Having developed a rash on my arms, I was advised by my Doctor to use this cream to ensure that my arms were kept moisturised. This gel is used for the "management of dry or chapped skin conditions which may also be itchy or inflamed" - which sounded like just what I needed. It is also renowned for being good for people suffering with eczema. You can get this in various sized containers - mine's a 500g pump action bottle, which comes encased in a purple box.

Doublebase cream/gel is a fragrance-free emollient for dry, chapped and irritated skin conditions - such as dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.

I found that storing it in the fridge kept it nice and cold to soothe my inflamed skin. However, the relief would not last more than a few minutes and I ...  Read the complete review
