I have used Balneum for about a week now. My skin feels beautifully soft and moisturised. It feels a little sticky on first application but that soon disappears. I use it on my legs and the itching has subsided. I don’t mind it not having fragrance but I think I would like it more if it did have a gentle scent. I would recommend Balneum to my friends and family.

The lotion was very light and was easily absorbed with no residual stickiness. I used it mainly on my legs, feet and arms and found it moisturised and softened my skin. The itchiness on my shins disappeared. Although the bottle is not large, just 200ml, I found a little went a long way. I would certainly buy it. Thank you for selecting me to trial Balneum.
1. Quite satisfied. Easy to use and non-greasy.
2. Yes, the skin on my arms and legs is softer and less itchy.
3. Yes, I'll stock up when it is on sale.
4. Yes, I recommend it.
1/ Very satisfied, in fact I plan to continue using the product.
2/ I used it on my lower legs from the ankle upwards where the skin gets very dry and scaly, particularly during the winter. The improvement was remarkable.
3/ Yes I will continue using the product.
4/ I have already recommended it.
I've been using this for a week now and I must say I'm quite impressed. It's very light in texture, non greasy and doesn't leave any sticky residue. I also like the fact that it doesn't have a heavy perfume like so many other skin lotions. I've noticed that the skin on my legs is much softer and smoother; less scaley, scratchy and dry, and the effects genuinely do last all day. I think it's quite an expensive product, in comparison to some others, but it does do what it says on the tin!
Thank you for giving me the chance to try this lotion.
1. How satisfied were you with Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
The lotion is pleasant to use. At first I thought it might be too runny to be useful, but in fact it worked quickly to relieve dry itchy skin on my shins, ankles and feet.
2. Did Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion improve your skin's condition? Were there any parts of the body you felt it worked best on?
The lotion worked best on shins, ankles and feet except big toes and heels which need a richer and longer lasting cream.
3. Will you continue using Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion following this test?
Yes, I will.
4. Would you recommend Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
Yes, definitely.
1. How satisfied were you with Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion? Extremely satisfied.
2. Did Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion improve your skin's condition? Definitely! I had a small patch of eczema on my inner elbow which has almost gone after only 4 applications. My menopausal naturally rough skin on my hands and feet are now baby soft.
Were there any parts of the body you felt it worked best on?Hands and feet.
3. Will you continue using Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion following this test? Absolutely yes!
4. Would you recommend Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?Yes. Not only is is extremely effective, there's no strong perfume so it doesn't compete with perfume if you apply it before going 'out' out! 
On the whole I am very satisfied with Balneum though I did find it a bit runny
I used the lotion on my hands,arms, legs and feet. I found my legs felt less dry and it soothed the itchy patches on my feet. I did nit find it as effective on my hands.
I will continue to use the product as I like the lack of smell and it rubs in easily after a shower.
I have already recommended Balneum to my friend and invited her to try it .
1. How satisfied were you with Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
I was very satisfied and found it pleasant and easy to use.
2. Did Balneum improve your skin?
Yes it did. I particularly used it on my hands. It needed time to sink in, then it left my hands soft and relieved any itching.
3. Will you continue using Balneum after the test?
Yes, it's easy to use and effective on my skin.
4. Would you recommend Balneum?
Yes, it's light, non greasy, non perfumed and it works!
Very satisfied with Balneum.
It came out easily & was liquid & soft.
I used it on my itchy back & very dry feet & hands. It helped soothe them.
I will definitely continue to use it & buy more.
I would happily recommend it. It is easy to use & gentle on the skin.
I applied to test this product specifically for the promise that it would relieve itching. For months I had been suffering from a very itchy back, which I often scratched to the point of bleeding. I have religiously applied it morning and evening since receiving it (not that easy in applying to one’s back), and I can honestly say that there has been a huge improvement. It still itches sometimes, but is far less severe. My back has healed and is smooth for the first time in ages. I intend to continue buying this product, and also to try the shower wash and shampoo.
I found the lotion easy to apply and it was absorbed quickly. The main reason i wanted to try it, was for a condition on my hands which causes them to itch and get very sore. Sadly it had no effect on them. I would proably suggest to another person if they just wanted a lotion to use after showering etc, especially if they wanted a perfume free one.
Yes I am enjoying using it on my arms and legs. Nice and soothing.
I loved this lotion. As it has no perfume I have been using it on me mastectomy scar. It is cooling and relieves the tightness. I will continue using it and recommend it to a friend.
I was very pleased. Balneum exceeded my expectations.
My dry skin was improved a lot. I felt that it worked best on underarms and knees.
I will continue to use it in preference to other creams I have tried as it performs better than any of them! I will definitely recommend this product.
I am grateful for the chance to try this.
I am going to be totally honest after trying this cream...............
1. How satisfied were you with Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
Not at all.
2. Did Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion improve your skin's condition? Were there any parts of the body you felt it worked best on?
I used it on my Psoriasis on my chest, where it it the most itchy and dry - I saw no improvement.
3. Will you continue using Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion following this test?
No - It was not for me.
4. Would you recommend Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
Sorry no. I cannot. too thin, does not absorb, does not work and is too greasy.

1. How satisfied were you with Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
After using the ointment after 1 week, I noticed an improvement, so yes I was satisfied. I did find the cream too runny and greasy, but the smell was better than my current cream (as there was not one)
2. Did Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion improve your skin's condition? Were there any parts of the body you felt it worked best on?
The results were about the same as my regular cream (which is much cheaper) However the results on my legs were better than the regular cream, my chest was a little worse than my regular cream.
3. Will you continue using Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion following this test?
No - I think I will stick to my regular cream, but I was really appreciative for the chance of testing this cream.
4. Would you recommend Balneum Dry Skin and Itch Relief Lotion?
I would recommend, yes.
I found the product to be very helpful. Although I have had it for a short time, it has improved the condition of my skin. Would definitely buy in the future.
Really pleased with this product. When I first used it I thought it was quite runny, however it soaked into the skin very quickly. It has helped my dry legs, and the itching has stopped since I started using it, my hands sometimes suffer from being dry and itchy - it has helped them. I would recommend this lotion, and continue to use it.
I was very satisfied with the Balneum lotion It did improve my skin on my legs which get very dry and itchy, and my hands which also get very dry. I will definitely keep using it and will recommend it to family and friends. The only thing is the fragrance could be improved. Thank you for the chance to try it
After using Balneum for a few weeks was pleased with it. Light non scented lotion which absorbed into my skin well and left it feeling silky smooth . i get itching from medication and it helped with that also on dry legs after showering yes i would use it again and recommended to my daugher who suffers with ezma .
Unscented, tick.
Absorbs easily, tick.
Does the job, tick.
Hopefully this will be on sale in supermarkets etc, I don't get the opportunity to visit a pharmacy often so it would be nice if it was readily available elsewhere.
1. I found this good on my skin, gentle and easy to use. Unperfumed so no problems there.
2. Used on my shins and the tops of my feet as the skin there gets very dry and itchy.
3. I will buy some more when this runs out and have already bought the shampoo as my scalp gets sore and itchy and this has helped with that
4. I would recommend to anyone who needs something g to alleviate their sore and itchy skin.
I could not review on Amazon as they would not let me.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try this product. I liked the fact that it is odourless. I was pleasantly surprised too because the lotion seemed thin but left my skin smooth, soft and completely 'flake-free' for ages. It soaked in quickly and was not greasy. It is a soothing product and I would definitely buy it.
