Tips on using Hydromol

  • Apply cream / ointment as often as possible, at least 3 - 4 times a day. You cannot over-use emollients. Hydromol Intensive can be used twice daily
  • The skin is one whole organ, so you must treat the whole skin surface, not just the affected area. If in doubt, ask your doctor or nurse for advice.
  • Always use bath emollient when bathing. Air or pat dry - do not rub - and liberally apply the cream / ointment.
  • Take care when getting in and out of the shower or bath- as for most emollient bath products,  Hydromol Bath & Shower Emollient can leave bathroom surfaces more slippery than usual.
  • Even when the skin starts to improve, do not stop using emollient therapy.
  • Never be without the cream / ointment. Take some of your emollient with you wherever you go, and don’t wait until you run out to get some more.
  • You can warm or cool the cream / ointment if you need to; it may make it more acceptable to you.
  • Apply the cream / ointment in the direction of hair growth to avoid blocking hair follicles.
  • Take care with naked flames after applying any product containing paraffin liquid or wax.
