Helpful Product Information
Quick Answer
Hydromol Cream is a leave-on emollient for dry skin. Apply liberally to the affected areas and gently smooth it into the skin in the direction of hair growth. It can be applied 2–4 times daily or as often as required.
When Is the Best Time to Apply Hydromol Cream?
The manufacturer advises that Hydromol Cream is particularly beneficial immediately after washing or bathing, when moisture remains within the skin. Regular application throughout the day can also help maintain moisturisation.
What Is Sodium PCA?
Sodium PCA is a component of the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor. Hydromol Cream uses Sodium PCA as a humectant to attract moisture and help support the skin's natural hydration.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Regular and generous use is important when using an emollient for persistent dry skin. Apply Hydromol Cream with gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth rather than rubbing vigorously into the skin.
If you have also been prescribed a topical medicine such as a corticosteroid, speak to your pharmacist, doctor or nurse about how to space the products, as applying topical preparations together may not be appropriate.
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using Hydromol Cream if the affected skin is badly cracked, infected or bleeding.
A particularly important safety consideration with emollients is fire risk. Fabric that has been in contact with this product can burn more easily. Keep away from cigarettes, naked flames and other ignition sources. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but may not remove it completely.
Always read the label and instructions before use.
Not Suitable For
Do not use Hydromol Cream if you are allergic or hypersensitive to any of its ingredients.
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use if your skin is:
- Badly cracked
- Infected
- Bleeding
Stop using the cream and seek advice if your skin condition worsens or you experience an undesirable reaction.

FAQs
What is Hydromol Cream 100g used for?
Hydromol Cream is a moisturising emollient used for the management of dry skin. The manufacturer's intended uses include dry skin associated with dermatitis and eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis and senile pruritus. It contains emollient oils together with Sodium PCA, a component of the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor. The cream helps moisturise, smooth and soften dry skin and can be applied regularly throughout the day.
Is Hydromol Cream suitable for eczema?
Yes. Hydromol Cream is specifically intended for managing dry skin associated with dermatitis and eczema. Emollients moisturise the skin and can form an important part of everyday skincare for people with dry, eczema-prone skin. Apply Hydromol Cream liberally and frequently according to the instructions. If your eczema becomes infected, severely cracked, bleeding or significantly worse, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.
Is Hydromol Cream suitable for psoriasis?
Yes. Psoriasis is included among the dry skin conditions for which Hydromol Cream is intended. The cream moisturises and softens dry skin and helps reduce moisture loss. It does not replace other treatments that may have been prescribed specifically for psoriasis. If you are using a topical psoriasis medicine as well as Hydromol Cream, ask your pharmacist or doctor about appropriate spacing between applications.
How often should I apply Hydromol Cream?
Adults, elderly people and children can apply Hydromol Cream liberally to affected areas 2–4 times daily or as often as required. Smooth it gently into the skin following the direction of hair growth. Regular application is generally important with emollient therapy, particularly when the skin is persistently dry. Follow any specific instructions given by your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
Can children use Hydromol Cream?
Yes. Hydromol Cream is suitable for children as well as adults and elderly people. The manufacturer's directions state that it can be applied liberally and frequently to affected areas and used 2–4 times daily or as often as required. If a child's skin is infected, badly cracked, bleeding or worsening despite regular emollient use, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Is Hydromol Cream fragrance-free?
Yes. Hydromol Cream is described by the manufacturer as a light, fragrance-free and easily absorbed cream. This can be useful for people who prefer an emollient without added fragrance as part of their regular dry-skin routine. Always check the current packaging for the full ingredient list, particularly if you have previously experienced reactions to skincare ingredients.
What does Sodium PCA do in Hydromol Cream?
Sodium PCA, or sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate, is a humectant and a component of the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor. Hydromol Cream contains Sodium PCA to attract moisture and help restore elements of the skin's natural hydration. The formulation also contains emollient oils that help reduce moisture loss, providing complementary moisturising effects for dry skin.
Can I use Hydromol Cream after a shower or bath?
Yes. Immediately after washing or bathing is specifically identified by the manufacturer as a beneficial time to apply Hydromol Cream. Moisture remains within the skin after washing, and applying an emollient at this stage can help maintain hydration. Pat the skin rather than rubbing vigorously and apply the cream liberally to dry areas.
Can I use Hydromol Cream with a steroid cream?
If you are using a corticosteroid or another medicine that is applied to the skin, ask your doctor or pharmacist how to use it alongside Hydromol Cream. The manufacturer specifically advises discussing other topical medicines with a healthcare professional because it may not be suitable to apply different topical preparations at exactly the same time.
Can Hydromol Cream be used on the face?
Hydromol Cream is intended for application to dry skin, but take care to avoid the eyes. Individual facial skin can be particularly sensitive, so stop using the product if irritation develops. If you have persistent facial dermatitis, significant inflammation, broken or infected skin, speak to your pharmacist or doctor about the most appropriate treatment.
Why is there a fire warning on Hydromol Cream?
Hydromol Cream contains emollient ingredients that can build up on clothing, bedding and dressings. Fabric contaminated with emollient can burn more easily and therefore presents a serious fire hazard. Do not smoke or go near naked flames while using the product. Washing fabrics can reduce the accumulation of product but may not remove it completely.
What should I do if Hydromol Cream irritates my skin?
Stop using Hydromol Cream if your condition worsens or you develop an undesirable reaction and speak to your doctor or pharmacist. Some of the ingredients can cause skin reactions such as contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals. Do not use Hydromol Cream if you know you are allergic or hypersensitive to any of its ingredients.
