Yes, I was happy with this product. It was lighter and silkier than I was used to with no smell or greasy after effect.
I used it on legs and arms after showering and found it had a soothing effect particularly on lower legs.
I would like to continue using this and would recommend to others to give it a try.

Taptan Mon 14-Oct-19 15:23:55

Thank you so much. I was very impressed with the difference that Balneum lotion has made to my extremely dry skin, which now feels quite silky. I used it on my arms and legs and am thrilled with the results. I will be buying this when the bottle is empty.

glammanana Mon 14-Oct-19 12:51:46

I have completed my findings on Balneum lotion but have not yet received the email to complete the required survey

klucette Mon 14-Oct-19 12:32:49

I get very dry skin on my legs and this went on so smoothly and soaked into the skin very quickly, not leaving a greasy residue. My legs felt so smooth afterwards and felt less itchy. The results lasted all day.

boo2410 Mon 14-Oct-19 07:43:34

1) Totally satisfied

2) I used it on the dry skin on my hands on arms. It was non greasy and was absorbed in extremely well.

3) I will finish the bottle and will more than likely buy another.

4) Yes, I would recommend Balneum cream.

Many thanks for sending me a bottle to try.

Ingrid45 Sun 13-Oct-19 22:58:34

Thank you for letting me try this. I have very sensitive skin and have bought many products over the years. The Balneum lotion didn't cause my skin to erupt as often happens so yes, I am very satisfied with it. It was easily absorbed and left my skin feeling smooth and well moisturised. I used it on my arms and legs initially but have now used it on my face with no ill effects. I would recommend it to anyone who has trouble finding suitable products for problem skin.

mellymitch Sun 13-Oct-19 18:16:40

I suffer from dry itchy skin on various parts of my body and this lotion is non-greasy and pleasant to use. It seems to offer instant softness and relief, and I intend to continue to use it and consider trying their other products.

busybee6969 Sun 13-Oct-19 18:00:19

loved it helped my elbow flare up, very soothing ,worked very fast,would buy again highly recommended,thank you for letting me trial it

Annapops Sun 13-Oct-19 16:44:22

I am impressed by this lotion. I particularly like it's consistency and absorption into the skin without that greasy feeling of some other lotions.
I have used the lotion on my hands, arms, elbows, neck and chest areas. I have also gently used some on my face avoiding the eye area.
The product has certainly left my skin feeling smoother and softer and I enjoy using it to ease the tightness and dryness I have often felt on my arms and hands.
I shall continue to use the product and if I see or feel further improvement I may consider purchasing my own bottle.I
Yes, I would certainly recommend this product.

Wends Sun 13-Oct-19 16:34:55

I get lotion on prescription from my GP, but must admit that Balneum lotion was excellent. It didn't make my skin feel sticky, was absorbed fairly quickly and a little goes a long way. I would buy it if it was reasonably priced and would definitely recommend it.

ctkell Sun 13-Oct-19 15:36:26

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE BALNEUM LOTION. AS SOON AS IT WAS APPLIED I FOUND IT TO BE VERY SOOTHING. I HAVE VERY ITCHY DRY SKIN ON MY SHOULDERS AND LEGS AND FOUND THE LOTION TO BE ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE TRIED. THE EFFECTS WERE LONG LASTING AND MY SKIN FELT SOFT AND HYDRATED. WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

1Jodie Sun 13-Oct-19 15:26:15

It looks like I could be the only one who didn't find that the lotion has helped. I used it for severe itching which it hasn't helped to subside. The lotion was soothing when applied, but unfortunately just hasn't stopped the itching which I was hoping that it might.

Shoom72 Sun 13-Oct-19 13:52:00

I was very satisfied as my skin dryness and feel improved drastically
It could be used all over body as and when needed!
I will definitely both recommend and use
Was also good for my husbands psoriasis skin

MegrannyW1 Sun 13-Oct-19 13:09:16

This is a very good product which has been greatly improved. It is cool on the skin and the consistency is just right and absorbs quickly into the skin. I had tried this sometime ago and although brilliant for very dry skin it took sometime to absorb. would definitely recommend it especially for very dry skin

kathy123 Sun 13-Oct-19 11:27:22

I was unsure as to weather or not this would be any good as normaly this kind of cream is very greasy and hard to absorb into the skin.
But this went in very fast and even the small bit I used on my hands made my skin feel soft.
This is a cream that I will be telling people about.

GrannieAnnie123 Sun 13-Oct-19 11:19:00

I find Balneum very good! Find I usually react but this went on very smoothly and sorted out a few patches of eczema that had been very sore.

HHBBNN54 Sun 13-Oct-19 10:08:18

I have been using this lotion on an itchy dry patch of skin I had on my leg. I was surprised to have actually found something that works. Already after only a few applications my skin has become less itchy and feels smoother. I will continue to use this and consider buying another one when this runs out.

Awaka1 Sun 13-Oct-19 06:47:05

After experiencing a week of intense itchy skin.I was so looking forward to getting the BALNEUM dry skin and itch relief lotion.and could not wait to use it.The 200ml bottle was ideal to hold it in my hand and the flip top was easy.The lotion is white and almost creamy and the consistency is like a single cream.no scent.as soon as I applied it and rubbed it in.my skin felt soothed.it felt oily but wasn't greasy it,was soon absorbed.my skin at once felt soothed and looked hydrated.it was as if I had pampered the legs.they looked and felt amazing.The itch was gone .Also I used it on a dry patch on my back which had been annoying me .day and night.it was when at the end of day one realized I had not in fact been scratching.so I used it morning after a shower as it was more absorbed due to open pores.and then again at night.no longer was I waking up scratching and scratching or scratching in my sleep and finding bloody scratch marks in the morning.it certainly does what it says.my skin hasn't looked so good and most importantly feels good.I certainly will be using this lotion again as in the winter months the skin is drier due to heating.wearing tights trousers etc.most impressed

Valbeasixties Sun 13-Oct-19 06:43:13

1) I was very pleased with this product. It comes in neat, plain packaging and you only have to use a small amount as it goes a long way. It has no unpleasant fragrance.
2) Gentle yet very effective. It worked extremely well on areas of my body where I have particular problems.
3) I will continue to use this product as long as the price is realistic.
4) I have already recommended it to a family member and will continue to share positive feedback.

jhm27 Sun 13-Oct-19 00:56:17

Have been using Balneum Lotion on dry and itchy skin just below hairline on the back of my neck. It is soothing and easy to apply albeit a bit runny. I will continue to use it and recommend others give it a try.

Cherrytree59 Sat 12-Oct-19 22:05:47

My lotion arrived whilst I was away on holiday, left behind the bin hmm.

Started using it Tuesday, applying twice daily, morning and evening as I would normally do with my zerocream.

Since returning home, we have turned our central heating on.
This would usually causes my skin to flare up, but thankfully the lotion seems to be helping.
It is early days yet, so I will continue to use the lotion and report back.

Teewees123 Sat 12-Oct-19 21:06:24

Yes very satisfied.
It definitely improved my hands.
Will continue to use and would recommend to others .

Johm4 Sat 12-Oct-19 20:26:32

Really effective on my dry, itchy feet.
