positive experiences. For frequent use across dry areas, absorption and feel may matter in day-to-day use, but individual skin reactions vary. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, while a smaller share of ratings are lower, so they do not establish how it will suit a particular person.
Positive themes
- Customers describe it as effective and soothing.
- Customers appreciate that it absorbs quickly.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback differs on whether it irritates or stings skin versus easing itching.
- Customers disagree about greasiness and value for money.
- Reports differ on shelf life and whether skin appearance improves or worsens.

The directions say to gently smooth it over and around dry or inflamed areas, in the direction of hair growth, three times daily or as often as required. Follow the leaflet supplied with the pack.
