Description

Zerobase Emollient Cream 500g – Pack of 2

Zerobase Emollient Cream is a moisturising skin cream used to relieve dry, itchy, and flaky skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. It helps to soften and soothe the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and comfort.

⸻

How It Works

Zerobase Emollient Cream works by forming a protective layer over the surface of the skin, which helps to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. The liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin in the cream help to soften the skin and reduce the dryness and irritation associated with various skin conditions. Regular use helps to restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier function.

Directions for Use

Apply Zerobase Emollient Cream directly to the affected areas of skin as often as needed, or as directed by your doctor. Smooth the cream gently onto the skin in the direction of hair growth to reduce the risk of blocking hair follicles. It is suitable for use in adults, children, and infants unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
