Dermacool 2% 500g
Dermacool Menthol Aqueous Cream 2% is a cooling and soothing cream designed to provide fast relief from dry, irritated, and itchy skin. Unlike standard aqueous creams, Dermacool is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)-free, making it gentler on the skin while maintaining hydration and preventing further irritation.
What is Dermacool Used For?
Dermacool Cream is commonly used to relieve itching and discomfort associated with various skin conditions, including:
- Dermatitis
- Insect bites
- Prickly heat
- Sunburn
- Hives (urticaria)
The menthol in Dermacool activates cold receptors in the skin, providing an instant cooling effect that soothes itching and irritation. Additionally, the moisturising aqueous base restores the skin’s natural moisture levels, preventing further dryness and discomfort.
