Coal tar moisturiser

Posted Mon 5 Feb 2024 20.21 by Laidlaw1

I am using Exorex lotion with Vaseline at the moment and finding it pretty effective. I would like to use a coal tar moisturiser to go alongside it and wondered if anyone knows if one? Thanks!

Sadly, I think you might struggle to find such a thing. Around 15-20 years ago now (I forget exactly), many manufacturers removed coal-tar from their over-the-counter preparations. Wrights Coal Tar soap for example now contains zero coal-tar, and is described on the packaging as having "coal-tar fragrance".

I have applied the coal tar moisturisers at times when there was a need for the skin to be looked after and it has helped with dryness if applied as directed. I keep it out of my fragrance collection and like Baccarat Rouge Perfume for its rich and sophisticated fragrance. Typically I put moisturiser on first, then let that absorb and then I put on my perfume on top of that.
