Soap/Cream dispencer for Zerobase (emollient) cream?

Hello, I have dehydrated and problematic hands that I need to moisturise frequently.

I get Zerobase on prescription, and it comes in convenient but very ugly 500g tubs with a big pump.

I keep one in every room for easy access, but I'd love to decant it into pretty soap dispensers. However, Zerobase is thick. More viscous than E45, I'd say.

I expect many dispensers would just choke or break over time. Has anyone else had any luck with similarly thick cream in dispensers that held up?

Sorry can't help with the question, but do you find zerobase to be the best? My DD is struggling dreadfully with her hands, centroban (sp?) is on prescription but it isn't helping.

Honestly, you'd be better off wrapping something waterproof around the bottle if you want it to look nice. Decanting that stuff must be a nightmare.

I didn't find it any good to be honest so I hope you do find it useful.

@DallasMajor depends what exactly is wrong. I was given it to prevent outbreaks of eczema but it didn't work. I ended up not using any preventative. Use hydrocortisone cream for outbreaks.

I've been given some free samples of things that were meant to be better, I can try and dig out the names if you want

It works great for me for my quite specific case...

I suffer from anxiety and I can break out in hives on my hand, as a result. When my skin is dry and cracked, a breakout is far more likely. Zerobase helps a lot as a preventative measure, by keeping my hands supple.

According to Google: "Cetraben is a popular, effective choice for moisturizing and is often recommended for conditions like eczema, while Zerobase is known for being fragrance-free and suitable as a follow-up to topical steroid treatments".

This makes complete sense, as once I do have a breakout, I then apply a very strong steroid cream. So, unless she's also using a steroid cream, Zerobase might not be right for her? Obviously consult a doctor to confirm and for futher help :)

Do you use gloves overnight?
