QV Skin Lotion - 1L
QV Skin Lotion 1L is a lightweight fragrance-free body moisturiser from Ego Pharmaceuticals, designed for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The 1-litre pump bottle is the family-size for daily all-over moisturising - paediatrician-recommended for Australian households.
QV Skin Lotion is a lightweight, fragrance-free body moisturiser from Ego Pharmaceuticals, Australia's leading sensitive-skin brand. The 1-litre pump bottle is the family size for daily all-over moisturising of dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, and it is safe for newborns through to the elderly.
Why choose QV Skin Lotion
What it leaves out is the reason people switch to it. Fragrance-free, dye-free, lanolin-free, paraben-free, soap-free, alcohol-free and SLS-free - fragrance in particular is one of the most common triggers of contact irritation, and it is in most supermarket lotions. For a household where more than one person reacts to fragranced products, one pharmacy-grade hypoallergenic bottle replaces several.
It is lightweight and fast-absorbing, and not greasy under clothing, which sounds cosmetic but is the single biggest factor in whether a moisturiser is actually used every day. Dry and eczema-prone skin improves with consistent daily application; a heavy cream that leaves people waiting to get dressed gets skipped, and skipped moisturiser does nothing.
The ingredients are unglamorous and effective. Glycerin is a humectant that draws water into the skin, and light liquid paraffin helps hold it there - the same two-part logic behind every good emollient. It is widely recommended by Australian paediatricians, dermatologists and child health nurses, and the 1L pump is the most economical QV format for whole-body daily use.

Common uses
Households buy the litre because everyone ends up using it - a baby with dry patches, a child with eczema, an adult reacting to a supermarket lotion, and older skin that has thinned. Where skin needs more than daily maintenance, QV Ceramides Cream is the richer barrier-repair option for problem areas, and the lotion still covers the rest of the body. Washing matters as much as moisturising: QV Gentle Wash replaces soap, which strips the barrier the lotion is protecting. See the full Ego Pharmaceuticals range.
QV Skin Lotion FAQs
Is QV Skin Lotion safe for babies?
It is suitable for newborns, children, adults and the elderly. It is fragrance-free, dye-free and lanolin-free, which is why it is widely recommended by Australian paediatricians and child health nurses for infant dry skin. Check with your health nurse or doctor for a newborn with a significant skin condition.
Is it suitable for eczema-prone skin?
It is formulated for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, and daily moisturising is a core part of eczema management. It supports the skin barrier but does not treat active eczema - it is used alongside, not instead of, any treatment your doctor has prescribed.
Lotion or cream - which should I use?
The lotion is lightweight and fast-absorbing, which suits daily all-over moisturising and makes it easy to keep up. A richer cream suits skin that is badly compromised, or areas like hands and feet. Many households use the lotion daily and a cream on the difficult spots.
Why does fragrance-free matter?
Fragrance is among the most common causes of contact irritation, and it is present in most supermarket lotions. Removing it - along with dye, lanolin and parabens - is what makes a product usable by people whose skin reacts, which is the point of a hypoallergenic pharmacy formula.
How often should I apply it?
Daily, and more often on very dry skin. The best time is straight after showering while skin is still slightly damp, which traps that moisture in. Consistency matters far more than quantity - a lotion applied every day outperforms a richer cream applied occasionally.
Why the 1 litre pump?
It is the most economical QV format and the practical one for whole-body daily use by more than one person. The pump also keeps the product cleaner than a tub that everyone puts their hands into.
For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. A moisturiser supports the skin barrier and does not treat active eczema, dermatitis or infection, and is not a substitute for treatment prescribed by your doctor. Seek medical advice for skin that is cracked, weeping or infected, for eczema that is not controlled by regular moisturising, and for any new or spreading rash.
