Oilatum Reviews

Oilatum Bath Formula Before I became a Mum I never heard of Oilatum before as I never needed it. That was until my daughter arrived with her eczema. She had it quite bad as a baby and it was all over her chest area, big, red, dry nasty looking patches that she scratched all the time. I tried all creams down to the wonderful E45! And ...  Read the complete review

Oilatum make a range of bath and body products for 'problem skin' I bought this for my winter skin! For the first time in my life I have eczema, on the backs of my knees, my upper arms and my poor chest :( * I would like to point out i'm not a scaly monster, my boyfriend reckons he can't even see my dry horrible skin, maybe I am ...  Read the complete review

I first used Oilatum junior cream for eczema when I received a free sample of it from my Health visitor. My poor little boy has suffered with eczema since he was about 6 weeks old. Most of the time his skin is quite clear but every once in a while the eczema will flare up and look slightly red and aggravated. It is at times like these when I ...  Read the complete review

Christopher, my 3 year old son, gets terrible eczema, some times it just affects his legs but on other occasions his whole body is coated in it making his skin feel like sandpaper. Over the years we have been given many different suggestions and treatments for his condition which include Oilatum. Oilatum is a liquid treatment that is ...  Read the complete review

A doctor prescribed Oilatum for my Eczema Scrotum (itchy pink patches, dries out & gets scaly) along with using almond oil moisturizing soaps. It worked very well for like 2 weeks, felt good, less itch, those pink patches lightened a lot. Now we know that Eczema has a "moody" symptom, so the thing came back like it gained some sort ...  Read the complete review

At 3 months my little boy was suffering from a bad case of dry skin exzema. It appeared to be a bad case of nappy rash (almost like paper cuts on his bottom) and a raised bumpy dry rash on his knees and elbows. Worried about the pain he was suffering I took him to the GP who diagnosed him with exzema and gave him a prescription for Oilatum bath ...  Read the complete review

First review in ages! Lets hope I’ve still got the knack of it! Anyway here goes….. I first heard about this cream from a freebie website which was advertising the fact that they were giving away free samples of this cream. Anyway I followed the link http://www.oilatum.co.uk/offers/onr.asp and requested a sample. Admittedly it took ...  Read the complete review

As I am a bloke, I don't like using five different creams for various parts of the body. Sure I use the odd hand cream and face cream, but I'm not fussy for brands. But last year I fell upon a great alternative for these creams, Oilatum. What Is It? ***************************************************** Oilatum is a ...  Read the complete review

Eczema is a nightmare, especially on small babies who like to scratch and can't be reasoned with. I spent months trying all sorts of things to help my unhappy baby, and then found this (thanks to my dad). Oilatum exists in adult and child form - I've been using the child version. The adult stuff is probably stronger, but I would ...  Read the complete review

I don’t suffer from serious scalp problems, but now and again I do sometimes get an itchy flaky scalp. I always use Pantene as my main shampoo, but now and again I do have a change. Perhaps that is why sometimes I get an itchy flaky scalp. Who knows. I was telling my friend about my problem and he suggested I try Oilatum. ...  Read the complete review

I came back from the doctors yesterday with a precription for oilatum plus for the bath, as I have very itchy flaky skin, which the doctor said is mild eczema. The bottle was a 500ml bottle and a prescription charge is about £6. A 300ml bottle would coust you about £8.50 so you are better off going to the doctors. This product is only ...  Read the complete review

I heard about Oilatum and I thought I would visit their website because my one year old daughter suffers from excema occasionally. Lo and behold, they were giving out free samples! I recieved mine in the post a few days later, and tried it on her. It works beatifully. Not only was her skin silky smooth after just a short time, it went on ...  Read the complete review

My son occasionally gets wind-chap on his face and we had tried all sorts of so-called baby moisturisers which just seemed to make his face redder and redder! We took a trip to a very large branch of Boots to see if they had anything suitable and found the Oilatum range which specifies it is suitable for sensitive skins and also ...  Read the complete review

My daughter was diagnosed with baby eczema at 2 weeks old and was prescribed Emulsifying Ointment, however it made no difference, so my mum advised me to try Oilatum Junior. Ellis was still at the age when dry, itchy skin is not too much of a problem, but I wanted to sort out her problem skin before she was old enough to start scratching. ...  Read the complete review

I was prescribed Oilatum by my doctor for my eczema and it is excellent. I don't think that it is only for people with eczema, if your skin is very dry and you've tried everything from expensive creams and lotions then you should give this a try. You can buy it from chemists and Boots. What you do is you pour a few capfuls into a ...  Read the complete review

My daughter has very dry skin on her arms and legs. It's not eczema, but very dry and itchy. I had tried lots of different baby mositurising creams, but found that none of them were strong enough for her. Then I tried the Oilatum bath, and found it brilliant. It improved the condition of her skin after only one bath, and she was a lot happy. ...  Read the complete review

If you have a baby or young child with eczema then Oilatum is brilliant, a couple of capfuls in a bath and let them soak and relax. Make sure you keep it out of their hair as it is what it says oily, and don't leave them unattended as the bath surface is really slippery. But that aside it's brilliant a couple of times a week, dab ...  Read the complete review

Oilatum is excellent and comes in two strengths. My son was moved from Oilatum to Oilatum Plus which is excellent for kids with eczema or dry skin problems. Apart from it being and additive to a child's bath, it has an antiseptic agent and also a cleansing effect so soap is not needed at all! Only two to three caps are needed per ...  Read the complete review

Oilatum, is an additive for your childs bath, for children with eczema or dry skin problems. It is very oily in the water and thus makes it slippery so do not leave your child unsupervised, i would also advise keeping it off their hair too. But other than that its brilliant, they can just soak in it, it eases off the discomfort and itching ...  Read the complete review

When my daughter was a few weeks old she developed a rash and dry patches on her skin, especially behind her ears. I took her to the doctor who said it was "baby eczema" and prescribed Oilatum emollient bath oil, and Oilatum cream. Instead of using normal baby bath, I put a couple of drops of the Oilatum Bath oil into the ...  Read the complete review
