What is Hydromol Cream?
Hydromol Cream is an emollient moisturiser used to treat dry, itchy, or irritated skin. It helps soften rough patches and provides a protective layer that keeps moisture in. It's commonly recommended for eczema, dermatitis, and other dry skin conditions. Hydromol Cream is suitable for all ages, including babies, and can be used as often as needed throughout the day.
How does it work?
The cream contains two key moisturising ingredients: white soft paraffin and emulsifying wax. These help to trap water in the skin and prevent it from drying out. Regular use helps repair the skin barrier, reduce itchiness, and keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.
