How to use this product

Always use Epaderm exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Online Pharmacy 4U pharmacist has told you. To use as a cleanser, scoop a small portion into your hands and lather in warm water, as you would with regular hand soap. Rinse and repeat when needed. 

If you require an all over body treatment, use Epaderm as a bath additive. Mix four grams (approximately the size of a heaped teaspoon) into a tumbler filled with warm water, then pour the mixture into your bath. It is important to take care when exiting the bath as the ointment may cause the bathtub to become slippery. For best results, we recommend applying Epaderm directly onto the skin to create an instant moisture barrier.

What is dry skin?

Many people have naturally dry skin, but it can also be caused by exposure to cold weather, central heating and air conditioning. Dry skin can be rough, scaly and uncomfortable, causing itchiness. To relieve this cycle it is important to use an emollient cream.

Your dry skin may also be the result of eczema, which is when your natural oils are lacking. When moisture escapes, the skin will dry and crack, allowing bacteria in. This leads to inflammation and itching, most commonly in the creases of your skin, or on your elbows and knees.

Additionally, emollient cream is effective against psoriasis, which is a chronic autoimmune skin condition and is often hereditary. It occurs due to the rapid growth of skin cells, causing plaques to form on the skin, appearing in flaky, scaly and red patches. These can be developed on any part of the body, including the scalp, hands, feet and genitals. Although there is no cure for psoriasis, the regular application of emollients, such as Epaderm, will hydrate the skin and keep it more comfortable.
