Emolene Cream 100gm
Medical Description
Emolene cream is used as a moisturizer to treat and prevent dry or rough, itchy and scaly skin or minor skin irritations. It acts as a hydro nourisher that restores the natural moisture balance. It contains propylene glycol as its active ingredient.
Propylene glycol is good for skin hydration and resolving your skin's dryness and dull appearance. The reason for skin dryness is the lack of water in the upper layer of the skin. So propylene glycol acts by forming a layer on the top of the skin and traps the moisture. Emolene cream helps in skin conditioning of the skin. Use this cream under medical supervision.
Before application, it's vital to ascertain that your skin is free from open wounds or cuts, as Emolene cream is unsuitable for such conditions. Immediate rinsing with water is crucial if the cream accidentally comes into contact with your eyes. Storing Emolene cream in a cool, dry environment helps maintain its integrity, and it's imperative to keep it out of the reach of children to prevent any inadvertent usage.
Individuals with allergies to any of the cream's ingredients should avoid its usage. Additionally, consulting your doctor before application is recommended if you're dealing with specific skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. If unfavourable reactions such as redness, swelling, or itching occur after application, discontinuing use and consulting a medical professional is essential.
