Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Daily use of emollients is one of the cornerstones of managing dry skin and eczema. Regular moisturising helps restore the skin barrier, reduces water loss and protects against environmental irritants that can trigger flare-ups. Ointments are generally richer than creams and are particularly suitable for very dry or cracked skin because they remain on the skin for longer.
For best results, apply Ovelle Emulsifying Ointment several times daily, especially after bathing or hand washing when moisture is most easily lost. If using as a soap substitute, apply a small amount to wet skin before rinsing gently with warm water. Avoid vigorous rubbing when drying the skin and instead pat the skin dry with a soft towel. If your skin becomes infected, develops significant redness, weeping or fails to improve despite regular emollient use, seek advice from your GP or pharmacist. Continue using prescribed eczema treatments as directed alongside regular emollient therapy.
