Calmurid Cream Questions & Answers

Calscale Australian design to replace Calmurid. Urea Lactate combined. Calscale.com.au

To the best of my knowledge it has been completely withdrawn worldwide. I understand 1 micro component of CALMURID was found to have possible slight carcinogenic characteristics, which has lead to the withdrawal. I have not really found a suitable replacement although DERMAL THERAPY Very Dry Skin CREAM is possibly 50% as good.

Calscale 3 years in the making is the best Calmurid replacement. Urea/Lactae same concentration. Australia made with approved WHO ingredients. Calscale.com.au

In Australia and worldwide I am certain it is discontinued and no longer made or sold anywhere. Look for other skin repair products that have at least 8%+ of urea in its make up. Nothing I have found to be as effective as CALMURID was. Sorry.

Thank you for your reply.

Try CalScale. It has replaced Calmurid. It’s great! You can get it at external link 

I've been useing Calscale. It's similar to Calmurid without the carcinogenic characteristics. 10% Urea, 5% Lactic Acid. I can see a real improvement on my eczema

It’s so hard not having this product anymore. It was a lifesaver for me. I have experimented so much and have found nothing close to it. Face theory has a glycomide cream which is 9% glycolic acid cream - that’s been the only one I could use and it’s about half as good as calmuride

Thanks Zaza87, I will try the cream. I have also been offered light therapy and was not sure if anyone has had this before and did it work?

Urea 100% Lactic Acid 50%

10% Urea, 5% lactic acid

looks like it has. I have been unable to find it

I use it on my hands for an unconventional reason. It improves my grip. I am a quadriplegic and pushing my wheelchair and picking up objects is made more difficult if my hands slip, but if I use calmuride on my hands every morning it gives me that little bit extra grip that makes all the difference, Unfortunately, I can no longer buy it.

John - I have tried a bunch of different creams to replace Calmurid since it was discontinued (even had a compound chemist make up a mixture) and they were all pretty greasy except for Plunketts Working Hands. It has that grippy texture like Calmurid did, so worth a try. It’s harder to find than some other creams but definitely available.

Looks like you cant anymore

Used to be able to get is from the chemist warehouse. Not anymore. Not sure where to get it now.

I found some today in pricline so it pays to call and ask a few pharmacies

Calmurid hand cream....Is it being discontinued?

Yes. Calmurid is Discontinued.

Plus....stay from the Hand Sanitisers- the alcohol in it strips your hands.

Look for a an alcohol free hand sanitiser.

Is there anything to replace CALMURID?

Im using HEMP oil. It works really well

Yes, I use it regularly and it is generally in stock in several different pharmacies I’ve been to in Melbourne.

I know this much- Calmurid has 10 percent Urea cream & 5 percent lactic acid. Hamiltion has 10 percent Urea cream and No lactic acid. Both are interchangeable.

In answer to dlscontinued CALMURID I'll be going to my Dr for an exact compount. No idea of the cost. Anyone got any ideas, there?

Over past few months CALMURID seems to be regularly available from various pharmacies around Melbourne.

im in the uk an cant get it anymore

Galderma told me in October they were not manufacturing Calmurid as an ingredient was a health risk (great Ive been using it daily for 50 years)Ive tried nearly everything with urea and not got any really acceptable results. Just tried Aveeno lotion, literally 2 days ago..... seems to be the best I have found so far. I hope you guys elsewhere from Europe can still get Calmurid, if not try Aveeno. I have Ichthyosis, 90% of my body since birth. If anyone has tips for new regime Im really interested.

Check out simpleskincarescience blog, f.c has done much research & has helped me on the road to healing my dehydrated skin. Seriously good reading & recommendations

Also the naked chemist has a range of skincare for that condition good luck

Yoiu can bet your bottom dollar CALMURID will be discontinued. Hence my Dr vist, and a made up compound of exactly that.

I found it available at external link 

I had a call from my local pharmacy today to say that my backorder for Calmurid had arrived. I went straight down and collected it...…. heaven!!! ps my local pharmacy is a Direct Chemist Outlet here in Victoria

Yeah I found it Chemisdiscountcentre.com.au as well

Brought 20 so far to at least keep stock levels up

I was speaking with Galderma yesterday and it is in the wholesalers warehouses now. Galderma tell me the wholesalers will fill all the pharmacy back orders first. Maybe ask your pharmacy to reorder it now and they should have it in stock within the next week or two. It has been a looooong five months without the best hand cream ever.

Thanks Ruby! I use it on my fave and have been trying to find a substitute but nothing is as good.

Hi Rain, I had a call from my local pharmacy today to say that my backorder for Calmurid had arrived. I went straight down and collected it...…. heaven!!! ps my local pharmacy is a Direct Chemist Outlet here in Victoria.

Find a froiendly Dr and get a compound made, thats what I'll be doing. Incidentally, I find that CALMURID is better than the Hamilton, the five percent lactic acid (which allows the skin to soften and drop away) is better.

Its going, going, gone, Lol! Try your Dr and a made up compound. If anyone does this, can you let us kniw (here) the cost? Tha ks.
