Product Information

Full details

QV Cream is a highly concentrated, rich, and protective moisturizer for adults with dry or sensitive skin, ideal for managing conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Its key benefit is replenishing the skin's moisture barrier for long-lasting hydration. A caveat to note is the fire risk associated with paraffin-based products if they impregnate clothing or bedding, requiring caution and regular changes. Key features include its hypoallergenic formula, the inclusion of Squalene, and its suitability for sensitive skin due to the absence of fragrance, color, and lanolin.

FAQs

What makes QV Cream suitable for sensitive skin?

QV Cream is formulated to be hypoallergenic and is free from common irritants such as fragrance, colour, and lanolin, making it gentle and suitable for sensitive skin types.

Can QV Cream be used on babies or children?

QV Cream is designed for adult use. While its gentle formula is often well-tolerated, it's best to consult a pediatrician or healthcare professional for recommendations regarding infant or child skincare.

How often should I apply QV Cream?

Apply QV Cream to affected areas as often as required. It is particularly beneficial after showering, bathing, shaving, exposure to harsh weather, and at night.

What are the main active ingredients in QV Cream?

The main active ingredients are Glycerin (10%), Light Liquid Paraffin (Paraffinum Liquidum) (10%), and Soft White Paraffin (Petrolatum) (5%).

What is the purpose of Squalene in QV Cream?

Squalene is a natural component found in the skin's oil. Its inclusion in QV Cream helps to replenish the skin's natural moisture barrier and provides effective hydration, especially for dry areas.

Is there a fire risk associated with QV Cream?

Yes, like other paraffin-based products, there is a fire risk if the product heavily impregnates clothing or bedding. Consumers should regularly change clothing or bedding that has been in contact with the cream and keep away from naked flames.

Where should I store QV Cream?

QV Cream should be stored below 30°C.

Troubleshooting

Cream feels too heavy or greasy

Ensure you are applying to damp skin, as this helps the cream absorb better. For very dry areas, a thicker application is beneficial; for less dry areas, use a smaller amount. Allow a few minutes for absorption before dressing.

Skin irritation occurs despite being hypoallergenic

While hypoallergenic, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure you are not using in conjunction with other potentially irritating products.

Product not providing enough moisture

Ensure the skin is clean and slightly damp before application to maximize absorption and effectiveness. Apply more frequently, especially after washing or exposure to drying conditions. Consider using QV Gentle Wash before application.
