I
have sensitive very dry skin and this ointment works beautifully for
me. No fancy packaging or scent, but the cream really soothes my skin
contact rashes as well as my very dry hands. I use acrylic paint and
mediums for my artwork, working sometimes with my bare hands, so this
cream has helped me to counteract the dryness I get as a result. Once
the ointment penetrates the skin there is no residue. However, until it
does, it is a bit 'oily' if that can be said, and it takes a few minutes
for the product to be fully absorbed; something that, on the other
side, I expect from any ointment.
The only think I dislike is
that the package does not have a list of ingredients on the jar.
Coloidal oat is mentioned but, is this the only ingredient? The main
ingredient? One of the ingredients? Why not having this fully
displayed? I own other Dermaveen skin products and they have the list
of ingredients on the back of the package, so I don't know why this
cream does not.
It is not tested on animals, something that really matters to me.
Good value for money.
I will buy again.
I don't have children, but I came to know this product when preparing an emergency kit for a long trip last year, just because the mini-tube size was perfect, and it was just 2 bucks. It turned out that I got a rash while travelling and I used it, and I was very pleased with the results. At my return, I bought a big jar, which I still have at home. I have used Sudocream for minor burns in the kitchen, sunburn areas when I forgot to apply sun-block in summer, heat rashes of various nature or skin irritation of different sorts.
The cream is actually an ointment, very thick and emollient, so it soothes and heals fast, and it is one of my top products for dermatitis.
However, this is not a glamourous cream. The smell is OK. Zinc being the main ingredient, you have to be careful when you apply it, as it can stain your clothes. Great to apply at home, before going to sleep or when wearing your fav daggy clothing.
A great product overall that does the job and is good priced.
