Medicine Description qv-intensive-body-moisturiser 30 GM
QV Intensive Body Moisturiser is a medication designed to provide significant hydration and barrier protection for the skin. Its formulation includes a blend of emollients and occlusive agents that work synergistically to alleviate dry skin conditions. Light liquid paraffin and petrolatum create a protective layer on the skin's surface, minimizing water loss and trapping moisture. Isopropyl myristate enhances skin absorption of the other ingredients, improving skin texture and hydration. Polyethylene and cetearyl alcohol contribute to the stability and consistency of the formulation, ensuring ease of application. Silica serves to enhance the product's texture while providing additional moisture retention, and dimethicone adds a silky feel and further occlusion. This comprehensive approach makes it particularly effective for extremely dry and sensitive skin, promoting a healthier skin barrier.
