Easy to apply and nice and thick, a little goes a long way. It softens the skin very well, although I still itched mine a little. My skin feels and looks softer especially the dry patches of eczema on my feet, legs and arms I would recommend it for anyone looking for a good quality dry skin cream.

Having used the small tube I was sent, I am really impressed by this cream. I have very dry and itchy skin and have tried numerous products that don’t work. I would have given this a five star but would need to be using the product for a least a month to make sure it keeps working. However I will be buying this cream with my next shop, so I have lots of faith that it will continue working. It goes onto the skin easily and absorbs well, I even used on my face where my skin gets particularly dry and was delighted with the results. Anyone suffering from dry and itchy cream should definitely try this product.

Doesn’t really have any smell, not overly greasy just have to rub it in for a while. Offers short term relief of dry itchy skin, used on my eczema on my ankles and the cream worked fine when used over a few days. No stinging or side effects so would recommend for mild dry skin conditions.

A useful cream that did what it said on the bottle, helped to alleviate dry and itchy skin. Nice thick consistency and non scented so as not to clash with other products used and reduce the likelihood of sensitivity issues occurring. A worthwhile product that I will look into purchasing upon exhaustion of my current supply of skincare products.

I used this on my elbows as they get very dry. I noticed a difference in a few days. It went on fine, not too greasy and covered well. Great product.

The cream is quite light in texture and is very easily absorbed. It has a pleasant scent which is slightly sweet. It left the skin feeling silky rather than greasy which was a positive. However, I don't feel that it gave the level of long-term moisturisation that other eczema creams do but I guess that is the pay-off for having a lighter, less greasy cream. For sufferers of dry, itchy skin this would probably be a good choice (and if that was my case I'd probably have given it 5 stars); however, for more severe conditions a thicker emollient would probably be a better option.

I really like this cream, it spread good so I only had to use a little bit. It soothed the itching on my arm fast and lasts a long time. I would highly recommend this cream.

I tried the sample of Balneum on the skin around my nose after suffering a heavy cold which left me with dryer than usual skin on my face. I found that it soothed my skin and after only a couple of applications solved my dry skin issues entirely.

I have very dry skin which is itchy, after my shower, I used the cream on my skin and found relief, redness was reduced and my skin did not feel tight. To get relief like this is very good for me. I have been looking for a product which can do this, now the weather is colder.

The cream is a nice consistency and applies to the skin really well. I don't feel like there was too much of a greasy residue and it soaks in nicely. Has left skin feeling quite supple and soft.

This is a lovely, heavy-duty moisturiser, without leaving my face feeling greasy. Definitely suitable for sensitive skin, and for those who prefer scent-free moisturisers.

Jess (Oct 20) 4.0/5

First time trying this product and I have to say from the first application it left my skin feeling silky smooth. Easily applied and spreads just as easy, my skin didn't appear so dry and after a while, the redness from the dryness has slowly gone down. Great product.

The Balneum cream sample had a nice smooth, easy to apply texture - but not too thin and runny. It gave good even coverage. I felt that the effects were long-lasting on my fairly mild ( but irritating) eczema and dry skin, and left my skin feeling smooth and much less itchy.

I have never used Balneum before and I can honestly say that I was pleased to be sent a free sample.

It is fantastic, great consistency, perfect fragrance, very gentle and kind.  Ultimately it did the job it was intended for moisturising my dry skin but also relieving the frustrating and annoying itchy sensation I get.  I would definitely recommend it and I am also going to continue using it.
