Product Information
Full details
Dermacool Menthol Aqueous Cream 2% is designed for individuals experiencing dry, itchy skin conditions like dermatitis, insect bites, prickly heat, sunburn, and hives. Its key benefit is providing a cooling sensation that soothes itching, while the SLS-free base moisturizes and prevents further dryness. A potential caveat is the need to avoid use on damaged skin and contact with eyes.
