Shop Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream 125g For Nappy Rash, Ezcema & Surface Wounds

Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream 125g is a compact size of this well-known multi-purpose cream, a practical choice if you're trying Sudocrem for the first time or want a size that fits easily in a cupboard, bag or bathroom cabinet without committing to a larger tub. It's licensed to treat eight skin conditions, nappy rash, eczema, acne, cuts and grazes, minor burns, sunburn, bedsores and chilblains, so despite its smaller size it covers the same breadth of everyday skin complaints as the larger tubs.

It's an antiseptic cream built around zinc oxide as its main active ingredient, combined with hypoallergenic lanolin and a trio of benzyl-based ingredients for mild antiseptic and anaesthetic action. At 125g, it suits anyone wanting to keep a tub specifically for travel, a change bag, or a smaller household that won't get through a bigger size before it's time to replace it.

Key Features:

  • Treats 8 skin conditions. One compact tub for nappy rash, eczema, acne, cuts and grazes, minor burns, sunburn, bedsores and chilblains.
  • Zinc oxide based antiseptic cream. Built around zinc oxide, with hypoallergenic lanolin and benzyl-based ingredients for antiseptic and mild anaesthetic action.
  • Practical compact size. Easy to keep in a change bag, travel kit, or smaller bathroom cabinet.
  • Suitable for all ages. Gentle enough to use from birth, and just as suitable for older children and adults.
  • UK's number one nappy rash cream. Trusted by parents for over 90 years.

How Sudocrem Works

Sudocrem's formula combines a handful of active ingredients, each contributing something different to how it treats the skin.

Zinc oxide, at 15.29% w/w, is the largest active component and helps reduce fluid loss from the skin while supporting the skin's own barrier as it heals. Hypoallergenic lanolin acts as an emollient, softening the skin and relieving dryness or irritation. Benzyl alcohol, together with benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate, gives the cream its mild local anaesthetic and antiseptic properties, which is why it tends to ease discomfort alongside treating the skin condition itself.

Together, these ingredients form a protective, breathable barrier over the affected skin, helping shield it from further irritation while reducing redness and swelling as it heals underneath.

  • Active ingredients: Zinc oxide 15.29%, Benzyl alcohol 0.39%, Benzyl benzoate 1.02%, Benzyl cinnamate 0.15%, Lanolin (hypoallergenic) 4.02%

  3. Keep away from the eyes, nose and mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is Sudocrem used for infections, or is it an antibacterial?

Sudocrem has mild antiseptic properties, but it isn't an antibiotic and shouldn't be relied on to treat an active skin infection. Its benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate content gives it antiseptic action that can help prevent minor cuts or grazes from becoming infected, but if you already have signs of infection, such as spreading redness, heat, swelling, pus or a fever, see a doctor or pharmacist rather than treating it with Sudocrem alone.

2. Can Sudocrem be used for acne, including on the back or face?

Yes, acne is one of Sudocrem's eight licensed uses, and this isn't limited to one part of the body. The usual thin-layer application applies wherever the acne is, whether that's the face or the back, keeping it away from the eyes, nose and mouth as normal. For widespread or severe acne, it's still worth getting advice from a pharmacist or doctor, since there may be more targeted treatments available.

3. Can you leave Sudocrem on overnight?

Yes, there's no restriction on leaving Sudocrem on overnight. Many people apply it before bed as part of their usual routine, for example on a nappy rash or a spot, and simply reapply the next day if needed. Just keep it away from bedding or clothing you'd be concerned about marking, and remember it's flammable once dried onto fabric.

4. Can you apply too much Sudocrem?

Using more than needed won't make it work faster, and a thin layer is all that's required. Applying a thick layer doesn't improve how well it works and just wastes product, so stick to a thin, even covering as often as the affected area needs it.

5. Is Sudocrem good for minor burns and sunburn?

Yes, minor burns and sunburn are both among Sudocrem's eight licensed uses. It's worth noting this applies to minor burns and surface-level sunburn only. Larger, deeper, or more severe burns need proper medical attention rather than an over-the-counter cream.

6. How do you apply Sudocrem to the face for acne?

Apply a thin layer directly to the affected area, keeping it well away from the eyes, nose and mouth. There's no special technique needed beyond the usual thin-layer application, though it's worth patch-testing on a small area first if you haven't used it on your face before, since facial skin can be more sensitive than the rest of the body.
