Epaderm Cream 50g

Dry skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis, result from a lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells, known as the stratum corneum. This dehydration leads to a loss of flexibility, causing the skin to become cracked, scaly, and often itchy. Factors like ageing and washing with hot water and soap can worsen this by stripping the skin's natural oil layer.

How Epaderm Cream 50g Works

Epaderm Cream 50g helps to combat dry skin by providing a protective layer of oil on the skin's surface, preventing water from evaporating. This effectively restores the skin's smoothness, softness, and flexibility by helping it retain moisture. Its unique blend of yellow soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, and emulsifying wax creates a rich, greasy moisturiser without any active medicinal ingredients, making it gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.

Versatile 3-in-1 Emollient for Comprehensive Care

Epaderm Cream 50g is designed for multifaceted use, providing continuous hydration and support:

• As a Leave-on Moisturiser: Apply frequently to the skin to prevent dryness and maintain moisture, especially beneficial for ongoing management of chronic conditions.
• As a Soap Substitute: Its emollient properties make it an ideal alternative to conventional soaps, which can often dry out sensitive skin. Using Epaderm Cream 50g for washing helps to cleanse the skin while preserving its natural moisture barrier.
• As a Bath Additive: Add a small amount to bath water to create a soothing, moisturising soak, helping to hydrate the skin all over. After bathing, gently pat the skin dry rather than rubbing, to ensure the emollient layer remains intact.

Regular use of Epaderm Cream 50g, even once skin symptoms have improved, can significantly help in preventing flare-ups of dry skin conditions, promoting long-term skin health and comfort. Choose Epaderm Cream 50g for trusted, gentle, and effective skin hydration.

Epaderm Cream 50g is a versatile 3-in-1 product that can be used in several ways:

• As a Moisturiser: Apply generously and frequently to the affected areas of skin, smoothing it in the direction of hair growth. For best results, use regularly throughout the day.
• As a Soap Substitute: Use Epaderm Cream 50g instead of your regular soap or shower gel. Lather a small amount with warm water and use to cleanse the skin. Rinse off thoroughly and gently pat the skin dry with a soft towel, avoiding harsh rubbing.
• As a Bath Additive: Melt 4g (about a teaspoon) of Epaderm Cream 50g in a cup of hot water. Add this mixture to your bath water and stir. Bathe for 10-20 minutes, then pat your skin dry. Be careful as the bath may become slippery.

In conditions such as eczema, using a moisturiser regularly, even once the skin has improved, can help prevent flare-ups of this condition.
