E45 Itch Relief Cream is an over-the-counter dual-action anti-itch and moisturizing cream. Each 50g tube contains two active ingredients: Lauromacrogols (3% w/w) and Urea (5% w/w) in a smooth, non-greasy cream formulation.
Applied topically to the skin, adults and children aged 1 month and older use it for the fast relief of itching and severe skin dryness caused by eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, pruritus, and dry skin conditions.
E45 Itch Relief Cream treats both the symptom (itching) and the underlying cause (dry, damaged skin barrier):
Lauromacrogols (Topical Anti-Itch Agent): Acts as a mild local anesthetic on the skin surface, numbing sensitive nerve endings to rapidly stop the urge to scratch.
Urea (Natural Moisturizing Factor): A potent humectant naturally found in healthy skin that draws water deep into the skin cells, restoring hydration and repairing the skin's protective barrier.
Reduces Itch-Scratch Cycle: Breaking the constant urge to scratch helps prevent secondary skin infections, raw lesions, and further skin inflammation.
🚨 Mild Stinging Notice: May cause a mild, temporary burning or stinging sensation if applied to raw, broken, cracked, or severely inflamed skin.
If intense stinging or irritation occurs, wipe the cream off gently and consult your pharmacist or doctor.
For External Skin Use Only: Apply strictly to intact or mildly dry/itchy skin. Do NOT apply to open wounds, infected skin, eyes, inside the nose, or delicate intimate areas.
Paraffin Flammability Warning: Although E45 Cream is safe, clothing, bedding, or dressings that come into contact with cream-treated skin absorb fats and can ignite more easily if exposed to open flames or lit cigarettes. Wash clothing and bedding regularly.
Age Limit: Suitable for adults, elderly individuals, and infants aged 1 month and older.
Application: Smooth a thin layer gently over the affected itchy or dry skin areas.
Do Not Rub Harshly: Massage gently into the skin until completely absorbed.
Frequency: Apply 2 times daily, or as recommended by your doctor or pharmacist.
Clean Hands: Wash your hands after application (unless treating the skin on your hands).
E45 Itch Relief Cream is dermatologically tested and well-tolerated, but minor skin reactions can occasionally occur:
Temporary mild stinging, burning, or redness upon application (especially on dry, cracked skin).
Allergic skin reactions (such as contact dermatitis or rash) in people sensitive to lauryl macrogols or preservatives.
How quickly does E45 Itch Relief Cream stop itching?
Because lauromacrogols work on contact with surface skin nerves, most people begin to feel noticeable relief from itching within a few minutes of application.
Is this cream a steroid?
No! E45 Itch Relief Cream is completely steroid-free. It uses a combination of an anti-pruritic (anti-itch) agent and a moisturizing agent, making it safe for daily use without the side effects associated with topical steroids.
How should I store this tube safely?
Keep the tube tightly capped in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
