Bulk buy Johnson's baby naturals

Two kids at home suffering from eczema and the only cream which work is Johnson'sSoothing Natural Cream. We need 3-4 bottles every week at it will cost £2.75/bottle. I am wondering whether I can buy this in bulk from somewhere to cut the cost

Thanks

    I'm afraid I really can't help with where to get Johnson's :(
    Have you considered using something more natural, though? For example, pure shea butter is supposed to be good for excema. Maybe check out the links given on the shea butter thread and get a little bit to try first (with the Johnson's for backup).

    Sorry I couldn't help with the original question!

    Hi

    Have you talked with your GP about this? I also have two children who suffer, and through trial and error have found various products that seem to help. Our GP now provides repeat prescriptions for these, so I do not have to pay. One of the products is Aveeno, and at £7 a tube it is out of my reach so this has been a blessing for us. I don't know if your GP can prescribe the Johnson's cream you refer to, but it is certainly worth asking.

    Thanks for this suggestion. We got prescription for aveeno and it looks as good as Naturals. We didn't get a prescription for Naturals. But got a "blank" prescriptions saying " Johnsons Naturals cannot be prescribed using Computer System" I didn't give this to pharmacy thinking this was just a communication from GP to us. But on second thought I am going to take this to pharmacy to see whether they can give this out.

    If it's particularly the Johnson's one you want, have you checked your local pound shop? I think I've seen it in my local.
