Dear All,

I have many Skin Creams/ Lotions/ Emollient but have recently started to use Savlon..... Marvellous! I can't 'say' for How Long, of course, but YIPPEE for the time being. I have another 'newer cream' Adex Gel, which my 'Dermy'. gave me- quite effective too. I don't know about anyone else but these 'Alcohol Gels' don't do, my skin, any favours! I WON'T stop using them though, far better 'Safe', albeit with sore hands......😒

I'm sure that Mum, Grandma or 'Jessy Next Door' have some Savlon 'Knocking About'..... if not you will have to Buy some😊. Ether way Great news

Well, that's amazing! Inexpensive and widely available too.

Brilliant news and finger's crossed it works for a lot longer than you think, strange how with all the newer cream's and lotions that it's often the case that one of the old one's can do the job. I can't use the Alcohol based stuff as it dries my skin even more than normal and it's itchy and prickles like crazy at the best of times. I'm still waiting for the dermatologist to come up with something to get rid of my ever present rash, 6 years and still there. Good luck with your skin.X

No Savlon, well curtainly the one I buy, Is an Antiseptic that comes on a plastic tube. Whether there is a version, that can be aded to bath water, I honestly don't know. Do speak to your Local Pharmacist, sorry that I can't be more help.
