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

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.

Great cream, work wonders for getting rid of infected cuts, ingrown toe nails and more! My brother had fell and scuffed both his knees and I was scared of infection as it hadn't been healing, I remembered I had some of this, let him use some and it healed after a day or so! It's also a creamy not too thick but light cream and is a white colour but smells kind of like rubber? Worth it as it's saved me many times when infection could've occurred, every time I have a cut of wound its a pain to keep it clean but using this I haven't got an Infection in ages now!

i’ve used germolene all my life and is an item i’m never without. it’s great for spits, buts and grazes, bites and i love the comforting smell of an old fashioned product that’s never went out of fashion. at least not in my house!

Effective when used for stings /bites etc., Lovely antiseptic smell !

It's the best antiseptic cream, at a good price

Fast acting

I purchased this for a holiday and never been so pleased. I got bitten mercilessly and put a drop on each bite a few times a day and it stopped them from being infected or blistering to much. Fantastic product! Just purchased another tube. I’ll make sure it’s always in my home going forward. And never go on holiday without it.

Good product great for cuts and grazes heels them quickly. Would recommend this product. One of the best products for cuts and grazes.
