FAQs
How do I use Epaderm Ointment as a moisturiser?
Apply Epaderm Ointment directly to the skin in the direction of hair growth. This will reduce the risk of blocking hair follicles. Use as often as required.
Can Epaderm Ointment be used as a soap substitute?
Yes, scoop a small amount from the tub, lather under warm water, and then use as a normal soap.
How do I use Epaderm Ointment as a bath additive?
Take 4g (about the size of a £2 coin) from the tub. Melt this in a tumbler of hot water, ensuring it has cooled sufficiently before adding to the bath. Do not apply hot water directly to the skin.
