Dermacool Child, with its 0.5% menthol composition, not only relieves itching and inflammation but also offers additional benefits for children's skin. This menthol-based aqueous cream effectively assists in soothing and nourishing the skin, making it suitable for a wide range of skin conditions. With its gentle formula, Dermacool Child can be applied to address issues such as eczema, dermatitis, heat rash, insect stings, bites, and even sunburn.

Compared to other Dermacool creams like Dermacool and Dermacool PLUS, Dermacool Child contains a slightly lower amount of menthol. This formulation is specifically tailored for children's delicate skin, but also elderly with thin fragile skin, ensuring safety and effectiveness. By triggering the cold receptors in the skin upon application, the menthol in Dermacool Child helps create a cooling sensation, providing relief and comfort to the affected areas.

Notably, Dermacool Child goes beyond symptom relief. Its aqueous cream base works to nourish and hydrate the skin, offering an added layer of protection. This helps to keep the skin moisturized and safeguarded from further irritation or dryness.

Dermacool Child is a trusted solution for addressing various itchy skin conditions in children. Its targeted formula, combined with the benefits of menthol and a nourishing cream base, makes it a reliable choice for parents and caregivers seeking relief and comfort for their children's skin.
