DESCRIPTION
Aqueous cream is the plainest thing in a pharmacy and does three jobs at once. Home Essentials list it on the label as a moisturiser, a shaving cream substitute and a soap-free cleanser for dry and sensitive skin - non-greasy, fast absorbing, hypoallergenic and pH balanced. That last part matters if soap leaves your skin tight. Used as a cleanser it goes on dry and rinses off; used as a moisturiser it sinks in without the film heavier creams leave. Unscented, unfussy and cheap enough to use generously. The 100g tube suits a bag or a bathroom shelf.
