Oilatum Plus Antiseptic Emollient Bath Additive for Eczema and Dry Skin Conditions, Soothing and Hydrating Formula, Dermatologist Recommended Relief, 1 x 500ml

I last had major coverage of plaque psoriasis 35-40 years ago, but have recently had an outbreak of guttate psoriasis all over my body. It is not bleeding and painful as my first case was, but has started itching like crazy - especially on my back. I am avoiding scratching and rubbing as I do not want to create raw and bleeding patches, but occasionally I do forget and absent-mindedly scratch at something. 40 years ago I used Oilatum and it helped, so I was eager to try this version now. I usually shower every day, but for the last few days I have been taking a bath in the evening, a short while before going to bed. I am putting this Oilatum Plus in the water and soaking for 10-15 minutes. It seems to be reducing the irritation and itching, enabling me to get off to sleep. It seems to be more effective than standard Oilatum (in a blue bottle). The "plus" seems to be Triclosan, and Benzalkonium Chloride, which add an antiseptic, antibacterial quality. Triclosan was withdrawn from many over the counter preparations in 2017, and indeed Oilatum Plus does not currently appear on the Oilatum website. It might have been discontinued. I am waiting to hear back from GSK, the manufacturer, about this. I am happy to use this for a short period if it helps to bring my fresh psoriasis under control, and then I can simply switch to normal Oilatum if i need to continue treatment. . It is not particularly cheap to buy, but you do not need to use very much in each bath, AND it definitely makes a difference. For me it is excellent.

I’ve been struggling with dry, itchy skin and occasional eczema flare-ups, and after trying several products, Oilatum Plus Antiseptic Emollient Bath Additive has truly made a difference. From the very first use, I noticed my skin felt softer, smoother, and more hydrated. The formula gently cleanses while locking in moisture, leaving the skin feeling calm and comfortable instead of tight or irritated.

Our 3-year-old daughter suffers from eczema, and so we use this for her nightly baths, and it seems to help. We use 2 capfuls per bath, and one bottle lasts us for around 2 months

This bath emollient is excellent if,like me,you suffer from dry skin. After a good soak my skin is moisturised and healthier. Would recommend.

Helped calm down an eczema flare and I like antiseptic for keeping any issues with infection at bay.

Gentle on eczema skin

This is not as oily as the original oilatum but has still cleared up my dry itchy skin, no real smell and turns the water milky, you can feel the moisturisation in the water but can still wash your hair without it becoming greasy, i am very happy with this and it also cleared up a rash on my chest. Great stuff.

oilatum has not been on the shelves here in Ireland anymore So, to find it here and its cheaper is 5 stars already. But Oilatum plus is great for atopic dermatitis, general eczema, and other skin conditions. Not only is it an emollient. It is an antiseptic as well, Which is vital for eczema suffering as forgien pathogens can cause irritation. Use it once a week and you will see your skin improve. Every day for extreme sufferers (which I was before this)

This is imported from Great Britain, I usually use the same brand name product from Australia. The British version has an odour and is not as effective as the product made in Australia. It is still okay as a bath and shower emollient.
