Creams feel light and cool on the skin and may be preferred for daytime use and in warmer weather. Creams are ideal for mild to moderate dry skin conditions, they’re easy to use and are well absorbed.

Choosing the right emollient - Zeroderma

Bath additives disperse easily in water and provide a soothing treatment for dry skin during bathing. They can be particularly useful for treating younger people with dry skin, like babies and children, where more regular application of emollients can be difficult. Zeroderma bath additives: Gel formulas vary from creams and they tend to be better at moisturising the skin, although it can take longer for them to absorb into the skin. Gels also contain less oil than creams so, using an emollient gel instead of soap can help to improve dry skin.

Indications: Highly moisturising emollient gel for dry skin conditions, as may be found in eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, ichthyosis, elderly pruritus, and other dry skin conditions
