Hydromol Ointment, 500 g For the Management of Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis and other Dry Skin Conditions

Product Information

When you apply the ointment to the skin, or use it instead of soap, these oils stay on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporating from the skin surface. Irritants and allergens can get through the skin causing water loss and decreasing the skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF). Humectants include urea, lactic acid, glycerin and sodium pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (Sodium PCA), and are substances that promote/attract moisture from within the skin. If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Other useful products include medicated bandages with a soothing agent in them like zinc, ichthammol or calamine.
