Savlon is something that I think everyone should have to hand in their home as it's just so versatile. I use it on little scratches or grazes, also spots or minor burns, even gnat bites in the summer. Savlon cream is an antiseptic that gently soothes and aids healing as well as helping to prevent infection, it's a thick, white cream that is easy to apply, you simply dab it on to the affected area and leave it to soak in; alternatively you can rub it into the skin.

I find that it soaks into the skin relatively quickly and doesn't sting like some creams can do, it also noticeably lessens redness and if I apply it several times a day it even speeds up the healing process. The cream has a slight odour to it that smells clean and fresh, it's not chemically at all and certainly isn't an offensive smell.

The product comes in a tube with a lid that screws on and off and the tube comes in a cardboard box upon purchasing. The colours used are mainly blue and white and the overall look is simple with the writing being easy to read. It's certainly not expensive to buy and can generally be bought for under £2.00 in a variety of shops, a tube will last quite a while and can be used by the whole family as it is so gentle and kind to skin.

It should be used for minor skin problems and it's recommended that if symptoms persist or if you experience any unwanted side effects to consult your doctor.
