Hydromol Ointment 125g

When you're dealing with persistently very dry skin or skin prone to itching, finding the right support is crucial. Hydromol Ointment 125g offers a multi-purpose solution, designed to moisturise, soften, and protect your skin. Its unique occlusive formula creates a barrier that locks in moisture, preventing further dryness and irritation. This makes it an ideal choice for managing severe dry skin conditions and providing intensive skin nourishment.

Intensive Moisturising Ointment for Persistent Dryness

This versatile Hydromol Ointment 125g can be used as a daily emollient, providing intensive moisturising relief for persistent dryness. Its rich texture makes it particularly beneficial for use as a night treatment, allowing it to deeply nourish your skin while you sleep. For those with particularly sensitive skin, its fragrance-free skin cream formulation, free from added colours and preservatives, minimises the risk of irritation, making it an ideal choice for sensitive, reactive skin.

How Hydromol Ointment Can Help Your Skin:

• Deep Hydration: Ingredients like Emulsifying wax, Yellow Soft Paraffin, and Liquid Paraffin work together to form a protective layer, locking in natural moisture and helping to combat severe dryness.
• Gentle Cleansing: Can be used as a soap substitute, avoiding the drying effects of traditional soaps, which is especially helpful for sensitive or compromised skin.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for daily moisturising, under wet wraps, or as an enriching overnight treatment to care for skin prone to itching and flaking.
• Reduces Discomfort: Helps to alleviate the discomfort of dry, itchy skin.
• Trusted Formula: Contains key ingredients known for their emollient properties, helping to restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier.

Hydromol Ointment 125g should be massaged into the skin as often as required. It may also be added to the bath by first melting it with hot water.

• As a leave-on emollient: Apply liberally and gently massage into the affected areas of skin as often as needed, especially after bathing or showering, to lock in moisture.
• As a bath additive: Melt a small amount (e.g., 1-2 teaspoonfuls) in a cup of hot water and add to the bathwater. Take care when entering and exiting the bath, as the surface will become slippery.
