chocccie Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Is this available in France? If so, doesn't anybody know what it's called here .... and is it a reasonable price (I can buy a massive tub for about 4p in the UK [:P] ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 My wife uses it also. To date we have been importing it, the unit cost is peanuts but the carriage, because of the weight is very expensive. At her last meeting with the doctor, he told her he had not heard of Aqueous cream but felt that LIPIKAR seemed to do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 There are quite a few alternatives, but they'll be much more expensive in France.Try searching google.fr for crème émolliente or crème surgrasse.PS: I use Nivea crème. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 There is apparently a product called Dexeryl, that is like E45 cream but a little less greasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeaway Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hello, my son has quite bad eczema especially in the warm weather and, if dry skin is an issue for you, perhaps it may be worth trying a cream we found on our first holiday to France and now use all the time. It is made by A Derma, readily available in any of the larger pharmacies and is around E10 for a large tube. It also has Avoine Rhealba on the box. The box with green writing on is great for moisturisers and bath creams while the blue box in the 'dermalibour' range is for irritated/seepy eczema. Hope thats not too much info and is of some use.

Callie Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have used aqueous cream for years as a hand cream - by far the cheapest and best. I have never found anything that is quite the same here in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
