What is QV skincare cream & intensive ointment?
QV Skincare products support protective barrier repair in compromised skin. The QV creams have rich & cosmetically elegant moisturisers. They suit frequent daytime use. QV intensive ointments, on the other hand, provide a heavier & occlusive layer for overnight treatment of dry and cracked skin.
QV products are free of lanolin, fragrance and colourants. They reduce the risk of allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. They have minimal ingredients and have a high-lipid design. These work for sensitive skin types with:
-
Dermatitis & atopic eczema
-
Dry skin due to psoriasis and xerosis
-
Age-related skin dryness
-
Occupational dry skin (e.g. frequent handwashing)
-
Infant and paediatric sensitive skin
How QV creams & intensive ointments work?
QV products combine three core effects:
-
Occlusion: They form a semi-occlusive film on the skin. This film prevents moisture loss from the skin surface. It allows the skin barrier to rehydrate from within.
-
Emollience: They have lipid-rich ingredients that fill microscopic gaps between corneocytes. They improve skin flexibility and smooth rough patches.
-
Humectant support: Their moisturising agents attract and hold water within the skin's upper layers. They thus improve resilience and plumpness in the skin.
“Well-chosen emollients are the foundation of eczema management. A fragrance-free, high-lipid cream like QV can halve the number of flares when used regularly.” — Dr A. Singh, Consultant Dermatologist.
“Intensive ointments have a crucial role in ‘rescue’ care for severely dry skin. They create a restorative micro-environment that allows barrier lipids and natural moisturising factors to recover.” — Clinical Nurse Specialist in Dermatology.

-
Layering with treatments: People using prescription creams (e.g. steroids) must apply them first. Allow them to absorb. Then use QV products unless instructed otherwise by the dermatologist.
-
Overnight repair: Use QV Intensive Ointments as a thicker layer on the dry areas of hands, feet, and shins. Use cotton gloves or socks to enhance occlusion.
-
Gentle cleansing: Use gentle soaps with QV products. They do not strip natural oils and keep the skin well-hydrated.
Regularly change clothing while using highly emollient intensive balm and creams. Consult your dermatologist if any irritation occurs.
