Description

Menthoderm 2% Menthol in Aqueous Cream 500g is expertly formulated to provide cooling relief for skin that feels hot, dry, or is prone to itching. Its unique Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) free aqueous cream base is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, helping to avoid further irritation.

Why Choose Menthoderm 2% Menthol in Aqueous Cream?

  • Cooling & Soothing Action: The 2% Menthol (w/w) concentration delivers an enhanced cooling effect, ideal for rapidly soothing irritated and itchy skin, providing quick comfort. Menthol is recognised for its local anaesthetic and counter-irritant properties, which help to alleviate discomfort.
  • SLS-Free Formula: Unlike some aqueous creams, Menthoderm is free from SLS, a common irritant, making it a gentler choice for reactive skin. This supports the natural skin barrier without causing dryness or further irritation.
  • Enhanced Protection: This cream features a unique formula with two preservatives, including Undecylenic Acid, which offers double protection and helps reduce the risk of contamination, especially beneficial for skin where hygiene may be compromised.
  • Hydrating Base: The aqueous cream base works to replenish moisture, supporting the skin barrier and helping to maintain skin hydration throughout the day.

How to Incorporate Menthoderm into Your Routine

Menthoderm is part of a range designed for various needs:

  • Menthoderm 0.5% w/w: A gentler strength suitable for children (from 2-12 years) and elderly patients.
  • Menthoderm 1% w/w: A balanced strength for general use.
  • Menthoderm 2% w/w: This enhanced strength is for general use when a stronger cooling and soothing effect is desired for skin prone to itching and irritation.

     

    Always read the label and patient information leaflet carefully before use. If symptoms persist or if you have any concerns, speak to your trusted Weldricks pharmacist for professional advice.
