Softening Indigo Ointment, Dermatology M's #1 nighttime topical for thickened, flaky skin is a 100% natural, powerfully calming combination of Chinese herbal actives, including Indigo. Saturated in naturally pigmented extracts that noticeably soften rough, scaly skin, ease itching, and help support healthy skin barrier function. Also suitable for skin prone to psoriasis.
Those dealing with thick, flaky skin and those prone to psoriasis.
Apply 1-2 times in a 24 hour period. To enhance absorption of the ointment and protect the bed-sheets at night, once applied occlude the area with clingfilm (plastic wrap) or similar. If skin becomes irritated discontinue use. Use this product at night and Bai Bi Shui Gao in the day. Do not use in Erythrodermic (severe presentation) Psoriasis.
Because of the thickness, texture and dark green color of this herbal product, it is best to use overnight.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Keep out of reach of children.
Potential Allergens: While all herbs have the potential to cause sensitivity, most users tolerate topical herbal products well. If you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies, test a small amount on the inner arm before regular use. Discontinue use if redness, itching, or irritation develops.
Please Note: This is a thick ointment. It's not meant to feel luxuriously soothing. It is meant to deeply moisten and soothe. It can feel slightly greasy when applied. If you've tried all the lovely feeling creams out there with no improvement, perhaps what you need is something thicker to improve your skin such as this excellent ointment.
