Epaderm Junior Ointment is a treatment that helps to restore moisture in the skin that has been lost as a result of conditions such as dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis.

The lighter Epaderm cream might be preferred during the day and the heavier ointment at night.

Epaderm Junior Ointment does not contain any fragrances or colourings.

When caring for dry skin conditions, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellene (NICE) recommends washing with emollients rather than detergents or soaps, as these can increase water loss from the skin. Using Epaderm Cream as a skin cleanser helps ensure that dry skin can be properly washed, without losing additional moisture.
