I have used it in the past. The smell is not great but it is very hydrating. Cheap too.0

Its fine, does more or less the same thing as E45 and cheap.

I prefer doublebase, or dipro-base which I get on prescription for my two, as its more effective at combatting dry skin/eczema.0 -
Hi,
I use it. When my eczema flairs up I use it to wash with as well. Very cheap in Tesco

I use it, because E45 has lanolin in it (which i'm allergic to).
I have eczema, and it seems to help quite a lot.
