Dexeryl Emollient Cream 250g

Dexeryl Cream for dry and atopic-prone skin

Dexeryl Emollient Cream from Pierre Fabre is made for skin that feels dry, tight or rough. It combines glycerol, which draws water into the skin, with white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin, which form a layer on the surface to help hold that moisture in. Dexeryl describes the cream as one that moisturises and restores the skin barrier. It's intended for dry skin in general, and for the dryness that comes with skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis.

Why choose Dexeryl Emollient Cream for dry skin:

• Glycerol plus paraffins: glycerol alongside white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin, in a cream rather than a greasy ointment.
• Fragrance-free and paraben-free: no added perfume.
• For the whole family: suitable from birth.
• Everyday use: a thin layer once or twice a day, or more often if your skin needs it, but no more than 6 times a day.
• 250g tube: a mid-sized pack.
