Created by an NHS nurse
Antonia Philp, who appeared on Dragons' Den with her product Nursem, revealed that her 'hands at times bled' as she'd washed them '50-60 times a day'. The Nursem Caring Hand Cream Fragrance Free features an ultra gentle formula developed for sensitive, dry and eczema prone skin. It has been approved by consultant dermatologists, helping to soothe, protect and nourish the hands.
Fast absorbing and fragrance free, it provides long lasting hydration without a greasy feeling. The product is trusted by healthcare professionals and customers alike.
Shopper reviews
One shopper said: "Does the best job of nourishing your skin. Fabulous." Another commented: "Absolutely fantastic product. My son has had recurring issues with his hands washing to much due to his OCD and Autism. For over a year back and forward to our GP trying different creams (none worked at all). Seen this cream on Amazon and thought well let’s give it a try, unbelievable within a week his hand is improved tremendously. We are absolutely delighted, if you're having skin issues buy this, you won’t be disappointed at all. Super value for money too."
A third reviewer wrote: "Best for psoriasis and eczema. I have used Nursem products a lot in the past for my psoriasis and eczema flare ups, it's the best out there!"
One user, who found the product pricey but still gave five stars, said: "This was bought for my other half who has really bad hands as she is a nurse, this product took a couple of weeks to notice but her hands now are ridiculously better than they were before. Yes it’s a bit expensive but it’s worth it for what it’s done to help my other half’s hands."
Another commented: "At first glance, I thought this cream wouldn't work because it seemed watery in consistency/application, but after trying many different types of hand cream, this has been the only cream that healed my severely cracked and bleeding hands without noticeable allergic reaction. My only wish is that this was an organic product, but other than that, more than happy to repurchase."
One reviewer said: "Incredible. This cream is bloody amazing! I have suffered with psoriasis on my hands for 10 years now. I'm a keyworker so the pandemic has caused me loads of pain and sores in my hands and now it's pretty much cleared up. I can't believe it. I'm so happy."
