Statistics, Research, Expert Insights and Quotes
Dermatology research consistently shows that regular emollient use improves skin-barrier function and reduces flare-ups in individuals with eczema. Emollients containing occlusive and humectant ingredients—such as those found in Hydromol products—are considered a cornerstone of treatment. Using soap-based cleansers can worsen dryness, while emollient-based washes help retain moisture.
“Dry skin conditions often benefit from structured emollient routines. Hydromol provides gentle, effective products that support hydration and barrier repair without using fragrances or irritants.”
