How Epimax Original Cream Works

Epimax Original Cream works as an emollient rather than a medicated treatment, meaning it doesn't contain a steroid or active drug ingredient. Instead, its paraffin-based formula sits on the surface of the skin and forms a thin, occlusive layer that slows the natural loss of water through the skin.

White soft paraffin and liquid paraffin are both effective at trapping existing moisture in the skin and creating a barrier against further drying from the surrounding environment. This helps relieve the tightness, flaking and discomfort associated with eczema, psoriasis and general dry skin, without treating any underlying inflammation directly. That's why emollients like Epimax Original Cream are typically used alongside, rather than instead of, any medicated treatment a doctor has prescribed for a flare-up.

Ingredients:

  • Main ingredients: White soft paraffin 15% w/w, Liquid paraffin 6% w/w
  • Full ingredient list: White soft paraffin, cetostearyl alcohol, liquid paraffin, polysorbate 60, phenoxyethanol, water
  • Free from: SLS, lanolin, parabens, perfume, gluten

How to Use:

  • Massage into affected areas 2 – 3 times per day or as needed
  • Soften over the skin in the direction of hair growth
  • Perfect as a soap alternative–just rub on wet skin and rinse off

Epimax cream 500g is a trusted remedy for moments such as these, when skin is at its worst. Experience the long-lasting comfort of Epimax Original Cream and its benefits. Read Epimax Original Cream 500g review from happy users who rely on its quality and effectiveness day after day.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Epimax Original Cream used for?

Epimax Original Cream is an everyday emollient used to relieve dry, uncomfortable skin, including skin affected by eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions. It works by hydrating the skin and forming a protective barrier, and it can also be used as a soap substitute in the bath or shower.

2. Is Epimax Original Cream a steroid cream?

No, Epimax Original Cream is not a steroid. It's an emollient, meaning it moisturises and protects the skin rather than reducing inflammation directly. It's often used alongside a steroid or other medicated treatment a doctor has prescribed, rather than replacing one.

3. Can you use Epimax Original Cream on your face?

This needs a bit more care than it used to. Following reports of eye injuries linked to products in the Epimax range coming into contact with the eye area, the MHRA issued a Drug Safety Update in 2024, and the advice now is to take particular care to avoid any contact with the eyes when using Epimax Original Cream, and to wash your hands after applying it. If you're currently prescribed or recommended this product for facial use, it's worth checking with your doctor or pharmacist for the most current guidance before continuing, rather than relying on general product information.

4. Is Epimax Original Cream the same as E45?

They're both emollients for dry skin, but their formulations differ. Epimax Original Cream is based on white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin, while E45's formulation is built around different emollient and humectant ingredients. Which one suits you best often comes down to personal skin tolerance and preference rather than one being universally "better," so it may be worth trying a small amount of each if you're deciding between them.

5. How many times a day can you use Epimax Original Cream?

There's no fixed limit. It can be applied as often as needed. Many people use it at least once daily for ongoing dryness, and more frequently during a flare-up or in colder, drier weather. If you're using it as part of a prescribed eczema or psoriasis routine, follow whatever frequency your doctor or pharmacist has advised.

6. Is Epimax Original Cream available over the counter, or is it prescription only?

Epimax Original Cream is available both on prescription and to buy directly without one. It's classed as a medical device rather than a prescription-only medicine, so it can be bought over the counter, including from online pharmacies, as well as being prescribed by a GP for ongoing skin conditions.
