Frequently asked questions
Is Cetraben Moisturising Cream a steroid?
No. Cetraben is an emollient moisturiser, not a steroid or a medicine. It locks in moisture and protects dry, itchy skin, and can be used as often as needed.
How often should I apply Cetraben?
Apply it as often as required, making sure the area is fully covered. Using it regularly, and after washing while the skin is slightly damp, helps keep the skin moisturised and comfortable.
Can I use it on eczema and psoriasis?
Yes. Cetraben can be used on dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin, as well as psoriasis and dermatitis. It moisturises and protects the skin but does not cure these conditions; speak to your pharmacist or GP if they are not controlled.
Can I use it on my face?
It can be applied to the whole body. Avoid the eye area, and if you have very sensitive facial skin, do a patch test first or ask your pharmacist for advice.
Does Cetraben cure eczema?
No. An emollient does not cure eczema; it moisturises the skin, helps relieve dryness and supports the skin barrier as part of a daily routine. If your eczema is flaring or not controlled, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
Safety and storage

- Emollients can make clothing, bedding and dressings more easily flammable — keep away from naked flames and do not smoke nearby.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
