Epaderm is an emollient clinically proven to hydrate and moisturise your skin. It contains no harsh chemicals or fragrances, making it safe and suitable for treating eczema symptoms. Currently, there's no cure for eczema, so treatments are usually aimed at reducing the severity of your symptoms or preventing them from getting worse.
There are several types of eczema, including atopic eczema, which is the most common type, that’s characterised by dry, itchy skin that may become inflamed and infected. Another type is discoid eczema, which is marked by bumps and patches on the skin, particularly on the hands and feet. Before getting treatment for eczema, you must diagnose the condition accurately, as the treatment will differ for each type.
Epaderm contains ingredients like glycerin and paraffin, which help to moisturise dry skin. Glycerine promotes water retention in the outermost layer of your skin, called the stratum corneum. This prevents water from being lost from your skin's surface, keeping it hydrated. Paraffin also creates a physical protective layer, which stops germs and irritants from entering your skin. This can help reduce inflammation, redness and itching. Additionally, it adds a layer of oil to your skin, helping trap moisture and also preventing water loss.
This means Epaderm can help restore the skin barrier that's often damaged in eczematous skin, helping to protect your skin from future flare-ups, irritants and complications.
There are two Epaderm products available: a cream and an ointment. Both contain similar ingredients and are highly effective at treating dry skin. The main difference between them is that the ointment is thicker and oilier, making it better suited to stopping water loss from your skin and repairing your skin barrier.

Epaderm can instantly hydrate your skin when applied, but this doesn't mean it can completely heal your eczema. As there’s no cure for eczema, treatments focus on reducing the severity of your symptoms. Epaderm can help reduce your symptoms, however, if your eczema is severe, you’ll likely need additional treatment with steroids.
