Product introduction
Emoderm Cream is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of dry skin. It relieves dry skin conditions such as eczema, ichthyosis, and pruritus of the elderly. It works by preventing water loss from the outer layer of skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin soft and hydrated.
Apply Emoderm Cream to the affected areas of the skin as directed by your doctor, usually 1–2 times daily or as needed. Gently massage it into clean, dry skin until it is fully absorbed. Regular use helps keep the skin moisturized and prevents dryness from returning. For best results, apply it after bathing or washing when the skin is still slightly damp, as this helps lock in moisture.
Emoderm Cream is generally well tolerated. However, some people may experience mild skin irritation, redness, itching, or a greasy feeling at the application site. These effects are usually mild and temporary. If irritation persists or worsens, stop using the cream and consult your doctor.
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and broken or infected skin unless advised by a doctor. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not apply large amounts to damaged skin unless directed by a healthcare professional. If you have known allergies to any ingredients in the cream, avoid using it and seek medical advice.

Quick tips
- Apply a thin layer of Emoderm Cream immediately after bathing to lock in moisture and improve hydration for very dry or scaly skin.
- Avoid using Emoderm Cream near open flames or smoking, as it is highly flammable, and even residual amounts on clothing or bedding can ignite.
- Do not overapply or layer with other greasy products, as this may clog pores or worsen acne-prone skin.
- Tell your doctor if you have skin infections or oozing lesions, as this medicine can trap bacteria and delay healing.
- Gently pat skin dry before application, especially in skin folds, to reduce the risk of maceration or fungal growth.
