Diprobase Cream

DiproBase emollient cream has to be THE moisturiser. Although little known to people it is excellent value for money compared to some of the flashy advertised brands you get on TV with sports stars prancing about and in my opinion does a far better job. --- Housing, quantity and labelling --- I buy DiproBase in a large quantity and therefore go for the large 500g bottle (about 30cm in height). The bottle is made of a very simple white plastic with a pump action top. The top is excellent as when you are moisturising with slippery hands the last thing you want to be doing is fiddling around with a screw cap, so 5/5 for the easy application ...  Read the complete review

I have suffered with eczema since childhood and I have found it very difficult over the years to find an effective moisturiser to alleviate my often very dry, chapped, sore and itchy skin. However, since being prescribed Diprobase a couple of years ago I have seen great improvements in the feel and condition of my skin. Dipbrobase is an emollient which helps keep the skin hydrated by locking in moisture. It contains cholorocerserol, cetomacrogol, cetostearyl alcohol, liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin, phosphoric acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and purified water. There are surprisingly very few ingredients in this product and none of which irritate my ...  Read the complete review

My 7 year old daughter has suffered with eczema since she was 6 weeks old, her's is the type that will not go away, it is inherited from her father. Basically she suffers with extremely dry skin that flares up into horrible bright red patches that sometimes bleed or even become infected. She gets very itchy if she is too warm, ill, or a bit run down. To try and avoid her skin from breaking out in sore patches she has a daily regime of moisturising. The main part of this regime involves being covered from head to toe every morning and night with a very greasy moisturiser or emollient, in this case we use Diprobase. We have tried various products over the years but always ...  Read the complete review

In Jan-2008 I came out in this awful rash (well I thought it was awful) that consisted of red raised oval-shaped bumps (welts). They were itchy but only if I was hot and they covered my legs, arms and torso. Thank god it was winter as I hid in my polo necks to hide the condition. After a visit to the doctor, it was diagnosed as the dry skin eczema. I was not convinced that eczema could occur for no apparent reason especially without any prior history and not to mention that I always rigorously moisturise my skin. So I checked this out on the internet. Very briefly, my learning of eczema is that it is a term for pretty much any dry skin ...  Read the complete review

Ever since my eldest son was a baby he has had really dry skin and at first the health visitor said that it was just because he was 10 days overdue when he was born. However when he was about two years old he was diagnosed with eczema. By this stage his skin was quite red and blotchy in some places. Apparently eczema can be quite common in young children. When the doctor diagnosed him with eczema he prescribed him two products; Oilatum bath emollient and Diprobase cream. I get it free on prescription so I am unsure of the cost but I think you can expect to pay about £2.50 for a 50g tub. I get it in a 500g tub but this does last ages. Diprobase ...  Read the complete review
