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.

Boots Paracetamol & Codeine Caplets
by xxfoxyredxx
I suffer with terrible headaches/migraines and back pain and so I like to always have some sort of paracetamol type of product in my bathroom cupboard just in case.
I bought a large box of these which contains 32 of the caplets in it and cost me £2.49 which I didn't think was too bad a price as I was out at the time and really ... suffering with back pain and needed something to try help it immediately.
The Packaging:
The box is silver in colour and on the front of it we are clearly told what they are and who they are by and that we can only take these for 3 consecutive days and that they are Dual Action and Easy To Swallow and the amount of caplets in the box is stated then on the back of the box other information listed includes being told what they can be used for, dosage advice is given along with lots of warnings, the ingredients are listed and contact details for Boots are given then inside the box you get white plastic trays backed with silver foil on them and there is a leaflet in the box iving yet more information on the caplets.
The Caplets:
White in colour and long in shape, these are easy to take and these are suitable to take for for the short term treatment of acute moderate pains such as headaches, period pain, neuralgia, toothache and rheumatic pains. Children can take these from the age of 6 years old and clear dosage advice is given for this and for adults (like me!) you can take one or two of these every 4 hours with no more to be taken in a 24 hour period than 8 caplets and you really shouldn't use these for more than 3 days as they are addictive and if you can't get rid of a pain in 3 days yourself you should see a Doctor!
Each caplet contains Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate 8mg and Paracetamol in a dose of 500mg so strong in medication these are and since buying them I have taken these for several issues I have suffered with. I take these for bad migraines, period pains and back aches and I have to say that I have found these pretty useful. They are quick and effective at combating headaches and migraines and although I don't find them to completely eradicate back pain they do easily and very quickly get rid of period pains and cramps and the suchlike but then I have to be fair nothing really gets rid of my acute back pain but injections into my spine from the Doctor.
These are easy enough to take with a big glug of liquid and are pretty effective for most things and for that reason I do recommend them though I do recognise that these are more pricey than alot of tablets/caplets on the market.
Only available from Boots stores.
