Ok, so this is something new for most of you, if not all. I wanted to talk about the cream which my mom has been using faithfully since the past 15 years and which keeps her skin fabulous. And, I have been using this cream for the past 15-20 days and I thought it would be good to share this product with you all as it is a perfect moisturizer for winters.
Price: Rs 200 for 75gms (I am guessing but it should be around that)
Ingredients
My Experience
 |
| Moisturex is recommended for the above skin problems |
It is a medicated cream and had been recommended by a doctor to my mom (don’t remember for what reason but my stuck to it coz it suited her). Now, a little bit about the cream. It is a thin consistency cream but its very very moisturizing so I would recommend it only for dry skin and mature skin and those who live in colder climates. It makes the skin oily when in humid or tropical climate. So, I am using it now a days to combat the weather and protect my skin.
And, this cream is awesome. It keeps my skin moisturized the entire day and keeps it looking supple and hydrated. This is something which I have never seen any other moisturizer do. To some extent, I’ll give Liz Earle moisturizer a benefit of doubt but otherwise, it is great!!! And, not very expensive either. And, it lasts ages, trust me!!! Since its so creamy, you need to apply a very very thin layer and I apply it in dots and rub it into the skin. If applied properly, it also makes the skin appear a little dewy and it doesn’t let the skin dry out at all so if you are suffering from broken skin or extremely dry patches, this is a cream which you should give a try.
Regarding my mom’s skin, her skin still looks flawless and its supple and so soft, seriously coz this cream makes the skin extremely soft. I think the credit of that goes to the ingredients – lactic acid and urea, both of which are supposed to be great for skin. So, give it a try 🙂
My Recommendation
I would definitely ask you to give it a try. Would be especially great for mature skin.
never heard of it..but I am combi skin..I am scared of thick creams except for massage..I do not let them be on my skin..but sounds good for dry skin..
hey :-)) …. I have nominated you for an award… check it out in my blog 🙂
@Bhumika yup this is a cream for dry skin but works well for winters especially really cold winters like in Delhi and hills!!!
Hello swati my hair is falling in huge amount and i am lossing my hair rapidly .i am just 20 years and i lost almost half of my hair soo please suggest me to regrow my lost hair

Sameera
Thanks Swati for this review.. I got this the very day you reviewed it.. I have been using it everyday & I absol love it!
Thanks a lot for sharing about this hidden gem! 😀
yea Tanveer…its an awesome cream and I am so glad you liked it too 🙂
yea good but which fashwash to use along with it
you can use any face wash which suits you.
TELL ME THE 1 WHICH HAVE SAME COMPOSITION AND IS MEDICATED CUZ THE CREAM IS HELPFUL BT THE FACE WASH MAKES MY FACE LOOK DULL N DARK
u should not apply at face because its contains urea .. u can use olesoft cream or lostion (alkem derma care..
It was good.but one doubt is it suitable for face.
hiiiiii,
as i hav already said moisturex cream turn out to b fruitfull for my dry, scally ,n flaky face cheek….the problm is since childhood which lessens in summmer bt the texture remains rough…i had tried many creams earlier bt they were useless, lastly this summer moisturex helped me get relief bt yet not totally…..the texture remains dark, dull but less stretchy thn b4……tho cetaphil cleansing lotion has some effectiv result….i want to know about the face wash tht ight fit to use before the moisturex…medicated one like the cream
then you should use either cetaphil cleanse or episoft cleanser…they both are gentle and medicated cleansers so they will not harm your skin.
my pharamcist frnd suggested this cream for dry skin… n it work wonders…n its nt tht expensive… just 110rs
oh yes, it is an amazingly effective cream 🙂
Hii mam..my skin was nice n oily bt now its dry n its pealing..can I use it
hey Shilpa. you can use it and also please check out the following posts for combating dry skin:

it might be just due to certain hormonal fluctuations, age changes, weather changes or even your diet changes. So, eat a lot of dry fruits and drink lots of water.
hi i have been looking for a cream like this for ever( i have super dry skin all over my body n face)so i want to know is it a face, hand, foot or bdy cream? and also u have mentioned that you mom has beeing using it for the past 15 years? does she use it on her face or sumwhere else and how often and what time day or night?,.the reason iam askin you is coz it contains lactic acid (AHA) and which might increase skins sensitivity to sunlight. and do you know of any body wash or facewash with similiar composition?
hasini
hey Hasini…your name reminded me of Bomarillu…don’t know if you know about the movie 🙂
you actually put out the point I had been thinking since long a time!!! she uses it only on face and neck. yes, even, I thought that repeated usage of lactic acid (especially at 10% concentration) can make her skin sensitive but she doesn’t get any sunburns and she didn’t really tan more over the years!!! yes, her face does get red when she goes out but that was there even before. so, I really have no idea how to judge if it has increased the sensitivity?
