This is why Sudacrem has tripled in price …

[HKARJ]

Sudacrem price riseI went to buy Sudacrem cream recently and saw that the price for a 400g pot was x3 more expensive than my last purchase!

A quick Google reveals :

Awful.
Should have kept factory going in Ireland.

My youngest started uni in September. When we went to do his big food shop, he had to head off to get a massive pot of sudocrem. Guess it's one of those things we can't be without

Us too!

it’s used for everything.

I remember when you could buy a big tub for 99p

I even took a tub backpacking around the world with me 😂

I tried it and it didn’t work for my DS.

After using so many different creams, someone recommended me a cream called Glysolid. It cleared all his eczema within a week, and kept it away. It’s not sold on the high street but it’s available on Amazon.

Yes. When I started using it on my first born it ( the lanolin) triggered my excema and could have been a factor in his. We must be the exception but not bought any since

My boyfriend swears by it for his eczema and I use it on down below after I’ve shaved- it’s amazing for shaving rash/razor burn!

It doesn’t cure everything though… But they do have to reply to every tweet mentioning it:

We used it on tick bites etc on my dog, worked really well

Yes! I'm using it for my own eczema right now. 3 days in and its 90% better.

ps: pot is at least 20 years old.

Unpopular view, I know, I actually can't stand Sudocrem. I think it was the blind insistence by both DM and MIL when my first was born that his bottom must at all times be coated in it regardless of nappy rash. My attempts to point out that I had read creams weren't usually necessary or recommended with cloth nappies fell on deaf ears and to this day nearly 2.5 years and another baby later if mum changes a nappy she'll ask for cream, despite the skin being absolutely pristine and not needing cream of any kind. Put me right off ever buying it myself!

Home Bargains do a much cheaper copy.

And stays there years after its best by date. Its probably there the day the baby it appeared for gets married, has his/her baby. Its just stays there. Watching. Waiting.

We used it on the children when they were small and now use it on the greyhound (as they are prone to cut themselves easily).

We put it on everything: insect bite, nappy rash, other rash, scrape - you name it. Will have to go easy at current prices, though it’s totally worth whatever they charge.

Gosh that sounds really difficult and challenging!

They do!

I remember feeling really strange when I saw my parents had replaced their 15 year old tub of sudocrem with a brand new tub. What had changed to make them suddenly take the leap?! It was a very destabilising moment.

I thought its magical property was that it never runs out.
We've been using the same run of Sudocrem for years. It's been half full for as long as I can remember. I don't remember buying it either. It's just there - on the bathroom windowsill. Always has been, and probably always will be.

Our dog was hospitalised with severe gastroenteritis and when he was discharged his poor bottom was raw red. The vet suggested sudocrem and it was like a miracle cream. I don't think the dog understands placebo effects so it must have worked. (The true proof of dog love is slathering cream on his bottom twice a day 🤢. I did use disposable gloves).

I can't use lanolin either. And e45 cream has it in it. So I have to use aqueous cream.

Intrigued about it as I have tried numerous creams with little success on my hand ezcema

We do too! I put a fly rug on our elderly Cushings mare last summer but they got u see it and she rubbed herself sore in an afternoon. We slathered her in sudocrem every day and she healed beautifully.

I still use it now, and my eldest is 30!
I get patches of eczema and it works for me using a tiny smear then moisturiser over the top
I also use it on my dog as he has sensitive skin too( Westie)
For info tiny tubs of 20g in a container similar to Vaseline lip therapy are sold now
