Zeroderm Ointment - 125g

Zeroderm® Ointment 125g is a very rich, occlusive emollient ointment formulated to help manage very dry, cracked and eczema-prone skin. It is suitable for a range of severe dry skin conditions including eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and ichthyosis, as well as areas of skin that require intensive protection and moisture retention.

Zeroderm® Ointment works by forming a strong protective barrier over the skin surface, helping to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. This barrier action helps to soothe itching, reduce redness and improve skin flexibility, making it particularly effective during flare-ups or for night-time use.

The formulation is fragrance-free, preservative-free, and suitable for use on both the face and body. It can be used by adults, children and infants, making it appropriate for long-term and family use where very dry skin requires ongoing care.
