Molecule Description
Propylene Glycol is a gentle moisturiser used to relieve dry, rough, and irritated skin. It works by adding moisture to the skin and reducing water loss, which helps keep the skin soft and comfortable. Propylene glycol acts as a humectant that attracts and holds water in the upper layers of the skin, improving hydration and skin texture.
This medicine is commonly used for everyday dry skin conditions, itchiness, scaling, and dull-looking skin. When used as advised by a doctor, it may also be helpful for people with acne-prone or sensitive skin who need a non-greasy moisturiser. Regular use helps restore the skin's natural moisture balance and prevents further dryness.
To use Propylene Glycol, gently clean the affected area with a mild cleanser and apply a thin layer of the medicine, massaging it softly into the skin. It is meant for external use only and should not be applied on open wounds, cuts, or broken skin. For best results, follow the frequency and duration recommended by your dermatologist.
Propylene Glycol is generally well tolerated, but some people with very sensitive skin may experience mild irritation, redness, or itching. If the medicine gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. Stop using it and consult a doctor if you notice any unusual skin reactions. Always seek medical advice if you have persistent skin problems or known allergies to any of the ingredients.
