Hydromol has established itself in households in the UK and around the world as a leading brand for skincare treatment. The company’s products range from creams to ointments that aim to treat troublesome skin conditions that negatively afflict individuals on a long and short-term basis. Hydromol’s products offer soothing and relief from arbitrary conditions such as dry skin to more serious cases such as eczema. Hydromol’s products all contain emollients. This is a moisturizing oil that forms a protective barrier over the skin, holding in the moisture and flushing irritants out. Emollients also help in restoring your skin’s natural defenses.
- The Hydromol Ointment
Soft to the touch and easily rubbed into the skin, this ointment is a great treatment option for the management of eczema, psoriasis, and other dry skin conditions. The ointment is meant to be used liberally and serves as a 3 in 1 all-purpose emollient, leaving a protective barrier to lock moisture into the skin. This ointment can also be used as a soap alternative, and easily dissolves into warm bathwater. This is suitable for all ages and is SLS-free. The ointment contains yellow soft paraffin and should be kept away from open flames along with skin that has been applied with it.
- The Hydromol Cream
A light and gentle cream that locks in moisture resulting in hydrated, smoother skin. This moisturizing cream contains sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate. This compound draws moisture into the skin from its surrounding environments and atmosphere, therefore increasing the hydration levels of the skin. The cream is fragrance-free and is recommended to be applied after bathing to maximize absorption into the skin. It is suitable for individuals of all ages and should be applied liberally to affected areas of the skin. It is not recommended to use this product if you are allergic to any of its ingredients which could cause dermatitis.
- Hydromol Intensive Cream
Used to treat very dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, keratosis, and others. This cream contains 10% urea, which is an important feature of the skin’s own natural ability to self-hydrate. Urea occurs naturally in the skin and draws in moisture to the epidermis from the inside. It is recommended to use this cream twice a day sparingly on affected areas. The cream acts as an intensive moisturizer, soothing itchiness from affected areas. The cream may cause irritation and discomfort when used on sensitive or wounded skin. Hydromol’s Intensive Cream is also fragrance and SLS-free.
- Bath & Shower Emollient
Also used as a soap alternative, this product contains emollient oils that fully diffuse into warm water. It is recommended to use this at least once a day in the bath or shower. This product is used to assist with the treatment of dry skin conditions such as eczema and ichthyosis by infusing emollients into the skin. The emollients will keep moisture from leaving the skin and prevent irritants from entering. This product is suitable for all ages and is available in 3 different sizes ranging from 350ml, 500ml, and 1-liter bottles that can be found at all pharmacies in the UK.
