Product Information

Very good service, always keep you informed if there is a delay in sourcing the product and prompt dispatch when available.

If you are using medicines which are also to be applied to the skin you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Hydromol Intensive as it might not be suitable to apply other topical preparations at the same time. All-purpose emollient – Apply to the affected area with a smooth stroking action in the direction of hair growth. This increases the capacity of the skin to hold moisture, and the skin therefore becomes rehydrated.However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. If you or your children need to use an emollient regularly, it's a good idea to keep some in small pots or tubes at home, school or work. Complete Emollient Therapy or CET is a way of keeping your skin properly moisturised at all times by using a combination of products liberally and frequently. If you're using Hydromol ointment in the bath or shower take care to avoid slipping, especially when getting in or out, because the ointment is likely to make the bath/shower more slippery than usual. Hydromol Intensive contains urea, which is the skin’s natural moisturiser that is found naturally in the stratum corneum and helps the skin retain its moisture.

Moisturisers are helpful for all dry skin conditions, particularly eczema, which gets worse when the skin is allowed to dry out.If you are using medicines which are also to be applied to the skin you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Hydromol Ointment as it might not be suitable to apply other topical preparations at the same time. Urea is a naturally occurring humectant, attracting water into the skin and hydrating it from the inside. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect. It is especially beneficial when used immediately afterwashing or bathing as the warmth of the skin will increase absorption.
