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

Excellent value!! Works great and non greasy.

Stopped my insect bites from getting infected, and nipped the early signs of an infection in my toe in the bud entirely! This is a brilliant product - miracle stuff! I cannot recommend this highly enough!

I have been using Germolene since my 1960s childhood.It was a staple in the SWW and invented at the start of last century.It numbs pain and is effective against blisters,cuts,bruises,scalds,stings and grazes.What has stunned me is that I bought it recently for a minor graze.I applied it to spots and a lump on my forehead which had been unsightly for 20 years.Remarkably they have diminished. Rival antiseptic creams were soothing but ineffective.I always have it in my shopping bag..

Great ointment ,very good for infections injuries ect

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.

I have brought Germaine for as long as I can remember. I find it to be a fantastic antiseptic cream and it also seems to have a very slight numbing effect. I can highly recommend it.

Used it for years, decent price.

Works on practically any wounds, bites etc. Have used it for many many years and still the best in my opinion!
