E45 has got to be one of the most recognised brands in the UK. I don’t think I’ve ever met a parent that doesn’t use a pot of E45 to help nappy rash and to soften babies’ dry skin. The E45 baby range includes various creams, lotions, and oils that are dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin. These products are formulated with gentle and nourishing ingredients to provide hydration and protection for delicate baby skin. Parents often rely on the E45 baby range to maintain their little one’s skin health and prevent common issues such as dryness or irritation.
I’ve heard of women who have this as a staple in their skincare routine, too, mainly in the form of that big pot that’s there to rescue any dry patches.
I was sent two products from the E45 range to try out.
E45 Moisturising Lotion
This moisturising lotion is perfume free and will reduce roughness and flaking. It’s suitable for sensitive skin too, so perfect for someone like me who can get a reaction to anything slightly harsh. I’ve been using this on my dry elbows and feet.
I love how easily this soaks into my skin. It has a very mild, clean scent.
E45 Moisturising Lotion Ingredients
Aqua, Petrolatum, Isopropyl Palmitate, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glyceryl Stearate, Ceteareth-20, Lanolin, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin , Sodium Hydroxide, BHT
E45 Overnight Repair and Protect Hand Cream
I’ve never been a fan of using hand cream, because I hate how it feels, especially when you wash your hands afterwards. I’ve been suffering from dry, chapped hands the past few months though. I have to wash my hands a lot at work and I had red, cracked skin on my thumbs and hands a week or so again. It was so sore, itchy and starting to bleed. Not a nice look.
Because of this, I’ve been looking for the best hand cream I can find. I’ve been using a few I’ve had in subscription boxes but found that they are irritating because of the scents and fancy shit they stick in ’em. I even tried one by Dove, but though it smelled delicious, it stung straight away.
To combat my poor dry hands, I’ve been keeping a hand cream in my car, it’s dead easy then for me to remember to put it on to and from work when I’m stuck at a red light. I now keep this on my bedside table and use it at night before I go to sleep.
This product helps repair the skin overnight by boosting skin cell regeneration. The best thing about it for me is that it doesn’t sting!
E45 Overnight Repair and Protect Hand Cream Ingredients
Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Niacinamide, Sodium Gluconate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-40 Stearate, Ceteareth-20, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Dimethylimidazolidinone Rice Starch, Ethylhexylglycerin, Helianthus Annus Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Polyquarternium-51, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
Moisturise Or Moisturize Uk Spelling
In the United Kingdom, the term “moisturise” is used instead of moisturize.
I’ve been really loving the hand cream at the moment. I love that it quickly soaks in and doesn’t leave my hands all sticky
I try to moisturise everyday & also drink lots of water too
I apply a daily moisturiser in the mornings and a night moisturiser in the evenings. I also take vitamin supplements for my hair and skin.
I discover these products on your blog. Thank you for this review.
Have a beautiful weekend Corinne, kisses 🙂

I keep my skin soft by using moisturizer and by drinking lots of water to keep my skin hydrated.
Regular moisturising whatever the weather and hydrate from the inside out by drinking lots of water.
I only drink water which I think makes a huge difference! And I also exfoliate regularly
I exfoliate top to toe a couple of times a week, especially in the winter when skin is all wrapped up. And I always slap on the body lotion after my shower. If I’m tight for time, I use an in-shower moisturiser. I don’t think they’re as effective but better than nothing.
Lots of moisturiser
I have ecema so E45 is my go to product.
I moisturise all the time as I have very dry skin
I have such dry hands so I always use moisturiser everyday.
I would like to say that I don’t do any housework so my hands are soft enough but sadly, that is a pipe dream. I use hand cream morning and night.
I love E45 products, never tried a thing from them that i didnt like. Also use on my little girl now 🙂
Cold water on your face daily
Me and my little boy both just E45 cream, he uses the child friendly bath additive too as he suffers badly from extrema like I did when I was little. E45 has helped me and my son get our smooth skin back and improve my confidence
Use E 45 hubby uses it to
Lots of moisturiser before I go to bed, particularly my hands. And if they’re a real mess from constant washing at work I put on as much as I can and put gloves over the top, works really well, they’re so much better in the morning.
I make sure I use a good moisturiser, especially in the winter and I try and drink lots of water, I don’t always manage that though!

Exfoliation and lots of moisturiser!
Drink lots and lots!

Hah a comment about how to help my dry skin… well I have eczema and in winter it’s awful. I can actually hardly write or move my right hand at the moment ‘cos the eczema has got so bad and painful. I try to avoid beauty products on my face, I find moisturizers actually dry my skin out. I’ve used E45 but needed something stronger so I’ve also used Oilatum and now Diprobase. I’ve started using coconut oil too, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s more soothing than a cream and really sinks into the skin making it feel much more nourished, and it smells good but is natural! xo
I wrap it in bacon, seems to work and keeps it tasty
its good to moisturize….i cant do without it now
Dry body brushing really helps me! x

Bathe in baby oil
I’ve been using coconut oil lately and it really works
I use a moisturising body wash when in the bath, then use ordinary moisturiser in winter but use after-sun from spring to autumn when the sun is stronger as I find it works best to replenish any moisture lost and will also repair any damage done by the sun. Also I drink loads or water, fruit juice or diluted down cordial so my body has plenty of fluid to put into it.
Drinking loads of water and moisturising everyday. I also use a body scrub in the shower twice a week
