Quick tips
- Apply Emolene Cream immediately after bathing, while the skin is still slightly damp, to help lock in moisture.
- Use it at least twice daily or as often as needed to keep the skin soft and hydrated.
- Apply a generous but even layer over dry areas; gently spread without rubbing harshly.
- Use mild, soap-free cleansers instead of harsh soaps, as they can worsen dryness.
- Avoid very hot showers or baths, as hot water can strip natural oils from the skin.

FAQs
What is Emolene Cream used for?
Emolene Cream is used to treat dry, rough, and flaky skin. It works as a moisturizer (emollient) that helps restore skin hydration and prevent further dryness. It may also help relieve itchiness and irritation.
How does Emolene Cream help dry skin?
Emolene Cream binds water to the skin and softens the outer layer. It also has mild keratolytic and antimicrobial properties, helping to gently remove dead skin and reduce certain microorganisms that can irritate the skin.
Is Emolene Cream safe for children and elderly patients?
Emolene Cream is generally safe for adults, elderly individuals, and children. However, children may be more sensitive, so avoid using it on large skin areas, especially if the skin is damaged or burned.
Can I use Emolene Cream on my face or other sensitive areas?
Emolene Cream can be used on the face and other sensitive areas unless you have a known allergy to its ingredients. Avoid getting Emolene Cream into the eyes, ears (especially inside the ear canal), or open wounds.
Who should avoid using Emolene Cream?
Individuals should avoid using Emolene Cream if they are allergic to propylene glycol, cetostearyl alcohol, or any other ingredients present in Emolene Cream. Also, avoid using it on burned skin or during breastfeeding near the nipple area, to prevent accidental ingestion by infants.
Does Emolene Cream have any antibacterial or antifungal effects?
Emolene Cream has shown mild antimicrobial activity, especially against certain yeasts like Malassezia furfur, which can cause dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. However, it is not a replacement for prescription antifungal or antibiotic topical medicines.
When will I see results after using Emolene Cream?
You may notice an immediate moisturizing effect, improved skin texture within days, better hydration within 1 to 2 weeks, and reduced flaking after regular use. The desired long-term benefits of Emolene Cream depend on how long your doctor has prescribed Emolene Cream to you.
