Oilatum Intense Moisturizing Cream 200ml

Oilatum Intense Moisturising Cream, 200 g

The cream from Oilatum's Intense range, made for very dry and eczema prone skin that needs more than a lotion can give. It suits the face, body and hands, for men and women and for all ages, and it is fragrance free so there is nothing added for skin to react to. Despite the weight of the formula it absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film, which matters when it is being reapplied several times a day.

Oilatum publishes 24 hours of long lasting moisturisation for this cream and states that it is clinically proven to maintain the skin's natural barrier. It was formulated for the extremes of the Middle East, including long hours spent in air conditioning.

Key ingredients

• Natural oatmeal (Avena sativa kernel flour), a long standing choice for easily upset skin
• Glycerin, a humectant that pulls water into the surface layers
• Petrolatum and liquid paraffin, which hold water in place at the surface
• Allantoin, for softness and lasting comfort
• Dimethicone, which leaves the finish smooth rather than tacky

How to use

• Apply to clean skin as often as the skin feels it needs, morning and evening at least
• The best moment is straight after a bath, shower or hand wash, while the skin is still slightly damp
• Smooth it in the direction the hair lies rather than rubbing it in hard
• Give hands and any rough patches a second pass through the day
