Problems that ointments and creams can help relieve range from dry skin and rashes to inflammation and dermatological conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea. Formulations for dry skin usually contain moisturizing ingredients such as glycerol, hyaluronic acid, urea, or oils to help restore and retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and flaking. Eczema ointments and creams are formulated to soothe itching, inflammation, and irritated skin. They may contain ingredients such as lanolin, aloe vera, panthenol, or oils that moisturize and protect the skin from further irritation. For psoriasis, products containing ingredients such as salicylic acid, urea, tar, or vitamin D can be helpful, as they help remove scales and reduce skin inflammation. Common ingredients in acne products include salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, or azelaic acid to help clear pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent new breakouts. Rosacea ointments and creams may contain ingredients such as bisabolol, allantoin, green tea extracts, or vitamin K, which soothe redness, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. In addition to these ingredients, ointments and creams may also contain other valuable additives, such as antioxidants, vitamins, plant extracts, or even medicinal agents, depending on the needs and goals of the user.
