Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream 0.05% 15g

Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream works deep within the skin to help break the itch-scratch cycle and can clear skin flare-up in as little as 5 days. It contains clobetasone butyrate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching present in dermatitis and eczema.

 If you have a patch of skin that is itchy, red and dry and you just can't stop scratching, then you could be suffering from skin flare-up. This is a common name for the skin condition medically referred to as eczema or dermatitis.

When your eczema or dermatitis flares up, the constant cycle of itching and scratching can leave you feeling extremely frustrated. That’s where Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream can help. Nothing is more effective without prescription at relieving the discomfort of itchy, red, dry skin - in fact 9 out of 10 users with eczema or dermatitis would recommend it to a friend.

When your skin becomes irritated, chemicals in the skin cells are released which cause the blood vessels to widen and make the skin red and itchy. Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream stops the release of these chemicals, actively soothing and treating the inflammation, and can help to break the itch-scratch cycle in just 3 days.

Adults and children aged 12 years and over: 

Apply Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream sparingly to the affected area twice a day. 

Do not use for longer than 7 days. 

As a guide, for a patch of skin flare-up the size of the palm of your hand, you need to use enough cream to cover half a fingertip.
