Good afternoon,
Thank you for getting in touch.
I am sorry to hear that the item received was not as expected and for any discomfort experienced.
The original Diprobase formulation was discontinued in late 2021 and replaced by a new, more advanced formula called Diprobase Advanced Eczema Cream.
However it sounds like the new formula isn't working as well for you therefore you may wish to try an alternative emollient such as one of the following: Epaderm, Zerobase, Cetraben, or Epimax.
“Using Diprobase daily on my skin keeps it soft and avoids dry skin. I use it on my face and body and is especially good for the soles of my feet and other areas that are prone to dryness.”
