The winter usually means cosy nights, hearty food, and Michael Bublé defrosting for his annual run. But it also means low humidity and bracing cold winds that can cause chaos for our skin.
That’s why the Cetraben Cream is a game changer, as it has been hailed a ‘miracle’ for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Best of all? It’s just £6.05 from Boots.
The cream is the No.1 GP-recommended cream in the UK, and works by strengthening the skin’s barrier, locking in moisture, and preventing external irritants.
Cetraben Cream
Sensitive skin? This pocket-sized hero has you covered. Cetraben Cream – the UK’s No.1 GP-recommended moisturiser. It delivers instant hydration from the first use too. Designed for dry, itchy and eczema-prone skin, it helps repair the skin barrier by locking in moisture and shielding against irritants. The 50ml pump is perfect for on-the-go relief, and as the first eczema-prone skincare range approved by the British Skin Foundation, it’s a trusted staple for everyday comfort.
Dermatologist Dr Adel praised the cream on TikTok, telling her 1.8 million followers: ‘This is the moisturiser that every single derm recommends. I cannot believe more people do not talk about it. It’s going to keep your skin soft, hydrated, nice, and plump.’
The handy pump dispenses just the right amount of product without waste, while keeping the formula clean and reducing the risk of breakouts.
It’s also formulated with glycerin to help your skin retain moisture, leaving it soft, hydrated, and smooth, without any greasy residue. It absorbs quickly and works wonders on a range of skin concerns, from dry patches and eczema to rough or crepey areas.
‘I thought I tried every cream for eczema and they didn’t help, but this cream is like miracle and it works fast, just after few days my eczema and flaky skin were gone!’ Tpala said in their feedback.
Chan insisted it took the itch from eczema away in minutes, while Emily gushed: ‘I brought this cream a few months ago when I had an eczema flare-up on my eyelid. I tried loads of creams and this is the only one that managed to get rid of my eczema.
‘Within a few days of using the cream it was almost gone and really helped me to get my confidence back. I still use the cream to prevent future flare ups and I would definitely recommend this product.’
Alyella said her eczema had become ‘unbearable’, revealing she had ‘itchy, burning, bright red skin’ across her body.
‘Took a chance on this based on the other reviews and WOW. Game changing!!’ she gushed. ‘Within two days of use my flare-up is gone, along with the burning and itching. I’ve spent years searching for something that works, and I think I’ve finally found it!’
The gentle formula means it’s also safe to use on children’s skin over the age of one, with Rebecca adding in her feedback: ‘My little boy has eczema and suffers from horrible flare ups that result in painful cracked skin and scabs on his legs, arms and hands.
‘We’ve only been using this 3 days and already the aggressive red scabs have softened and faded and he’s not itching or in any pain with them and best of all we haven’t had to use his steroid cream. Couldn’t praise this product enough!!!’
