Sudocrem Moisturising Mousse & Sunscreen Mousse

Jenson has recently developed dry red patches on his skin which when I checked with the health clinic the other week, has turned out to be eczema. 
Some precautions we had been advised to follow included not using bubble bath or the body wash we were using previously, as the well known brand we have always used for him and his brother can apparently aggravate this skin condition. The other product that was suggested was a well known skin cream, which can help calm the skin and reduce the patches and make the skin look less irritated.

I had been following these precautionary measures, when I was asked to try out some new products being launched by one of the leading children's skincare specialists Sudocrem, 

One of which happens to be a Moisturising Mousse which claims dry skin relief on the outer packaging. This was perfect timing as it meant it was a product which would be suitable for Jenson's skin in particular, aswell as his brother who was very interested in the can format ("me can press it mummy"!)

The moisturising mousse contains Proderm Technology which has been specifically formulated by Sudocrem to be suitable for the delicate and sensitive skin that babies have.
What is this newfangled Proderm Technology you may be asking yourself?
Well let me tell you. It allows the mousse to cleverly imitates the composition of the skin to enable it to protect and moisturise the skin's outer layer whilst caring for it at the same time.  It creates a semi permeable membrane to allow the skin to breathe whilst at the same time, keeping  the natural moisturising balancing properties of skin to provide a soothing and effective relief. 

Sounds pretty impressive doesn't it? 
As I mentioned at the start I have been using a well known banded dry skin relief cream on Jenson's legs for the past few weeks so I was keen to see how this moisturising mousse compared. Especially as it claims to have been tested by dermatologists against a "leading dry skin relief brand" and it was shown to have" superior moisturising effect over 12 hours"

The mousse disperses very easily and does not feel greasy at all infact it is surprisingly dry to the touch for a wet mouse which moisturises! It rubs into the skin quickly and again does not leave any residue behind and both Jenson's and my skin felt supple after each application. It has been really easy to use and I haven't had to rub lots of excess cream into his skin as it is absorbed so fast! 

Priced at  £8.99 for 150ml I think this is a brilliant product that really works and does what it says on the can! Jenson seemed to like it too!

I was also sent a sample of the Sudocrem Sunscreen Mousse which has a factor 50 and four star UVA protection rating aswell as the unique Proderm Technology formulation. It is hypoallergenic and free from perfumes, colours and parabens and is suitable for use even on babies. It is also meant to be more resistant to towell drying and the water in comparison to other more conventional sunscreens.

Now given that it is not exactly sunbathing weather at the moment I haven't been able to carry out a proper review of this product in the sunshine! However, I have rubbed the mousse into my skin and again as with the moisturising mousse it is absorbed quickly and without any greasy residue. This products has a RRP of £14.99 for 150ml which I feel is competitive within the sun protection products that I am familiar with.
