Hydromol Ointment is free from fragrances, colours and preservatives and is gentle enough to use on the most sensitive of skin. By smoothing and softening the skin, moisturisers like Hydromol can improve the absorption of other medicines that are applied to the skin. This is useful in conditions like eczema, because it improves the ability of other medicines, such as corticosteroid creams, to penetrate the skin and reduce inflammation.
