Epaderm Ointment 500g - for the management of eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions.
Details
What is Epaderm Cream used for?
Epaderm Ointment 500g is a 3-in-1 emollient, bath additive and skin cleanser for the treatment of eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions. It contains no fragrances, colourings or additives.
Epaderm Ointment 500g can also be used as a soap substitute to prevent drying of the skin, or as a moisturising bath additive, or as a normal moisturiser. It works by creating a layer of oil on the surface of the skin and preventing water evaporation from the surface of the skin to help treat eczema, psoriasis, and other dry conditions.
Epaderm Ointment 500g is made from powerful ingredients for intense hydration.

Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying Epaderm Ointment 500g, which can be used in three ways:
Emollient: Apply to the skin as often as required.
Skin Cleanser: Use as required when washing or in the shower.
Bath additive: Melt a little Epaderm Ointment 500g in a container of hot water and shake to mix thoroughly. Allow to cool and add to the bath but please be careful as this will make the bath surface slippery. After bathing, gently pat skin dry with a soft clean towel.
