Hydromol Ointment (500g)

Hydromol Ointment is designed to restore the skin’s natural hydration and provide relief for dry, itchy, and irritated skin. Working by sealing in moisture, softening rough skin, and soothing irritation, making them ideal for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and other dry skin conditions. As a thicker product than the cream, Hydromol ointment is perfect for intense hydration and protection, especially for very dry or cracked skin.
