E45 Itch Relief Cream

E45 Itch Relief Cream contains urea and lauromacrogols. Urea is a physiological product derived from human protein metabolism. It is found naturally in the skin and, when applied topically, can increase the horny layer’s capacity to retain water. Lauromacrogols act as a topical anaesthetic and have an antipruritic effect

Eczmol

A moisturising and antimicrobial emollient cream, which can also be used as an alternative to soap. It forms a protective barrier on the skin and helps to retain moisture in deeper layers of the skin. The active ingredient, clorhexidine gluconate, is an antimicrobial which helps combat germs on the skin that make certain types of eczema worse.

Effaclar K+

Effaclar K+

Specifically formulated for sensitive skin, this gel refines the skin texture of combination to oily, imperfection prone skin and reduces the appearance of blackheads whilst mattifying the skin for 8 hours from the very first application. The ultra-fresh aquagel texture is refreshing on application and is ultra-light with quick absorption, providing a smoother looking skin texture with pores looking unclogged and controlled shine. The gel provides all-day comfort and gives a moisturised/hydrated feel.

Efracea

Efracea contains doxycycline, an antibacterial that has been shown to inhibit neutrophil activity and several pro-inflammatory reactions, including those associated with phospholipase A2, endogenous nitric oxide and interleukin-6. It works by altering the pathophysiology of the inflammatory lesions of rosacea that is, in part, a manifestation of a neutrophil-mediated process. The OD 40mg modified release is designed to stay below the antimicrobial threshold to reduce commonly occurring side effects, while retaining an anti-inflammatory action

Topical cytostatic cream preparation with 5% fluorouracil that exerts a beneficial therapeutic effect on neoplastic and pre-neoplastic skin lesions without damaging normal skin. The pattern of response follows this sequence: erythema, vesiculation, erosion, ulceration, necrosis and epithelialisation.
