Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Cream

Balneum cream has been specially formulated to hydrate and soothe dry and itchy skin.

Balneum is an easily absorbed cream that’s been especially formulated to hydrate and soothe dry, itchy skin – thanks to its specific combination of active ingredients ; 5% urea and 3% Laureth-6.5. Urea helps to combat dry skin by removing any dead skin as well as attracting and holding water in the skin to aid hydration. Laureth-6.5 helps to relieve the itch of dry skin.

This cream was easy to apply and has a comfortable texture. It wasn't too runny or too thick which I enjoyed. I used it on the areas of my face where the dry skin was the worst. I have had mild improvement after a few weeks of daily use. I would recommend it for anyone suffering from mild symptoms.

I found Balneum just as good as other moisturising creams but no better. It moisturises the skin and helps to stop itching and it soaks into the skin quickly.

A bit too watery for me. It did soothe the itch but its not very easy to apply as too watery.

It was ok but not great. I used this cream on my feet as these are extremely dry. The cream did exactly what most creams do, it seemed to work in the first 3 days but on day 5 it was back to dry skin. So will not be using this again.

Moisture-rich hand cream, it absorbs quickly into the skin but leaves a slight residue, this, however, does disappear after a while. I have particularly sensitive hands which at the moment are being exacerbated by the hand gels and additional washing I have to do at work, I used the cream on shift and it did help to keep them from getting too sore. I will look to purchase this.

It’s quite a nice cream. Fairly light; goes on nicely then takes a few minutes to soak in fully. Three stars are because I prefer products without glycol & paraffin. It would be better with some essential oils in it as it doesn’t have any odour.

Great product! I always struggle with dry & itchy skin & I have seen an improvement already & less mess & greasy than other products I’ve tried. I would recommend others to give it a try.

A good absorbent cream which helps with dry skin.  Also a good base before putting on makeup.  Will buy again.

Good thick creamy cream - works wonderfully on my dry elbows and husband using it on his feet.  Makes them soft.

I suffer from very dry skin on my hands which often gets really sore. Using lots of sanitiser recently has only made things worse! After trying this for a few days, my hands didn't itch, and I noticed an improvement in my skin - the dry patches actually seemed to be clearing up a bit! I will need to use it for longer to see the full benefits, but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far.

Was okay for my dry skin I was really impressed.

The cream had a nice texture although I prefer thicker creams. It took a wee bit of the itch away but I was hoping for more relief from the itch. I find the itch unbearable sometimes that is why I found it not strong enough for someone with mild itch it could be ok. On the plus side, I already had this cream at home and loved the pump dispenser. It has a slight smell which is not unpleasant. I think you would go through quite a lot of cream and could work out to be pricey.

Balneum is a very effective cream for dry and itchy skin. It is smooth and works very well with a few rub on the affected skin.
