Excipial is a set of drug-free dermatological bases. The preparations improve and normalize the skin condition by supplying lipids and moisture. A thin lipid film prevents the skin from drying out, smoothes the rough surface and makes it elastic and resilient. The different structure of the cream and ointment and the graded fat content make it possible to choose the right product for every skin type:
Excipial Fettcrème - a water-in-oil system - is also hydrous, but more greasy; it retains moisture in the upper layer of the skin and cannot be washed off with water.
Excipial almond oil ointment - a fatty base - is highly greasy, water-free and cannot be washed off with water. To protect the ointment from becoming rancid, it contains substances from the vitamin E group.
Both Excipial products are used to protect and care for sensitive or slightly inflamed skin, for alternating treatment with skin medicines containing active ingredients (e.g. Excipial during the day and corticoid preparations at night) and for skin care after various skin diseases have healed.
Depending on the skin type, you can choose oily cream (dry skin) or almond oil ointment (dry, low-fat children's skin).
