Hydromol Cream Hydromol Cream seals moisture in, helping to smooth the surface of the skin & is great for any condition where dry skin is a feature, including eczema, psoriasis, icthyosis, dermatitis & senile pruritus. Hydromol Cream is easily absorbed into the skin, is light & gentle to the touch & fragrance free. Containing sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate, it acts as a "humectant". Humectants attract water from within the lower layer of the skin (the dermis) into the upper layer of the skin (the epidermis), helping to moisturise the skin from the inside. In addition, Hydromol Cream also leaves a fine layer of emollient on the skin that helps reduce trans-epidermal water loss, & keep irritants out. Directions Apply liberally to affected area & massage into skin as often as required. Hydromol Cream is especially beneficial after bathing.
