    3-in-1 deep hydration

    Epaderm Ointment is an emollient which can be used in three different ways:

    • Direct to the skin
    • In the bath
    • As a skin cleanser

    Watch our quick video for top tips on how to use as well as the recommended amount to use depending on the area of the body.

    How to Use

    Direct to Skin

    Direct to Skin

    Epaderm Ointment provides a barrier to help soothe the skin. Emollients are not steroids so you can use as much as you need. It should be applied generously and frequently even when the skin has improved.

    Directions: apply Epaderm Ointment directly on the skin in the direction of hair growth. This will reduce the risk of blocking hair follicles.

    As a Substitute for Soap

    As a Substitute for Soap

    Using Epaderm as a skin cleaner helps ensure that dry skin can be properly washed without losing additional moisture, or having to deal with the problems that common soap additives might produce.

    Directions: scoop a small amount from the tub, lather under warm water and then use as a normal soap.

    Bath Additive

    Bath Additive

    Soaking the skin in an emollient for optimum rehydration is another key step of complete emollient therapy. When using Epaderm as a bath additive, care should be taken, as it will make the surface of the bath slippery.

    Directions: take 4g (about the size of a two pound coin) from the tub. Melt this in a tumbler of hot water, ensuring it has cooled sufficiently before adding to the bath. Do not apply hot water directly to the skin.

    How Much to Use

    A measure of Epaderm Ointment is around 4g - which is around the size of a £2 coin or a teaspoon full

    It is important to note that there is no limit to how much Epaderm you can use. The below is a guide and will vary based on body size and dryness of skin. We recommend to start with a smaller amount and build up to what is right for you and your skin.

    Face, Ears, Neck 1/2 - 1 measure twice a day

    Arms 1 - 2 measure twice a day

    Back 1 - 2 measure twice a day

    Torso 1 - 2 measure twice a day

    Legs 3 - 4 measure twice a day

    Hands 1/4 - 1/2 measure twice a day

    For children under ten years of age we would recommend half the above amounts

    Katie has had eczema for as long as she can remember.

    She said she was the kid who would run through fields, climb trees and splash in puddles but then break out in a red rash.

    Complete skin transformation

    "I have suffered with perioral dermatitis since mid covid 2021, it’s been a rough journey battling with my skin; using products from every brand under the sun. I picked up Epaderm at a pharmacy after I forgot my usual cream on a trip away from home; to be honest the only thing that made me pick it up was the fact it had mentioned being good for dry skin and that it was fairly costed. Since using Epaderm my skin has cleared completely and is the best it’s looked since pre covid. I notice a huge difference even on days when I don’t use the cream. I cannot begin to express how relieved I am knowing this product is so easily accessible, and fairly costed. I don’t usually write reviews but I feel more people should know about this! (Especially those suffering with PD) 5 stars!!!"

    — Sarah (5/5)

    The only product to cure skin damage caused by the

    "I was prescribed Epaderm ointment by my GP following on from an operation to insert a Pace maker which resulted in a skin rash. I later bought some cream to help clear up a couple of skin lesion on my scalp caused by sun damage. I had tried other treatments before but this was the only one to cure the problem. I have suffered from this damage on my ears as well, caused from skiing when in the UK Forces."

    — Jamnes T. (5/5)

    Better than any post-shave balm

    "Been using Epaderm ointment for over a decade. I use it on my face after shaving and showering. Only needs a tiny amount. Without it, my face skin feels dry and itchy."

    — Dan (5/5)

    Bset ever solution

    "I am bald and over the years developed tough skin on my scalp which is annoying. I have tried dozens of supposed remedies but non have had any affect. At last I bought Epaderm and the results are fantastic. Compared with so called creans which are dedicated to bald scalps this is a superb product and more than half the price."

    — alan p. (5/5)

    Holy grail

    "I found this cream when searching endlessly on TikTok on how to ease eczema and seborrheic dermatitis. I had an awful flare up on my neck, I didn’t want to use my prescribed steroid cream. Thankfully I came across this cream. After a warm shower I’d put this cream onto the affected areas, a nice thick layer without rubbing it is. Within 2 days it started to notice a massive difference, it started to clear. Within a week you wouldn’t have known I had a skin issue. Top tip, a thick layer on top of the skin after a shower. Do not rub in, but let your skin absorb the cream. Use the cream a few times a day. Avoid hot water. Good luck everyone"

    Reduced redness significantly in two days

    "Had a bad flare up of eczema on my face/around my eye for about a month, I would wake up several times in the night due to itchiness. Tried so many different creams to try reduce the redness of my eczema and nothing seemed to work long term. Went to a pharmacist as trying to stay away from using steroid creams (especially around my eye) and they gave me the Epaderm ointment. In just two days the redness had gone down significantly and the itching had pretty much stopped and I was able to get a full nights sleep. Don’t usually write reviews but this ointment has made such a big difference in such a small amount of time. Could not recommend more!"

    — Pete (5/5)

    Great moisturiser and no waste!

    "Great moisturiser and also an ingenious vacuum system for dispensing all the cream without any wastage or trying to scrape the last bit out!"

    — Sue (5/5)

    Works wonders

    "This cream works wonders. I use it for so much, I suffer with really dry skin on my face during the winter and it has stopped it completely I now use it as an everyday moisturiser. I also had really bad athletes foot and nothing was working. I used this to fry and give them some moisture and within a couple uses my feet were 100 times better. Really is a miracle cream. Will always buy this!"

    — Katie (5/5)

    Good ointment

    "Very good ointment for dry skin. Works lovely on my baby girl that suffers with eczema and dry skin. Hydrates the skin very well . We apply it few times a day. Totally recommend this if you suffer with dry skin as it will give you some relief from itchiness"

    — Tatyiana (5/5)

    Great for eczema

    "This is one of the few products that didn't irritate my son's sensitive skin - He said that any other moisturisers were stingy. This is a very thick waxy ointment, better suited to night time use, but can be used at any time."
