How Sudocrem Care & Protect Works
Sudocrem Care & Protect works by forming a thin, protective layer over the skin while locking in moisture. This helps prevent redness, soreness, and irritation caused by prolonged contact with urine, faeces, or friction.
Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5 promote skin regeneration and keep skin soft and supple, while lanolin provides a protective barrier against external irritants and potential infection.
