E45 is a moisturising cream that is used for dry skin conditions such as:
The cream is free from perfume, dermatologically tested and suitable for people with sensitive skin. E45 cream can be used by the whole family.
Moisturisers like E45 are beneficial for all types of dry skin, especially eczema, which worsens when the skin is left to dry out.
E45 is available as a cream or a lotion. Those with dry skin typically prefer creams, while lotions are more suitable for people with oily skin.
If you are unsure which formulation is best for you, speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist.
E45 moisturising cream is readily available from pharmacies, supermarkets, and reputable online suppliers, such as Prescription Doctor.
Our pharmacy stocks a select range of popular treatments for eczema, dermatitis, and other skin conditions. Every item is dispatched from our UK pharmacy, based in the north of England, in discreet packaging to ensure your privacy.
When used daily, E45 Cream helps restore the skin’s smoothness, suppleness, and flexibility by supporting the skin's ability to retain moisture. This decreases the appearance of redness and scaling, while reducing the itching sensation associated with common skin conditions.
E45 Cream contains light liquid paraffin, white soft paraffin, and anhydrous lanolin (which comes from sheep’s wool).
These three ingredients form a protective layer on the outermost layer of skin. They prevent water from evaporating away from the skin, allowing the skin to remain hydrated.
Always follow the instructions provided by your doctor, pharmacist, or the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine.
Apply E45 Cream or Lotion to the affected regions of skin 2 or 3 times a day.
Before you can use the pump, unlock it by twisting the pump, and then press it a few times until a consistent amount of E45 Cream is dispensed.
Avoid rubbing the cream in vigorously as this can irritate the skin.
Even when the skin has healed from diseases like eczema, applying a moisturiser daily can help to prevent flare-ups.
If your skin does not improve or worsens after using E45 Cream, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist.
Before you use E45 Cream, read the patient information leaflet enclosed with the treatment. This leaflet provides instructions on how to use, store, and dispose of E45 Cream safely, as well as important safety information about the product.

It is best to wait at least 30 minutes after applying E45 cream before using any other moisturising cream or lotion.
