QV Intensive Ointment is a soothing balm formulated with five active ingredients to relieve dry, irritated skin. Its gentle, low-irritant formula protects sore, dry skin, helping it heal and feel more comfortable. Free from preservatives and water, it can be applied as often as needed, especially on areas prone to dryness such as elbows and knees. This ointment is effective for managing skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis, and is suitable for infants, children, and elderly people. If you’re seeking a strong, reliable treatment for dry skin, QV Intensive Ointment is a great option.
Dry skin can result from various environmental and health factors. While occasional dryness isn’t usually a concern, persistent dryness may indicate an underlying condition such as diabetes or a chronic skin disorder like eczema. Environmental causes include dry air, extreme temperatures, and exposure to heat sources. Harsh soaps, chemicals, and fragrances can also strip natural oils from the skin, leaving it tight, dry, and uncomfortable. Certain skin conditions require long-term management to keep skin hydrated and comfortable. If dry skin occurs frequently, it’s advisable to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Atopic eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes dryness, redness, and discomfort. Most cases require ongoing management, though some children may outgrow it. Eczema commonly affects the knees, elbows, neck, hands, cheeks, and scalp, but it can occur anywhere on the body.
Psoriasis causes red, scaly, and itchy patches, typically on the elbows, knees, and lower back. Severity varies; some people experience mild irritation, while others suffer significant discomfort. Symptoms may come and go, with periods of flare-ups and remission.
QV Intensive Ointment contains five key ingredients that work together to hydrate and protect the skin:
Petrolatum
Isopropyl Myristate
Cetearyl Alcohol
Liquid Paraffin
Dimethicone
These emollients and protective agents lock moisture into the skin, preventing dryness and irritation. The ointment moisturizes deeply without blocking pores and does not contain harsh chemicals, fragrances, colors, or preservatives. Its low-irritant formula is gentle enough for all ages, including infants and the elderly. You can use it as often as needed for relief from dry skin symptoms and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
