Infected eczema needs treatment

Product overview

About Oilatum Cream

The dermatology-ward staple: Oilatum's fragrance-free emollient cream pairs light liquid paraffin with white soft paraffin to soothe, soften and rehydrate eczema-prone and dry skin — relieving the itch by fixing the dryness that drives it. Suitable for adults and children. 150g pump-friendly tube.

How emollients actually work

Dry, eczema-prone skin leaks moisture through a damaged barrier; paraffins seal that barrier with a protective lipid film, holding water in and irritants out. Applied generously and often, emollients are the foundation of every eczema care plan — the unglamorous work that prevents the flares.

How to use

Apply liberally as often as needed — minimum twice daily for dry-skin conditions, always after washing, smoothed in the direction of hair growth. Keep using it even when skin looks good; that's what keeps it good.

Good to know

Fragrance-free and suitable for the whole family. Weeping, infected or rapidly worsening eczema needs treatment beyond emollients — see the pharmacist or GP, and keep moisturising alongside whatever they prescribe.
