Cost-effective alternatives to your favourite emollient creams
As the colder weather arrives and the temperature drops outside, the heating and bath/shower temperatures rise meaning our skin easily dries out causing flakes, itching, redness and even skin cracks. Protect your dry skin this winter from infection by washing in and then applying an emollient 4-5 times a day.
Widely prescribed on the NHS, here at Butterflies Eyecare we can now offer you the EPIMAX range of creams and soap substitutes.
EPIMAX helps you to take control of your dry skin every day. Choose from a range of emollients (you might know them as moisturisers), designed to relieve symptoms of eczema, psoriasis and dry skin. They come in a variety of formulations to suit different symptoms, preferences and lifestyles, to give you the power to unlock comfort for your skin. Packaged in top-down bottles called toddles, there is no cream left behind as with pump dispensers.
Our pharmacist Michelle has created this handy guide to help you choose an EPIMAX product.
