Epaderm is an emollient, which can help treat dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. It contains moisturising ingredients, like paraffin, which help to repair the skin barrier. It also doesn't contain harsh chemicals or fragrances that might irritate your skin.
Dermatitis is the general term for inflammatory conditions, such as atopic and seborrheic dermatitis. Although the exact cause of inflammation is often unknown, in most cases it results in a dysfunctional skin barrier. This damage can lead to dryness and cracking of the skin.
If you have dermatitis, you might be recommended Epaderm (sometimes alongside another treatment) to help relieve your symptoms.
Epaderm contains ingredients, like paraffin, that can help repair your skin barrier. When applied, it creates a physical protective coating, which prevents the entry of germs and irritants from entering your skin. It also adds a layer of oil to the surface of your skin, helping trap moisture and preventing water from escaping from the skin's surface. These processes help repair your skin barrier and keep it moisturised.
Both Epaderm cream and ointment have similar ingredients and are effective at treating dry skin. The main difference is that the ointment has a much thicker and oilier consistency than the cream. This helps to keep your skin hydrated for a longer period.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

Epaderm cream and ointment can be used in two ways, and the way they’re used will depend on what you're using them for.
You can also use Epaderm ointment in the bath. To do this:
You should apply the cream regularly, at least twice a day, to make sure your skin is continuously moisturised.
Your skin should feel instantly hydrated after applying the emollient. Although over time you should see an improvement in your skin, if you have severe swelling, you’ll likely also need treatment with topical steroids.
If you occasionally forget to use the cream, don’t worry. Just carry on using it as you normally would when you remember. Your skin may feel drier if you miss an application, so it’s best to use it as regularly as you can to get the best results.