I was actually planning to do a post on the same issue but then, got lazy and left it pending!!!
but, I think the cream can be used at nights. it does make the skin very soft 🙂
recently my doc prescribed me wid moisturex for cracked nd dry soles nd i wd lk to say that it worked wonders for me as well. within 4-5 days i was having beautiful feet like babies’s!! they r so soft nd butiful….love it …..works awesome.
glad it worked so well for you, Tashrin 🙂 yes, it does make skin very soft!!!
Is the price hiked soon? Now it is rs135 for 50gm. Earlier it was rs101 for 100gm. That means around 170% price hike. Can we get in old container with low price? Is that still available?
I can’t help you with those issues!! yes, may be the price has been increased…I don’t know.
ye, its correct the packing is changed and price is too much, Now it is rs 135 for 50gm. Earlier it was rs101 for 100gm.
yes, but, its all a part of the game!!! they have to survive in the market and make profits and I would say this is still better than many other products!!! and, 50gms does last long time.
now get it in 247 for 150 gms.
yes its pretty expensive but instead of buying nivea, dove and similar cosmetic brands , this moisturizer really works and what a pride, its indian …medicated moisturizers from abroad are very expensive. this has a slightly gritty texture . i got a bottle a pout..similar to the olay 7 effects bottle. i would prefer a tin like this one ..,but don’t seem to find it…
but being someone who suffers from flaky dry psoriasis i would really recommend this one.
would like someone to compare this to cetaphil lotion that i havent tried either.
haven’t tried cetaphil yet!!! but, I am planning to get it in future 🙂
cetaphil is nice 2… penetrates easily deep into the skin leaving it really soft and smooth,,,but both r diffnt..
ohk, thanks Tashrin 🙂
isthere any alternate for this cream in less price
sorry, no idea!!!
can v get this in generic shop?
donno…depends on if the shop is stocking it. you can ask our pharmacist to bring it.
There is another cream known as ‘Healax Cream’ made by Gary Pharmaceuticals of Ludhiana should be available in the market. I just saw it on the net and hence mentioning it here. But, I dont know about its effectiveness like Moisturex as I have not used it so far. I was also looking for alternatives as Moisturex has become expensive.
thanks for the info Dinesh.
I have been using these product since last 12yrs i love the old package it used to come,but the new package design has faulty i bought a 75gm bottle designed pack which eariler used to cost under 100rs,
Unfortunately the new design have Rubber press type thing by pressing it we get the cream out,after normal use of 15days my family discovered there was no cream coming out of it & were surprised to see it finished so far,but when i opened the top mechanism i discovered that rubber was broken & there was more than 50% of the cream left.
please make the design fault changes 🙂
oh, my mom has the older package only still!!
Where can I find this cream? Is it marketed in the United States? This products sounds perfect for my scaly dry skin condition.
sorry, no idea!
U-Lac is another brand with the same constituents and it works brilliantly and its price is relatively lesser 🙂
You might be able to find U-lac in US as it is exported.
CAN ANYBODY TELL THAT HOW I HAVE TO USE THIS CREAM COZ DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BATH. MEANS WHAT I HAVE USE ON WET SKIN …? OR AFTER IT BECOMES DRY… IT LOOKS MORE OILY THAN BEFORE ON MY SKIN..
A 159gm bottle costs Rs.271. After bath one can pat dry the skin with a towel and apply this cream.One can also apply it at other times and as many times as required.a good cream for dry and itchy skin condition
Yes. Moisturex is the best cream.
Doctor suggested me to use SaBa Med cleansing shower oil instead of soap for dry skin and use Moisturex cream after shower. Can I apply Moisturex soft cream on face as well?
hi i am from nepal ,i also need this cream .can we get it in nepal ,and how much it cost nepali currency.pls mail me
hey Prasan, please ask around in your chemist stores for the product.
I hv been using this cream for my son when he was an infant for rashes he used get in winter. It’s an awesome cream. Highly recommended for dry skin.
do not use it on babies because it has lactic acid and might be too strong for baby skin.
New packing of this cream is not up to mark cream does not comes out easily out of it
Not in great pack
Packing should be improved
Pump type pack is not successful
U can also use the creme called Cotaryl for dry skin
Contains 10% lactic acid, wow im getting this
Hi, my hands had scaly psoriasis and was paining badly. Upon applying this on my fingers the dryness has reduced and the pain subsided. Great cream for cracked heals and dry skin. Price?? 190Rs for 100gm but you will not regret what you paid for. Go for it.
I have bought this cream for my dry skin today. so what about the usage? how and when should I apply it? Should I wash it after applying to my skin?
just use it like you would use any moisturizer!
