What Is Atrixo Hand Cream and How Does It Help Dry Hands?
Dry, rough hands are something most of us deal with at some point — whether it's from frequent handwashing, cold weather, or simply the demands of daily life. Atrixo hand cream has been a trusted name in hand care for decades, and the Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream with Camomile 200ml is one of its most popular formulations. Available from Cured Pharmacy for just £7.89, it offers an accessible, no-fuss solution for hands that need a little extra care. If you're looking to explore a wider range of topical options, you'll find plenty of choices in our creams and ointments collection.
The cream combines emollient ingredients with camomile extract, working together to soften and soothe the skin. It's designed for everyday use and absorbs well without leaving a greasy residue — something that matters when you're applying it throughout the day.
How Does Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream Work?
Emollient creams like this one work by replenishing the skin's natural moisture barrier. When that barrier is compromised — through washing, cold air, or irritants — the skin loses water more quickly, leading to dryness, flaking, and discomfort. The NHS describes emollients as moisturising treatments that soothe and hydrate the skin, making them a first-line recommendation for dry skin conditions.
- Emollient ingredients coat the skin surface, reducing water loss through a process called transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
- Glycerin acts as a humectant, drawing moisture from the environment into the upper layers of the skin
- Camomile extract provides a soothing, anti-irritant effect, helping to calm redness and sensitivity
- The cream's occlusive properties help lock in hydration after application
Who Should Use Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream?
This cream is suitable for a wide range of people. It's particularly useful if your hands are exposed to water or detergents regularly, or if you simply struggle with persistent dryness. It's an over-the-counter product, so no prescription is needed.
- People with dry, rough, or chapped hands
- Those who wash their hands frequently (healthcare workers, parents, food handlers)
- Individuals experiencing seasonal skin dryness in autumn and winter
- Anyone looking for a gentle daily hand moisturiser

Specifications of Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream with Camomile 200ml
What Is Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream and What Is It Used For?
Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream with Camomile 200ml is a topical emollient cream used to moisturise, soften, and soothe dry, rough, or chapped hands. It is an over-the-counter product available without a prescription. The NHS recommends emollients as a core treatment for dry skin, noting that they help restore the skin's natural barrier and reduce moisture loss. This cream is intended for use on the hands and is not suitable for application to the face, eyes, or broken skin unless directed by a healthcare professional.
What Do You Need to Know Before Using Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream?
Before using this cream, read the following carefully. Most people can use it without any issues, but there are some situations where caution is needed.
Do not use this product if you:
- Are allergic to camomile, other plants in the Asteraceae family, or any other ingredient listed on the packaging
- Have open wounds, infected skin, or severely broken skin on your hands
- Have previously had an allergic reaction to a similar emollient product
Take care and speak to a pharmacist if you:
- Have a history of contact dermatitis or eczema that has been triggered by cosmetic ingredients
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding — while topical emollients are generally considered safe, it is always sensible to check with your midwife or GP
- Are using this product on a child — apply under adult supervision
Known drug interactions:
- No clinically significant drug interactions are known for topical emollient hand creams of this type
- If you are using other topical treatments on your hands (such as prescribed steroid creams), apply them separately and allow each product to absorb fully before applying the next
How Should You Use Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream?
Using this cream correctly will help you get the most benefit from it. The NHS advises applying emollients generously and regularly for best results — little and often is the key approach for dry skin management.
- Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before applying
- Squeeze a small amount of cream onto your palm
- Massage gently into the skin using circular motions, paying attention to knuckles, cuticles, and between fingers
- Allow the cream to absorb fully before touching surfaces or applying gloves
- Reapply as often as needed throughout the day, especially after washing your hands
| Indication | Age Group | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry or chapped hands | Adults | Small amount (pea to grape-sized) | As often as needed |
| Dry or chapped hands | Children (under adult supervision) | Small amount | As often as needed |
What Are the Possible Side Effects of Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream?
Side effects from topical emollient creams are uncommon, but they can occur. If you notice any of the following, stop using the product and speak to your pharmacist or GP. You might also find it helpful to explore our skin care collection for alternative formulations if this one doesn't suit you.
Common side effects:
- Mild stinging or tingling immediately after application (usually settles quickly)
- Temporary greasiness or heaviness on the skin surface
Less common side effects:
- Skin redness or irritation at the site of application
- Itching or a rash, which may indicate a sensitivity to one of the ingredients
- Allergic contact dermatitis — more likely in people with a known camomile allergy
Serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are extremely rare with topical products. However, if you experience swelling of the face, lips, or throat, or have difficulty breathing after use, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
How Should You Store Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream?
Correct storage helps maintain the quality and effectiveness of the cream. Follow these simple guidelines. If you're also storing other topical products at home, our creams and ointments collection includes a range of options with similar storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Atrixo hand cream online in the UK?
