Treatment of Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Moisture-ex Lotion helps in treating inflammation and itching in eczema due to excessive dryness. When used correctly, it is a safe and effective treatment. Moisture-ex Lotion reduces the redness, rash, pain, or itchiness caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant. This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use Moisture-ex Lotion as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

Treatment of Dry Skin
Moisture-ex Lotion helps prevent dryness of skin. It inhibits loss of moisture from the skin, rejuvenates it and keeps it hydrated. This enhances the appearance of your skin and also prevents any flaking or exfoliation. You feel more confident as your skin looks healthy.

How to use Moisture-ex Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How Moisture-ex Lotion works

Moisture-ex Lotion is a combination of liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin. Liquid paraffin is an emollient (a substance that soothes or softens the skin). It prevents water loss from the outer layer of the skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin hydrated and soft. White soft paraffin provides a layer of oil on the outer layer of the skin to prevent water from evaporating from the skin's surface.

Quick tips

Avoid applying Moisture-ex Lotion to broken or injured skin. Use with caution on sensitive areas.
Remember to wash your hands after applying Moisture-ex Lotion, unless your hands are in the treated area.
Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and nose, and rinse thoroughly in case of accidental contact or seek medical help in case of swallowing.
Do not smoke or go near naked flames, as Moisture-ex Lotion increases the risk of severe burns.
Dry skin can worsen the itch; therefore, do not scratch, as scratching will generally make it worse. If scratching is irresistible, rubbing the itchy area with an ice cube might help.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I use Moisture-ex Lotion?

You should use Moisture-ex Lotion as prescribed or as required. However, Moisture-ex Lotion is especially effective when applied immediately after washing to compensate for the loss of essential oils and moisture from the skin.

Can I use Moisture-ex Lotion on my baby?

Yes, Moisture-ex Lotion is generally safe for babies and children. However, it is important to apply it in small amounts and under the supervision of a doctor or healthcare provider to prevent skin maceration (the softening and breakdown of the skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture) or overhydration.

Will Moisture-ex Lotion make my skin greasy?

Moisture-ex Lotion has a slightly greasy texture, but it absorbs over time. For daytime use, apply a thin layer of Moisture-ex Lotion and dab off any excess if needed.

How long do I have to use Moisture-ex Lotion until I see results?

The exact time Moisture-ex Lotion may take to show results is not known. However, you may start noticing relief from dryness and itching within an hour, while the full effect may take a few days to weeks, depending on the condition and its severity.

How should I store Moisture-ex Lotion?

You should keep Moisture-ex Lotion at room temperature. Close the lid tightly to prevent contamination. Also, avoid extreme heat or cold as it may change the texture of the Moisture-ex Lotion.
