This 15g tube of Hydrocortisone 1% w/w cream is a "mild" topical steroid designed to treat a variety of inflammatory skin conditions. It works by changing how your body’s cells react to irritating substances, effectively "switching off" the inflammatory response.
As a generic formulation, this cream provides the same high-quality active ingredient as branded alternatives, offering a cost-effective solution for your family’s healthcare needs without compromising on efficacy.
No, you should not use over-the-counter hydrocortisone on your face unless specifically instructed by a doctor. The skin on the face is much thinner and more sensitive, and long-term steroid use can lead to skin thinning or other complications in this area.
Most users begin to feel relief from itching and see a reduction in redness within a few hours of the first application. However, it may take a few days of consistent use (up to the 7-day limit) for the inflammation to subside fully.
Yes, it is a very common treatment for mild-to-moderate eczema flare-ups. It helps break the "itch-scratch cycle." If your eczema is severe, weeping, or covers a large area of the body, please consult a healthcare professional before use.
Speak to a doctor or a member of our pharmacy team before using any topical steroid if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, so they can confirm whether it is appropriate for you.
This product is generally not recommended for children under 10 years old without a prescription. A doctor will determine if a lower dose or different treatment is more suitable for a child’s delicate skin.
