2. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?
Very Easy to apply, the worst part of me is my feet which are scaly and sore but i have been using DEXERYL and applying thickly and then wearing socks and have had no problems. When i apply thiscker cream such as E45 etc the cream marks my socks but DEXERYL doesnt!

5. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?

6. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?
great for dd, and good for dh, and ds

7. Based on your experience of using DEXERYL® cream, do you think you would use it again?
yes very much so!

8. Would you recommend DEXERYL® cream to someone else?
already have done, but as most know its finding some thing to suit your skin type as we had trouble with dd , but she seams fine with this.

1.Myself and ds2

2.Very easy to apply

3.Yes

4.I found it non greasy and liked the fact that it also had no smell to it

5.I found it better,mainly for ds.His skin is alot smoother than usual,with less noticeable patches

6.Very good

7.Yes,I would use it again and will ask my gp for some,for ds2

8.Definately-have done so already!

1. Please can you state who used DEXERYL® in your family?
o 10 week old baby daughter who had eczema from 2 weeks old.

2. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?
o Very easy, seemed thin at first but in fact this meant that a little goes a very long way and it's easy to apply all over.

3. Did you find DEXERYL® cream was quickly absorbed?
o Yes, amazingly so. My baby had eczema patches all over, even on her head and other creams left her little fluffy hair all greasy and horrible. Dexeryl sorted out her sore skin but didn't make her hair greasy.

4. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?
o Non-greasy.

5. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?
Incredible, so far we have tried Cetraben, Doublebase and Aqueous cream. None of these made any difference to dd and her skin was red and weeping in places. Her little chest was like sand-paper. Her skin was visably better after one day of Dexeryl and now after using it for a week her skin is completely healed - soft and velvetty like a baby should be!

6. How would you rate your overall experience of using DEXERYL® cream?
o Very good.

7. Based on your experience of using DEXERYL® cream, do you think you would use it again?

o Yes, will be asking GP to prescribe it but if they won't I will buy it as I believe it represents very good value for money.

8. Would you recommend DEXERYL® cream to someone else?

o Yes, already have recommended to several friends.

Thank you for the sample.

1. Please can you state who used DEXERYL® in your family?
o I have used the cream on my 21 month old son and my 5 year old son.

2. How easy did you find DEXERYL® cream to apply?
o The cream is very easy to apply, however, I would prefer a pump as it is a bit cumbersome trying to handle a squirmy toddler and trying to take the top off the tube.

3. Did you find DEXERYL® cream was quickly absorbed?
o Yes, it has a nice silky texture and is quickly absorbed.

4. How did you find DEXERYL® cream?
o Non-greasy and light

5. How did you find DEXERYL® cream in comparison to your usual emollient?
