Just received my Hydromol ointment today, I LOVE IT!

Thank you so much to Caroline, Justine and everyone else that recommended it. It's the one!!! it does have a Vaseline like feel to it which I love, it acts a barrier without feeling wet, haven't been this comfy for months 😊
My husband laughs and says not another cream, I have tried most now, but this is the best one ever, no need to look anymore.
Thank you girls I could hug you ??

WOO HOO ! THAT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR. In UK you can get it prescribed by your doctor. I get a kilo tub prescribed and them decant into smaller tubs.
Hey, I didn't know Hydromol did shower gel. Does it lather at all ? If so I'm going to get some asap. Onwards and upwards Heather 😉 x

Ah no sadly doesn't lather, it's a bit like showering in oil...lol but hey my skin is nice and soft.
Im in the UK too, but my doctor gives me Dermol, I use it to remove my makeup so that shows that it's not very moisturising...lol I wonder if he would change it for Hydromol next time. 😳

I use AVEENO body wash at the moment and get on fine with that. I just never feel clean with the oils/ emollient for washing.
I'm sure your Dr will, just say you don't get on with the Dermol, have tried the Hydromol and would like to change. Good luck hon xx

Hi Heather
Glad to hear you've had good results using the Hydromol. Ive just ordered some from Amazon as a result of a recommendation on this great forum. Can't wait for it to arrive and start using it and hopefully get some relief from this pesky irritating condition.

I was so interested to read your post.
Since I was diagnosed with LS I have always used E45 emollient body wash and I always feel sore after using it. I see that the product you use is called Hydromol, but is it the bath & shower emollient or the tub of ointment?
Many thanks.

As Justine says, you can use the tub of ointment for all the tasks, there is a good youtube video of a doctor using it.
However I have all 3 types of Hydromol, bath and shower Emollient, which is like an oil. I have the Hydromol cream for my body to tackle my dry skin.which I've been using for months.
I only received the ointment tub today, I didn't realise it was so different to the cream, that I use for down below, it's a lot thicker than the other ones I've used and stays in place a lot longer giving you more relief. I might try it for showering now so I don't have so many different products. X

Do you use the ointment instead of steroid cream or as well as?

Have decided to order a tub of the ointment and give it a try for washing down there - certainly can't be as bad as the E45 emollient wash I have been using for years.
Must say that the ingredients of Hydromol sound a little offputting, but from the reviews on here it seems to work.
I decided to try the ointment instead of the bath & shower emollient as it seems to be suitable for both "wet and dry" use if you see what I mean, which is more practical.
Was going to order it from Amazon, but there seem to be cheaper sellers on Ebay.
