Hi all

Been reading through all the Radiotherapy paraphernalia given ...density sensor lekky  razor on order....any  suggestions on affordable alcohol free moisturisers?

Stopped using aftershave many years ago...all my moisturising after shave lotions seem to contain alcohol ...even Aveeno Oatmeal  and  Epimax Oatmeal.

Thanks

  • Hi Peter

    I was given E45 by the hospital (on prescription). That could be an option? I think aloe vera is another option, but you'd have to buy that yourself.

    Hope you get sorted

    Thanks Shirley.....

    I still have some Aloe Vera after sun left...will look it out to see if it is kosher...alcohol free.

    E45 on meds prescription would be handy...Cancer is an expensive business for patients....and NHS.

    No that’s not the stuff you need 

    Get some pure aloe vera gel like this

  • Hi Peter,

    Husband was given a large pump action E45 which lasted through treatment and got a tub on prescription.  You can't use too much of it, so slather it on!  I bought organic Aloe Vera gel which we got from Holland and Barratt which was on offer at the time (one of those buy second for 1p or buy one get one half price).

    hope you find something that suits!
