E45 Itch Relief Cream – 500g

E45 Itch Relief Cream is a soothing, non-greasy topical cream used to relieve itching and discomfort associated with dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and other skin irritations. It is suitable for adults and children aged 3 years and over.

How It Works

E45 Itch Relief Cream contains lauromacrogols, an active ingredient that works by calming the nerve endings in the skin responsible for causing the sensation of itch. It also helps to moisturise and soothe the skin, reducing dryness and discomfort in the affected area.

Directions for Use

Apply a thin layer of cream directly to the affected area of skin and rub in gently. It can be applied as often as needed, up to 3–4 times daily, or as directed by your doctor. This cream is suitable for adults and children aged 3 years and over; do not use on children under 3 years of age unless advised by a doctor. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
