Is Cetraben Ointment 450g good for eczema?

Cetraben Ointment is made to help manage dry skin in eczema and dry psoriasis. The rich paraffin base locks in water, eases rough patches and helps calm itch and tight feeling. With steady use, many people notice smoother texture and less dryness linked to flare ups. As the range holds British Skin Foundation recognition, it is widely used in eczema care routines.

Who can use Cetraben Ointment 450g?

This ointment suits adults, older people, teenagers, children and infants with very dry skin. It is often chosen by those with eczema, dry psoriasis or long term sensitive skin conditions. People who find creams too light may prefer this more dense emollient for deeper skin comfort. Anyone with a known allergy to any of the ingredients should seek advice before use.

How does Cetraben Ointment differ from a cream or lotion?

Cetraben Ointment contains higher levels of paraffin than most creams or lotions. This creates a thicker layer that slows water loss and keeps skin soft for longer. Creams often feel lighter and may suit mild dryness, while this ointment is better for more severe or persistent dryness. Many people use a lighter emollient during the day and this richer ointment at night.

Can Cetraben Ointment be used as a cleanser or in the bath?

Yes, Cetraben Ointment can be used as a gentle soap substitute for dry or eczema prone skin. When applied and then rinsed off, it cleanses while leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturised. It can also be used as a bath additive to help soften the water and reduce moisture loss during bathing. This multi use approach can simplify daily skin care routines.

Is Cetraben Ointment suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is free from SLS, added fragrance, colours and parabens, which makes it suitable for many people with sensitive skin. Its simple emollient base is designed to hydrate and protect without harsh cleansing agents. As with all skin care products, a patch test is sensible if your skin is highly reactive. Seek professional advice if you have a history of severe skin reactions.
