QV Cream 500g is a rich, protective moisturising cream that replenishes the skin and helps hydrate dry areas. It contains squalene, a natural component of the skin's own oil. It is pH balanced and low-irritant, free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol, and it is vegan friendly - the 500g tub is the size for daily whole-body use.
Why choose QV Cream 500g
The active idea here is squalene, which is not an added extra but something the skin already makes as part of its natural oil. Replacing it is why the cream works as a protective barrier that seals in natural moisture rather than simply sitting on the surface - the difference between hydration that lasts and a cream that feels nice for an hour.
It is deliberately rich, which is what makes it the right choice for the places that actually crack: elbows, knees and hands. QV Cream 500g is also suitable for skin conditions - dry scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis - and for sensitive skin, infants and the elderly, which is a genuinely wide brief for one tub.
The exclusions are the reason it suits reactive skin: no fragrance, colour, lanolin or propylene glycol, and pH balanced. Those four are among the most common causes of a moisturiser making things worse. Apply it as often as needed, and particularly after bathing, showering, shaving, or exposure to harsh weather - the moments when the barrier has just been stripped.

Common uses
QV Cream 500g is bought for elbows, knees and hands above all, along with winter dryness and eczema-prone skin across the household - and the 500g tub is what makes daily whole-body use affordable. For a smaller tub to keep at work or in a bag, QV Cream 100g is the same formulation in a portable size. Where you want something lighter and faster-absorbing for everyday maintenance, QV Skin Lotion 1L is the pump-bottle option. See the full Ego Pharmaceuticals range.
QV Cream 500g FAQs
What is squalene and why does it matter?
Squalene is a natural component of the skin's own oil. Including it means the cream works with the skin's existing barrier rather than just coating it, which is what allows it to seal in natural moisture and protect against ongoing dryness.
Is it suitable for eczema or psoriasis?
It is suitable for skin conditions including dry scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It supports and protects the barrier - it does not treat an active flare, so use it alongside any treatment your doctor has prescribed rather than in place of it.
Can I use it on a baby or on elderly skin?
Yes - it is suitable for infants and for the elderly, and for sensitive skin generally. That comes from the low-irritant, pH balanced formulation and the absence of fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol.
When is the best time to apply it?
As often as required, and particularly after bathing, showering or shaving, and after exposure to harsh weather. Those are the moments the skin barrier has just been stripped, so applying while skin is still slightly damp traps the moisture in.
Is QV Cream 500g better as a cream or a lotion?
The cream is rich and protective, which suits cracked or very dry areas such as elbows, knees and hands, and overnight use. A lotion is lighter and absorbs faster, which suits daily all-over maintenance. Many households use both.
Is it vegan?
Yes - it contains no animal derived ingredients. It is also free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol.
For external use only. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. A moisturiser supports the skin barrier and is not a substitute for treatment prescribed by your doctor for eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or infection. Seek medical advice for skin that is cracked, weeping or infected, or for a condition that is not responding to regular moisturising.
