 For many years, E45 has been a cream that both the children and us adults have used to treat dry, irritated and upset skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. It was only two weeks a go that my daughter came in from her usual school trip to the swimming baths and had a quite angry looking rash on her arm which caused her some aggravation. My daughter has never suffered with skin conditions such as eczema but the chlorine in the swimming baths and the fact that her body is changing due to hormone levels flared up a very sore looking rash which had to be dealt with sooner rather than later. We have always had an endless supply of E45 in our home , from the huge bottles to the small handy tubes that can be carried around in my hand bag and so I grabbed another tube when we were out at our local Superdrug to keep topped up and handed it to my daughter so she could have her own little handy tube to. Her very sore arm seemed to clear up within two days and she is now happy once again till Friday I suspect when she returns but least she will have her cream if it unfortunately happens again. Last week I received the new range and this time it was the E4 hand care line .  E45's new hand care range have three different products available and all have their own uses.
So as you can already guess by now this formula is perfect for those who have dry skin .  What do they have to say about their hand creams- Colder weather doesn’t have to mean dry hands and E45’s new range of moisturising hand creams provide a range of ways to help nourish and restore the dry skin, leaving your hands feeling soft, supple and beautiful.
I have two of the creams to share with you today .
Both creams are going to be used in our home , the Intense recovery will be forced onto my husband to works daily with his hands in chemicals working on vehicles day in and day out and so softening up those rough hands especially when the cold weather tends to make them worse is definitely something he is in need of . The other hand cream , Protect and Repair is my perfect nightly regime partner so I will be and have had for the past week , keep this on my bedside unit and have been using this routinely each night.  Repair and Protect - Cost- £3.99 What they say about the cream- Find the goodness of E45 lotions in this overnight hand cream.
Ingredients Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Niacinamide, Sodium Gluconate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-40 Stearate, Ceteareth-20, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Dimethylimidazolidinone Rice Starch, Ethylhexylglycerin, Helianthus Annus Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Polyquaternium-51 My thoughts- Just like any other E45 cream this, although specially for the hands , is perfect for overnight but also perfect for during the colder weathers due to its protection formula. This thick cream is almost like a protection barrier cream which I have to say is exactly what my daughter has been using it for this past two weeks due to an allergy she has developed during her school swimming lessons. Since using this she has not only gave her skin a lovely nourished look but it has been a fantastic barrier to stop the chlorine getting onto her skin and also reducing the rash which had appeared due to the chlorine allergy beforehand .   Intense recovery - Cost- £3.99 What they say about the cream- Find the goodness of E45 lotions in this overnight hand cream.
Ingredients- Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Dicetyl Phosphate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Prunus AmygdalusDulcis Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, BHT My thoughts- For me this is the thicker of the two creams and I only need a little of it to get a lovely soft coverage finish on my skin. The intense recovery really does leave your skin feeling the smoothest ever instantly and the light texture soothes the skin making it feel relieved of any tightness or dry snagging. This is the one I will be giving to my husband to so to soften his rough hard skinned hands as you can see how lovely it has has nourished my dry hands with only one use.   E45 creams can be bought from Boots.com but if you need to find out more about their products then please go over to the E45 website .
All in all , both of the creams impressed me but for me being a mum who has my hands in water most of the day , the repair and protect is the winner , not as thick as the intense recovery which is what I would normally go for but works fantastically on my very dry , thirsty skin . Have you given the new E45 hand creams a try yet, will you ? Let me know!