Hi, I stay in a humid climate and my Dr has advised this cream for hard skin in my foot, does it work in foot also. thanks
Dear Respective,
My son has skin problem and I tried a lot to cure that but failed. Finally after six years, one of the best Doctors who is really professional in his field prescribed The Moisturex Lotion for my son, and we found out that this lotion is the really remedy for his treatment after one week usage.
The point is that, I can’t find more here in Afghanistan and I really need it.
So, if anyone of you knows about the supplies of this lotion in Afghanistan then plz contact me via E:-Zakirullah.yousufi@gmail.com or +93782630099.
thanks
sorry, no idea! you can find it online probably.
Can i use this for my 5 year old baby girl plz reply
Hi swati,
I have been using this cream after seeing such fabulous reviews about it..can you tell me if this cream has helped in skin lightening to your mom. I have heard that lactic acid causes skin lightening..I have acne scars on my face.wondering if this cream would help for lightening as well.. looking forward to your reply
hi Shweta. sorry but can not comment as she is naturally fair and we honestly do not believe in skin lightening products. love your skin as is and take care of your skin so it always is bright and glowing 🙂
If I have white patches in my hand means can I use this moisturex cream.
if by white patches you mean dry, yes this cream helps! or, if you mean different skin color then no this cream will not help!!
what do u mean by mature skin? does 21 year old also count? and is it only for face?
OMG. you are 21? you really do not need it. mature skin is above 35 usually or really damaged skin. yes, it is only for face.
will pimples, moles, white head and mark also go with this cream
no one recommended me this cream…i am using on my own..there is no risk right?
hi Shrusti. sorry for not replying earlier. so, did you use it? did you like it? btw, you MUST use sunscreen with this as it has lactic acid.
I recently got a taste of this wonderful product I never knew such a versatile product existed. my doctor recommended it 6 months back. I bought it but hardly applied. Recently my son got dry patches all over his body. my mother started having some skin problem where all her hands were covered with dry thick skin flakes and rashes. It came to my mind to use Moisturex. To my utter surprise, it not only subdued the dryness but reduced the skin disorder by 50-70% within two days.
I applied on my face and my son’s face (his lips are always dry no matter how much cream i apply or cheese I make him eat.) but with Moisturex, it became all smooth and nice. My mother was so overwhelmed because she had been really suffering (she is having recurrent problem with her skin from last 5-6 years). I recommend this cream to anyone having problem with skin and is restless.
Hello Mam, I am used this cream many years for body skin. I want know what old moisturex cream different new moisturex but both composition same
Because mam old moisturex ke dibbe pr Emollient Humectant and kerotolytic likha h but new wale dibbe pr ye nhi likha h baki compotion same hai dono ek h hai n please btana jarur
hi Mukesh. the simplest answer is that the company did a little rebranding and product packaging changes so I do not think you should worry a lot if the composition remains same!
My son s facing dry thick scaly skin from day he born…. Moisturex cream was suggested to him…When he was 3months but he cried when I applied it..So I did not applied but now he s 9 months now Iam plan to apply , started from 2days I need to no moisture x s permanent solution for ichytosis means dry scaly icthy skin…. Please reply
Hi Nandini. I am not sure if you should use this product on a baby. You should take him to a dermatologist for expert opinion before doing anything!
Thank you madam,but moisture x cream already suggested by the doctor…Iam applying it..Only during night time…But how long I need to continue to avoid my dry thick scaly icthy skin…… How to use tat cream can I use day time….How to use it for better results….With this moisture x cream we need to use any other products r procedure to get better results….
hi Nandini. yes, apply it only at night as you yourself mentioned and make sure not to expose the baby to direct sunlight. also use a moisturizer once this cream dries off, if necessary. I do not think you need to use any other products. the only change you can make is to use extremely gentle products like soap and shampoo for the baby so that harsh chemicals do not make the condition worse. you could go for handmade soaps or use organic or at least sls free brands like the body shop or some such thing. I will also ask you to check out the brand called satliva – http://satliva.com/ – and ancient living – https://www.ancientliving.in/ – the soaps are really good though a bit expensive and you could also check out sos organics, its an NGO – https://www.sosorganics.com/. also, regarding how long you have to use it, I am not the best person to answer it. it totally depends on the severity of the condition. you will have to ask the doctor about it!! I am sorry to be of no help!!
Hi madam,I had already applied Moisturex cream to my son’s body, dryness scaly start Ed getting reduced day by day….But yesterday night I was not able to apply for him ….But skin got changed one shade dark again and skin s dry and rough again…Wether I need to use cream daily….And how long I need to use it to get cure dryness scaly skin permanently………
Hi Nandini. I am so sorry for not getting back earlier. I was not well. I would say you should and must consult a doctor instead. They can give you best advise. I am not qualified for that!!
