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

"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."
"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"
"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!"
"Great moisturiser and also an ingenious vacuum system for dispensing all the cream without any wastage or trying to scrape the last bit out!"
"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!"
"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"
"I got this, when I had problem with dry skin and this works well. It don’t really have a smell and consistency is like Vaseline, but works wonderfully. Definitely recommend for dry skin problems!"
"I used this on my son when he was little and myself for eczema flar ups, usually back of the knee, crook of the elbow etc. It's a thick cream that helps moisturise the area and relieve the dryness and itch. You can also use it as a soap but I have never suffered badly enough for that."
"Very thick and sticks to everything which makes it hard to spread, but very effective at treating dry skin conditions."
"This is absolutely Amazing for my dry skin works really well stops the iratation and leaves skin soft and gentle"