You can buy Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream with Camomile 200ml directly from Cured Pharmacy online for £7.89, with no prescription required. It is a General Sale product, meaning it is freely available over the counter. Ordering online is a convenient way to have it delivered to your door without visiting a shop.
How does Atrixo hand cream work on dry skin?
Atrixo hand cream works by combining emollient ingredients that coat the skin surface and reduce water loss, with glycerin that draws moisture into the upper skin layers. Camomile extract adds a soothing, anti-irritant effect that helps calm redness and sensitivity. Together, these ingredients help restore the skin's natural moisture barrier over time with regular use.
How do I use Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream step by step?
Start by washing and drying your hands, then squeeze a small amount of cream onto your palm and massage it gently into the skin, including knuckles, cuticles, and between fingers. Allow it to absorb fully before touching surfaces or putting on gloves. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day — particularly after washing your hands.
How often should I apply Atrixo hand cream each day?
There is no strict limit on how many times per day you can apply this cream — emollients are generally recommended to be used as often as needed. The NHS advises applying emollients generously and frequently for best results, especially after handwashing. Most people find applying it three to five times daily, or whenever hands feel dry, works well.
Can Atrixo hand cream cause any side effects?
Side effects are uncommon but can include mild stinging, temporary skin redness, or itching, particularly in people with sensitive skin or a camomile allergy. Allergic contact dermatitis is a less common but possible reaction — if you notice a rash or worsening irritation, stop using the cream and speak to your pharmacist. Serious allergic reactions are very rare with topical emollients.
Is Atrixo hand cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream is formulated to be gentle and is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have a known allergy to camomile or plants in the Asteraceae family (such as ragweed or chrysanthemums), you should check the ingredient list carefully before use. A patch test on a small area of skin before full application is always a sensible precaution.
Can I use Atrixo hand cream if I have eczema?
Emollient creams are a cornerstone of eczema management, and the NHS recommends using them regularly to keep the skin hydrated and reduce flare-ups. Atrixo hand cream may be suitable for mild dryness associated with eczema, but if you have a diagnosed eczema condition, it is best to speak to your GP or pharmacist before switching or adding products. They can advise on the most appropriate emollient for your specific skin needs.
What are the alternatives to Atrixo hand cream?
There are several alternative hand creams available for dry skin, including E45 Hand Cream, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, Aveeno Hand Cream, and O'Keeffe's Working Hands. You can browse a wider selection of moisturising options in our skin care collection. Your pharmacist can help you identify the most suitable product based on your skin type and any known sensitivities.
How long can I use Atrixo hand cream for?
Atrixo hand cream is safe for long-term, regular use as a daily moisturiser — there is no recommended maximum duration for topical emollients. Many people use emollient hand creams indefinitely as part of their daily skincare routine, particularly during colder months when skin tends to dry out more quickly. If your skin condition does not improve or worsens despite regular use, consult your GP or pharmacist.
Is Atrixo hand cream safe to use during pregnancy?
Topical emollient creams are generally considered safe to use during pregnancy, as they are applied to the skin surface and are not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream. However, it is always a good idea to check with your midwife or GP before introducing any new product during pregnancy, particularly if you have sensitive or reactive skin. They can confirm whether this cream is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Can children use Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Hand Cream?
Atrixo hand cream can be used on children under adult supervision, as topical emollients are widely used in paediatric skin care. Always apply a small amount first to check for any skin reaction, and keep the product out of reach of young children when not in use. If your child has a diagnosed skin condition such as eczema, speak to their GP before using any new topical product.
Does Atrixo hand cream contain any allergens I should know about?
The key ingredient to be aware of is camomile extract, which belongs to the Asteraceae plant family — people with allergies to plants in this family (including ragweed, marigold, or chrysanthemum) may react to it. Always read the full ingredient list on the packaging before use, and perform a patch test if you have a history of contact allergies. If you are unsure, your pharmacist can help you assess whether this product is suitable.
What happens if I accidentally get Atrixo hand cream in my eyes?
If the cream comes into contact with your eyes, rinse them immediately and thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water for several minutes. This product is not intended for use around the eyes, and contact may cause temporary irritation or discomfort. If irritation persists after rinsing, seek advice from a pharmacist or visit your nearest eye care service — you can also find relevant products in our eye care collection.
What are the latest findings on camomile in skin care?
Camomile extract has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, with research suggesting it can help reduce redness and irritation in topical formulations. It contains active compounds such as bisabolol and apigenin, which are thought to contribute to its calming effect on the skin. While it is not a treatment for clinical skin conditions, it is a well-established ingredient in over-the-counter moisturising products.
Can I use Atrixo hand cream alongside other hand treatments or prescribed creams?
Yes, but if you are using a prescribed topical treatment such as a steroid cream, you should apply them separately and allow each product to absorb fully before applying the next — typically waiting at least 30 minutes between applications. This prevents the products from diluting each other and ensures each one works as intended. If you are unsure about the order of application, ask your pharmacist for guidance. You can also explore our creams and ointments collection for complementary products.
