Sudocrem – other uses

Sudocrem also works great as one of the best facial moisturizers. A mixture of three clever ingredients makes this cream so phenomenally effective against dry skin: anhydrous, hypoallergenic lanolin, which is an emollient, soothes and softens, and zinc oxide reduces water loss, while hydrophobic paraffin creates on the skin protective coating.

After regular cleansing of the face before going to bed, apply the cream to the entire face. Then leave it overnight to absorb. Sudocrem helps tighten pores and prevent sebum build-up, reducing the formation of blackheads and pimples.

The waterproof coating created by the cream protects the toddler’s chin from drooling caused by teething.

In the case of colds and flu, you can use it under the nose to prevent dryness and chafing caused by excessive rubbing of the nose and sniffing.

Sudocrem may also work as a remedy for dry and cracked heel skin. In this case, apply a layer of cream to the heels at bedtime. Overnight, when skin cells regenerate, the zinc oxide will begin to work and in the morning our heels are smoother and softer.

Interestingly Sudocrem can also be used as a foundation. Before applying makeup, apply a small layer of cream. It provides the skin with a thin barrier, and after rubbing it is not greasy and does not make the face shine. It leaves a matte finish, but be careful not to coat it too thickly, otherwise the skin will look very pale.

In addition, Sudocrem can help reduce stretch marks and scars. You can also use Lanimes cream available on Medonet Market for stretch marks. It reduces inflammation and accelerates skin regeneration.
