I think aqueous cream has been around for longer than me, as I'm pretty sure I was prescribed it as a child. However I re-discovered it when (a few years ago) I developed an awful problem with the skin around my eyes and the GP prescribed Aqueous Cream, and sadly I found this stuff was not at all effective. First - this stuff burned my raw skin! Second - the moisturisation around my eyes was not effective, barely lasting a couple of hours (if I could bear to keep it on that long!). Thirdly - this stuff takes ages to sink into the skin, so it slides... a bad thing when it's around your eyes! It resulted in temporarily blurred ...  Read the complete review

Hello All ! I cannot praise aqueous cream enough .... Having got to the ripe old age of 37 and been pretty lucky with my skin despite not looking after it properly, I decided to invest in some 'premium' skincare products. The products I invested in (£54 !) were Clinique. I used the mild soap, the clarifying lotion (No 2) and the Dramatically Different Moisturiser. Whilst I understand that Clinique works wonders for some womens skin, the result on myself was the complete opposite. I gave the products a week to see if my skin would get used to it but no ... After hibernating in the house for 3 days in utter despair with a red, ...  Read the complete review

This is proof of the usefulness of the dooyoo community. Some time ago I wrote an opinion on a particular brand of hand cream, which my poor deluded husband continued to use in an ongoing battle against eczema. I criticised the product considerably and several dooyooers in their comments suggested that I try Mr Ophelia with various other creams, one of which was aqueous cream. As I trust my fellow community members I dashed off to the nearest pharmacist and purchased a tub. THE CREAM The cream is designed for relieving dry skin conditions, but is also extremely useful in moisturising horses? hooves! The cream contains a mixture of liquid paraffin, ...  Read the complete review

I suffer a lot with very dry skin, it is one of my horrid symptoms which comes with my thyroid condition. its not too bad coping with dead dry arms, legs and feet but when it comes to my face it is a real nuisance if I get a bad few days. After washing my face in the morning I have to use a moisturiser all over. I was tried the normal E45 first and then the more expensive creams but couldn't find anything that was kind to my skin and kept my face moist. Then I was at my doctors having a check up and I mentioned it to her and she wrote me out a prescription for some aqueous cream. The cream comes in a nice big tub which can last for ...  Read the complete review

A must for thirsty skin :) I came across this cream when my boyfriend was recommended it by a friend. My boyfriend suffers with really bad dry skin on his face so this is the reason he brought it. I myself don't suffer from dry skin but as all you ladies know we love to nick & try our mans stuff ;) I first used the cream after having a bath so my skin was nice & clean. I applied quite a thick layer of the cream to my face & neck. I always apply the cream to my chest area aswell as most people neglect this area. This area of the skin is quite thin so always take care of it as it will show signs of ageing earlier than you face & neck ...  Read the complete review
