What are fissures?
Cracks develop when the skin lacks enough oil. This prevents sufficient moisture retention, causing small cracks in the skin.
Especially during winter, you're more likely to experience itchy lower legs or dry heels. Not to mention those dry hands with nasty cracks in inconvenient places. It's understandable that you're looking for an ointment or cream to combat dry skin, cracks, and superficial wounds.
What helps against cracks?
Dermatology store offers ointments and creams for cracks, superficial wounds, and (extremely) dry skin. See below which product offers the best solution for your skin problem:
- ALHYDRAN Cracked Dry Skin Care: A cream specially developed to restore and soften (extremely) dry skin. It also prevents flaking and cracking. ALHYDRAN's effectiveness has been scientifically proven.
- DerMel skin ointment: A natural honey ointment made with pure honey that provides antibacterial protection. Developed in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research, the ointment is scientifically proven and suitable for (superficial) wounds, irritated and dry skin, and cracked heels and fingertips.
- Revamil Hand Cream: For dry, rough hands. The cream absorbs quickly and doesn't feel greasy, which is helpful if you wash your hands frequently (think healthcare professionals) or work in an environment that quickly dries out the skin. Almond oil and shea butter help protect the skin from dehydration, preventing cracking.
- Revamil Balm: For superficial wounds, such as open cracks or small wounds caused by scratching or eczema. It's a mild, protective honey ointment with a high honey content and antibacterial properties. The ointment creates a moist wound environment, helping the skin heal faster.
