Germolene Antiseptic Cream with Local Anaesthetic 30g – Dual Action Cream to Prevent Infection & Numb Pain – For Minor Cuts, Grazes, Burns, Stings & Skin Irritation

Germolene is great to have in the cupboard for cuts, spots etc. Good price and fast delivery

Quite honestly because it’s a nice thick cream, which makes it easy to apply. It contains an ingredient that you will feel numb the pain fast - while the other ingredients work to help protect against infection and speed up the healing process. It’s important you don’t just use this cream and stick a plaster on, then leave it for days - after a few hours the cream loses its ability to fight bacteria and under the plaster it can become a breeding ground for bacteria. So your best bet is to ensure that at least once a day you take off the plaster, gently wash the area with warm clean water, apply a thin layer of cream (no need to go mad, a dab will do!) and then put on a fresh plaster. A breathable one such as Leukoplast are best, though the adhesive isn’t the strongest - though this can be good, as it reminds you to tend to the wound as it’s healing. Whenever choosing a cream for minor cuts and scrapes, it’s always best to chose one like this that contains a pain-killing/numbing agent like lidocaine, and Germoline is my go-to for that reason. If I had to pick a negative side it would be the smell, I actually quite like it but some people think it smells a little chemically - but the smell isn’t strong, we’re not talking TCP levels of smell but rather like toothpaste - you can smell it only while you’re using it. Once you’ve covered the area with a plaster or if you’re just rubbing it into the skin, once it’s been absorbed the smell is gone. I have no other negatives as this is in my opinion, the best antiseptic cream on the market.

My young daughter loved this very established cream for cuts scrapes and sore places I preferd another brand. But I didn't have any of my brand and my ankle was sore hot itchy and inflamed. I thought the worst. Friends are bandaged and weeping sores on their legs. But I just used the tube of Germolene I was instantly not itchy the pain was gone and the redness and inflammation disappeared. It worked for me hopefully it will for many more people.

Fit for purpose
