Treating Adult Dry Skin Conditions

Eczema and dry skin conditions often need something more effective than a cosmetic moisturiser. The treatments most often used by doctors are emollients, which offer a proven therapeutic effect.

Emollients leave an oily film on the surface of the skin. This reduces moisture loss, thus rehydrating the skin and helping to prevent further moisture loss. Roughness and scaling are reduced, and itching and irritation are relieved.

Emollients, such as OILATUM, are available in a range of formulations to suit different dry skin conditions.
