Description

Hydromol Ointment 500g

Hydromol Ointment is a rich emollient designed to soften, hydrate and protect dry, itchy or irritated skin. It forms a barrier on the skin to help lock in moisture and support the natural skin barrier, making it suitable for conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and other dry skin presentations.

This ointment can be used by adults, children and babies, unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional.

Eczema, Dermatitis and Dry Skin

Dry skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis often involve:

  • Itching or soreness

  • Cracked or flaky patches

  • Tightness or redness

  • Increased moisture loss through the skin

Emollients like Hydromol Ointment help by:

  • Softening dry areas

  • Reducing moisture loss

  • Supporting the skin’s protective barrier

  • Providing comfort for irritated skin

Ointments are typically more occlusive than creams, making them particularly useful for very dry or rough skin.

  • Creates a protective barrier to reduce moisture loss

  • Suitable for eczema-prone and sensitive skin

  • Can be used as often as required

How to Use Hydromol Ointment
