Packaged well, my youngest loves the little hippo on the pot. Cute hippo design, sturdy and easy to use, instructions are very easy to understand, and the pump dispenses easily. Very easy to apply, a little bit went along way. It absorbed into their skin very quickly, with no greasy residue. All 3 of my children suffer with dry skin and skin conditions and this worked really well. I also used this on my son and my middle daughter as they have small patches of eczema on their body. I also used this with my eldest who has Keratosis pilaris on the tops of her arms and thighs. I used this cream every day. Mainly used this for dry skin caused by eczema and Keratosis pilaris. I saw an improvement within a week from the start of using the cream. This is certainly a cream that is suitable for all ages as it is mild non greasy and doesn’t smell unpleasant. Childrens skin is more likely to be more sensitive than adults; I prefer to use products that are free from colours, fragrance and SLS to prevent any reactions occurring. To me Childrens skincare is important and it is best not to put any harsh chemical filled creams on their skin and to be recommended by doctor shows to me that it will be suitable to use on their skin. Very good quality, it has a good consistency, it’s not too thick or runny. Very good value, a little bit goes a long way so it will last a while. I loved the fantastic results on my children in a short period of time, it has made such a difference to their skin, I like how it absorbs quickly into their skin and they can be dresses straight away. I will definitely be buying again as it is an amazing cream. I would recommend as it is such a good cream with quick results and it’s not too expensive either. Amazing product, easy to use, apply fantastic results and smells lovely too. I found the cream so easy to use, my children didn’t mind having it applied, smells lovely, fantastic results, it’s not greasy easily absorbed.

The product was well packaged. Came in a handy circular tube with pump action. Although it’s single use plastic, the design of the pot has been well thought out. The cream is in a circular tube with pump action. One downside is you can’t see how much cream you have left. Although relatively easy to apply, sometimes too much cream was dispensed but always found good use for it. The texture of the cream itself is quite thick. Initially when applied, the skin looks shiny, but within ten minutes it is absorbed into the skin. This cream came at the perfect time as my newborn was suffering from baby acne and his skin felt very dry so I used it solely for this purpose. Within 72 hours I saw a difference and has left the skin on his face feeling soft. Although I didn’t use the cream to treat eczema or psoriasis, I did use it on some dry patches my 3year. Again, within 72 hours I noticed a huge difference. Used it on some dry patches on my daughter’s legs. I use the cream at every nappy change on my son, just to keep his skin nice and soft. I mainly used this to deal with baby acne. I visibly saw results within 72 hours. This cream is gentle enough for newborn and all the family. I started using this on my 4week old baby. It is very important to me products I use do not have parabens or sulphates in them. Children especially babies have such sensitive skin and so many products have parabens and sulphates in them it’s nice to have something on the market that is chemical free. It’s nice to know that it has been recommended by doctors, gives you that extra piece of mind. The only reason it’s dropped some points is because it initially looks greasy when applied to the skin. I have been using the product every day for the last 4 weeks and I still have a lot left. So your money does go a long way. I was impressed how it treated the baby acne, visible results within 72 hours! I would buy this as it does exactly what is says on the tin. I would recommend as this cream treats skin conditions and also because it is free from parabens. Epaderm is thick and creamy and applies well to all parts of the body. Although cane be used as an emollient in the bath, I didn’t have a reason to so cannot comment on how that would work. Overall a pleasant product to use and one that will always be ‘in stock’ at home. Aarifa Patel Aaminah & Umar 3 Years & 9 Weeks

The product is visually appealing and has child friendly illustrations on the label. I really like the design of the pot/pump; it is easy to use and really smooth to pump the cream on to the hand. The pump is low and wide without a big gap between the bottle such as conventional pumps. This made it easy to use with creamy hands and also meant that there was less build-up is cream left on the pump which would usually go to waste. Very easy to apply to my children’s skin and went on really smoothly. Absorbed well into the skin and I didn’t have to rub it in too much. This was really useful during the chaos of bath and bed time! My children don’t have dry skin; however the cream was really gentle, especially if they had any sore skin on their bottom or under neck chaffing. I used it on the dry skin on my hands and it worked very well. No we haven’t used the cream for eczema or psoriasis. I did use this for mild nappy rash. We used this every night for a couple of weeks. I would mainly use this after bath time as a moisturiser. When used for mild nappy rash I saw an improvement within 24 hours or by the next morning. This is certainly ideal for all ages as it was really gentle on my baby’s skin. I am pleased that it did not contain colouring, SLS because I feel that this means there is nothing ‘extra’ that could irritate my children’s skin. However, the cream does smell slightly medicinal because of the lack of fragrance. Knowing that it has been medically approved is very reassuring and also important to me. Very happy with the quality of the product. It’s smooth, easy to apply and effective. I think it is fairly good value for money as there’s a lot of cream in the pump; however I would only spend this much on cream if my child had a skin condition. I wouldn’t spend that much on a daily moisturiser. I really liked the easy to use pump and bottle and the feel of the cream. I would consider buying this product if my children had s skin condition. I would definitely recommend this product to family and friends if they had a skin condition or wanted a gentle and easy to use moisturiser. I really liked the cream and the pump. The only downside was the medicinal smell. I was happy using this product because it was very gentle on my children’s skin. My toddler loved the picture on the label and I liked using the pump. It would be good if it smelt slightly less medicinal. Emily Kirby – Orla & Remy 2 years and 4 Months
