Dry or itchy skin/scalp? Do you or a member of your family want to test Balneums skin & scalp care products? £300 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

[EllieMumsnet]

Balneum has asked us to find 250 MNers to try their Balneum dry skin and itch relief Cream (click here for further information) and their dry and itchy scalp shampoo (click here for further information). Both products are designed to provide relief from dry and itchy skin and are suitable for anyone over the age of 3 years old. So, if you or a member of your family would benefit from said relief and fancy testing the two products, sign up below!

Here is what Balneum has to say: "At Balneum, we understand that an itch is never just an itch. Irritated skin can get in the way of everyday life, causing frustrations and ongoing itch-scratch cycles. It’s our mission to help you itch less and live more. Whether that’s spending more time with your loved ones, smashing your exercise routine, or enjoying a more social lifestyle, we’re here to help. We don’t just care for you, we care for your skin and scalp too."

All selected testers will receive both the cream and the shampoo and be required to: test out the two products for a month, leave feedback on a thread on Mumsnet,and complete a short survey. Everyone that leaves the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

If you’d like to take part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck!

Mine arrived today! Can't wait to use them!

[pannikin]

Got it today. Nice little bag too, which DS immediately nabbed for himself! Looking forward to trying out.

[Faintlinesquints]

Mine came today too and I didn’t realise I’d been chosen either!

Have been using the cream already and it seem nice so far.

If anyone wasn’t chosen and wishes to try once the reviews are in, they sell both the cream and shampoo at boots, £9.99 each - I was looking to buy before I realised I’d been picked.

[happymummy12345]

Faintlinesquints thank you for sharing that. I don't think I was picked unfortunately, but if the reviews are good I'd defo buy the shampoo at least. I'll keep that in mind (write it down so I don't forget), for after the reviews are in, if they are good.

[SilverHairedCat]

Arrived this morning, looking forward to trying it out! Lovely little bag that came with it.

Will there be another thread for the feedback?

[BluebellsareBlue]

Yay!! Arrived yesterday and immediately slapped some on my legs!! Looking forward to trying this

[EllieMumsnet]

Hi everyone

I'm pleased to see that everyone who was selected has safely received the products

I can see that a few of you selected testers have flagged that you didn't know you had been chosen. I did email everyone to let you know you had been chosen and also when you would expect to receive the products. Please could you check your junk folders and also save '[email protected]' to your address book on your email, as I will be contacting you next week to share the feedback thread.

Enjoy the products

Received yesterday and also didn’t know. I will check my junk mail.

[Orangesox]

Finally picked mine up from the delivery office. I was completely baffled as to what this mystery parcel was - clearly I’m rubbish at checking my emails

[UniKittyCorn]

@EllieMumsnet I’ve got no email in my inbox or junk folder. Not sure if I’ve maybe made a mistake when entering my email address.

[smilingthroughgrittedteeth]

No email in my junk mail either.

[Ginkypig]

I can't find an email.

Did you send one?

If you did can you pm me please as I very much wanted to be part of the testers.

[Therewere5inthebed]

Arrived back from a week away to find a parcel, thank you for picking me MNHQ.

[ohfourfoxache]

Is there a feedback thread going yet @EllieMumsnet ?

[EachandEveryone]

No email in junk either. What are our instructions? How ling do we try it for?

[MimsyBorogroves]

Mine has been received. Do we have a feedback thread for first thoughts?

[EllieMumsnet]

Hi @ohfourfoxache & @MimsyBorogroves apologies for the feedback thread not being live yet, we are currently waiting for Balneum to sign it off, the minute it is live I will let you all know.

@EachandEveryone you can test the products for 4 weeks

[jellycat81]

Arrived home from a week away to a mystery parcel, thanks for choosing me! As others have said, I didn't know I was chosen, and don't have an email in inbox or junk folder either. I'm looking forward to trying it out on myself and my 2 DDs esp coming into hayfever season, which makes everyone in our house much worse!

[ncforthisok]

Got mine too, I'm liking the cream so far but not the shampoo.

[EachandEveryone]

Ypu need loads of conditioner with the shampoo.

[ohfourfoxache]

Superb, thanks Ellie

[MimsyBorogroves]

Thanks Ellie.

The cream is brilliant except on my face, where it's made the patches of dry skin even more dry and painful. It's been amazing on my legs.

Agreed that conditioner is essential.

[toomuchlikemyusername]

Hi Ellie

I've received my products but had no emails either.

Will look out for the feedback thread.

So far it's looking good though.

[GingerKitCat]

No email received (junk or inbox)

Unfortunately the pump is broken on my lotion, I can't get any out. Anyone having the same issue?

Update - I've removed the plastic bit so the inner pump is exposed, I've managed to squirt a bit out that way but it's messy

[EllieMumsnet]

Hi Everyone

The feedback thread is now live for you to post your initial thoughts and progress on.

Thanks
Ellie
