E45

E45 is widely used to relieve the dry, itchy skin of eczema, as its emollient formula helps moisturise and soothe. It manages the symptoms rather than curing eczema, so for severe or worsening flare-ups, or if it is not helping, speak to your pharmacist or GP.

E45 cream can be used on the face to moisturise dry skin, keeping it away from the eyes. If your skin is oily or prone to spots a lighter facial moisturiser may suit better, and it is worth patch testing first if your skin is sensitive.

E45 cream is an emollient used to relieve and moisturise dry, flaky, rough or itchy skin, including conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. It works by softening and hydrating the skin.

Some people use a plain, fragrance-free moisturiser like E45 to stop a fully healed tattoo drying out, but it is not a dedicated tattoo aftercare product. For a new or healing tattoo, follow the aftercare advice from your tattoo artist.

E45 is made for human skin, and you should not put it on a dog without asking your vet first, as pets may lick it off. If your dog has dry or itchy skin, your vet can recommend something safe and suitable.

E45 can help soothe and rehydrate the dry, tight skin that follows mild sunburn. For anything more than mild sunburn - blistering, a large area, or feeling unwell - cool the skin and seek advice from a pharmacist or GP.

Yes, E45 is an emollient, meaning it moisturises and softens the skin to relieve dryness and itching. Emollients like E45 are a mainstay of managing dry skin conditions such as eczema.
