Description

NeoStrata® Problem Dry Skin is a highly emollient skin conditioning cream that is formulated to exfoliate, smooth and moisturise severely dry, rough and thickened skin in areas such as the knees, elbows, and heels. As this is a high percentage AHA it is not suggested for those with sensitive or red, rosacea-prone skin.

Key ingredients include a 20% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) blend to smooth skin roughness and Maltobionic Acid, a Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA), and Pro-Vitamin E to exfoliate severely dry, rough or thickened skin found on the knees, feet, and elbows. It is ideal for people with scaling and flaking associated with skin conditions such as hyperkeratosis, psoriasis, or Keratosis Pilaris. An amphoteric formulation helps to reduce irritation. Dermatologist developed. Fragrance-free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: NeoStrata® Problem Dry Skin is a targeted rescue treatment for dry, scaly, flaking areas on the body.  A significant improvement is generally seen with regular use and the results are enhanced if it is applied to slightly moist skin after a shower or bath – this encourages better penetration of the product. The most impressive part of using this product long-term is the overall improvement in the condition of the skin, especially on dry, cracked feet.

Summary

Strength: 20% PHA/AHA

Size: 100g

How to Use
  • Apply once a day to clean skin on the elbows, knees and heels or on other areas of the skin that are dry, flaking or scaly or as required.
  • As it is a greasy formulation you may need wait until it is absorbed before putting on clothes or shoes.
  • For the best absorption, apply after a shower or bath. Towel dry and apply to damp skin for the best absorption.
  • First time users should always introduce this product slowly until the skin is tolerant. If any irritation occurs use less often and build up tolerance.

    Absolutely amazing for dry heels and elbows. With daily use it has completely transformed my severely dry and cracked heels.

    This is a excellent exfoliating cream with lactic acid. It conditions rough and dry skin on my elbows, knees and feet and has helped my keratosis pilaris.

    My favorite product for dry skin on the feet. Eliminates hard callouses and leaves feet soft and smooth as a baby’s bottom.
