Introduction About EFADERM CREAM

Efaderm Cream is a moisturising cream used for dry scaly skin condition with atopy, hyperkeratosis, and other eczemas. It hydrates and moisturises the skin. It contains Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Chloride and Refined Sunflower Oil.

Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid is derived from amino acids to act as a humectant and retain moisture in the skin. It works as a natural moisturising factor and keeps skin healthy. Sodium Lactate maintains the adequate skin hydration. Sunflower oil contains linoleic acid, which helps the skin to retain moisture, so it becomes less dry.

Always use Efaderm Cream as advised by your doctor. It is for external use only. Wash your face and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of cream evenly on affected areas of skin. Do not use Efaderm Cream if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.
