The Creams & Ointments range at RemediMe covers topical preparations for dry skin, eczema, minor wounds, cold sores and everyday skin care — the kind of products that earn permanent space in a UK medicine cabinet.

What's in this range

Stocked products include Zeroderma and Hydromol emollients for eczema and dry skin, antiseptic creams from Savlon and Germolene, cold sore treatments like Virasorb aciclovir 5% and Cymex, Eight Hour Cream from Elizabeth Arden, foot care from Flexitol and CCS, and barrier preparations for sensitive skin.

Choosing the right product

For ongoing dry skin or eczema, look to an emollient like Zeroderma or Hydromol used several times a day. For broken skin, grazes or minor cuts, antiseptic creams reduce infection risk. Cold sores respond best when treated at the first tingle with an aciclovir-based cream. Heel cracks and callus benefit from urea-based formulas like Flexitol 10% or 25%.

If a skin condition isn't improving after a week or two of self-care, speak to a pharmacist. All products are over-the-counter.
