Full Description

QV Intensive Ointment (450g Tub): Is a non-greasy and cosmetically acceptable, with five active ingredients to moisturise and hydrate the skin, locking in moisture. Ideal for drier areas e.g. elbow and knees.

 

Features:

  • Highly emollient balm
  • Protects and soothes sore skin to promote healing
  • Preservative and water-free
  • Apply as often as required

 

Total emollient therapy from QV

Experts agree that a programme of total emollient therapy is one of the best ways to relieve discomfort and manage flare ups caused by skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.

That means adopting a 2-stage routine of cleansing and moisturising to help repair and rehydrate skin around the clock.

The QV range provides all the products you need for this 2-stage process, soothing sensitive skin conditions, morning, noon and night.

 

 

 

All about itchy skin:

Dry or sensitive skin conditions like atopic eczema are really common and affect around 54% of the population and 1 in 5 children in the UK. Most children grow out of it by the time they are 7, but the constant cycle of itching & scratching can make them really uncomfortable. It can keep them awake, make them self-conscious and put a strain on the whole family.

 

What's different about QV?

GLYCEROL

QV is one of the few brands to use glycerol in many of its products. Glycerol is a naturally occurring humectant. Humectants are substances that help the skin retain moisture, protecting the skin against irritation. Glycerol isn't greasy and won't block pores, and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft.

 

IT'S FREE FROM SLS (SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE) AND OTHER IRRITANTS

SLS is found in some soaps and can irritate the skin. So the QV range is SLS free and also free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol to help cleanse and moisturise without irritation.

 

QV products for every part of the day:

Our grading system helps you to decide what product you need at different times of the day and for different types of dry skin. From a gentle wash to an intensive ointment, our products are graded 1 to 4, with 1 being the lightest.

For example, QV Skin Lotion is a light lotion that's great when skin is feeling dry, but not when it's sore or cracked. So it's classed as Grade 2. QV Intensive Ointment is ideal for night times and is generally used when skin is at its driest or is flaring up. So it's classed as Grade 4.
