Boots Skin Therapy Aqueous Cream
by pal60
I use Aqueous cream because I have sometimes have very dry skin which becomes itchy if I don't use a cream to moisturise it when it is itching all day long and irritating me a little bit. I have bought this cream a few times because it works well indeed for my dry, itchy skin.
It comes housed in a really large tub, the cream ... is a white colour and fairly thick in consistency. It isn't a runny cream, is soft and smooth in texture. It has no smell to it.
I apply this cream all over my body where my skin is feeling the driest, just apply it like a body lotion cream and in exactly the same way. I apply more of the cream to the areas where my skin is feeling itchy and it stops the itching after a couple of minutes after I have applied it to the itchy areas. My itchy areas always tend to be on my forearms, and at the top of my legs. The cream just helps stop the itching really well indeed and just helps it feel more comfortable, less itchy and not so annoying it being itchy and also so that I don't scratch the areas more and then make it bleed from scratching it too much. My skin after one day of applying the cream both morning and night does stop itching completely.
It doesn't take long for it to soak into the skin, it only takes a few minutes or so before the white sheen which it creates when first applied to skin. Does soak into skin in a good amount of minutes and I can then just get dressed soon after applying it and carry on with my day or night.
The cream also moisturises dry skin too, my skin is soft and less dry after I use this cream. It can be used by adults and also for children who suffer with itchy or dry skin. Is also good for softening their skin and also moisturising it. Leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
The cream contains white soft paraffin liquid and also liquid paraffin, is a gentle cream which helps just soothe the skin and stop irritations and dryness, also any itching which you may suffer and need a cream to settle it down a little bit.
Is good for dry patches on the skin, my wife uses this cream as a body lotion when her skin is feeling extremely dry and when a normal body lotion doesn't moisturise the very dry patches on her body. We both really like this cream a lot. So it isn't just a cream for skin conditions, it is a cream that can also be used as just a body lotion if necessary.
It is cheap to buy, for a 500ml tub I paid just over £4, is worth this price and good value for money. The quality is really good too.
This tub size will last a good while used regularly on a daily basis if necessary and one all the family can use for skin conditions.
I will buy it again in the future.
I rate it 5 stars.

Cod Liver Oil
by micheal123
Cod Liver Oil is one of the best and most important food supplements available, it has been used for generations and even goes back as far as the Roman empire when it was given to soldiers to maintain there strength, my mum used to always go on about Cod Liver Oil and how it was really good for me but I was to young to appreciate the ... benefits of taking it back then.
Nowadays though I do realize how beneficial it is for us and it is now me who is going on about health to my daughter but luckily for me she seems to be taking a strong interest in her health after I explained how fruit and veg has vitamins in it and will help to stop her getting poorly which she hates, I think she is to young for supplements but when I believe she is old enough then Cod Liver Oil is first on my list to teach her about and have her take.
So what can be found in Cod Liver Oil? one of the most important fatty acids we need to take is Omega-3 and this is in Cod Liver Oil, also it contains EPA other wise known as eicosapentaenoic and DHA which full name is docosahexaenoic, these are all great for the body.
Vitamin A is something we don't get enough of these days with the current foods available to us and Cod Liver Oil is packed with it, it also contains Vitamin D and traces of vitamin K, there have been studies done suggesting that Cod Liver Oil may help to slow down and fight cancer, there is a lot of information about this available on the internet.
Cod Liver Oil is said to help repair damaged skin, and have a positive effect on our hearts,help hair, nails and skin and help our joints and any arthritis pains one may be suffering with, so now you see why my mum went on about it so much.
I buy my Cod Liver Oil in capsules and get the Seven Seas brand but you can also get it in liquid form if you do not like to swallow capsules but I can not really tell you how this tastes, there are many places you can buy it from from your local grocery shop such as Asda and Tesco to health shops and chemists it is not hard to find.
I usually purchase mine from Holland & Barrett where I get most of my health products as I think they are of good quality, and they usually cost me around 5 pounds for 120 capsules.
I have used Cod Liver Oil for many years now and feel it has had a massively positive effect in keeping me healthy, and since a shoulder injury a few years ago I have used it daily to help ease my pain, I would be at a loss without it and highly recommend it to all.

Boots Paracetamol Tablets
by sarahrichmond5
I often find that I need to buy paracetamol and spend quite a lot of money on them as I always need some in my bag. I had previously always bought branded products but due to the amount I was spending I thought id try a shop brand to see if they worked as well.
I chose Boots as they are a good and reputable company so assumed ... they would be one of the best. I use paracetamol mainly to relieve headaches or period pains. You can get these tablets in any boots store, even the smaller stores like the ones they have at train stations etc have them so they are very easily available. Each of the tablets contained 500mg of paracetamol and comes in the usual blister pack so they are easy to get out but if you have children they can't mistake them for sweets very easily.
I found these tablets very easy to use. I followed the instructions which were very easy to follow and understand. The pack is a good size so you can easily have them in your handbag all the time without them taking up too much space.
When I used them I just take them with a glass of water I found that they were very easy to swallow and I found that they worked quickly probably within 20mins of taking them my headache had started to reduce and go away gradually.
I also used them when I had flu and found them really good again especially at getting rid of aches and pains I would say they are as good as some of the well known brands but at a fraction of the price.
The best thing about them is the price they are really cheap you can get a pack of 16 for around 40p so you can buy a few packs and always have them with you at that price.
