Useful in specific groups of patients where topical steroid sparing is required but Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors not tolerated/effective or reduced Topical Corticosteroid frequencies are giving flare. Your doctor or pharmacist will talk to you about which type of emollient will work best for your skin condition.

If your skin stings after using an emollient wash product and does not settle after rinsing, ask a pharmacist to recommend a different product. Using emollients with other skin treatments Yes, you can use Aqueous Cream daily on your face. As you know, Aqueous can be used instead of Soap. Since you use Soap daily, your can use Aqueous cream regularly. Does Aqueous cream clog pores?If you're using a steroid cream or another treatment for your skin condition, wait 20 to 30 minutes between using an emollient and using the other treatment. Ask a doctor which one to use first. Karl, W. et al. Effect of surfactant on structure thermal behavior of cetyl stearyl alcohols: DSC and X-ray scattering studies. J. Therm. Anal. Calorim. 123, 1411–1417 (2016).

ONLY FOR USE for very dry chronic inflammatory dermatological conditions with associated significant irritation/itch that has not been responsive to or tolerant of other formulary emollient options Oil-in-water creams are widely used in pharmaceutical products formulated to treat conditions like atopic dermatitis, rosacea and psoriasis 1. They also form the basis of veterinary medications used to assist wound-healing and treat skin infections 2, and they are the basis too of a great many personal care products, spanning make-up foundations, anti-perspirants, sun lotions and deodorants 3. All such products are complex, multi-component colloids in which the constituent oil and water phases are stabilised through the addition of one or more ionic, non-ionic or zwitterionic surfactants, in combination with one or more co-surfactants (sometimes referred to as consistency enhancers) which might be long chain fatty acids, fatty alcohols or monoglycerides 4, 5. Other components which might be added include humectants such as propylene glycol, anti-oxidants like α-tocopherol acetate, and preservatives like phenoxyethanol 6. However, if the moisturiser is applied just before or after applying other medicated creams, ointments or lotions, the moisturiser could dilute the other medicated product, making it less effective. For this reason you should try to leave about 30 minutes between applying moisturisers and medicated skin products, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Raposo, S. et al.

A rescaled MSA structure factor for dilute charged colloidal dispersions. Mol. Phys. 46, 651–656 (1982).Aqueous cream is a light, non-greasy moisturiser made from a mixture of emulsifying ointment (which contains emulsifying wax, liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin) and water, with phenoxyethanol as an antimicrobial preservative. When you use it instead of soap it cleanses the skin, but leaves behind a layer of oil on the skin surface that prevents water evaporating from the skin and stops it drying out. All Aqueous creams are not formulated in the same way. As per the formulation, there are two types of Aqueous creams. One is SLS ( Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) formulated, and the other one is SLS-free. It's especially important to regularly apply an emollient to your hands and face, as they're exposed to the elements more than any other part of your body.
