Dermacool 0.5% Menthol Aqueous Cream Pump – 500g

This dermacool cream provides cooling relief for irritated and itchy skin conditions. The 0.5% menthol concentration delivers a gentle cooling sensation that helps soothe discomfort associated with eczema, psoriasis, and general skin irritation. The convenient pump dispenser ensures hygienic application whilst the 500g size offers excellent value for regular use.

The aqueous cream base acts as both a treatment and moisturiser, helping to maintain skin hydration whilst delivering the active cooling ingredient. This dual-action approach makes it suitable for daily use as part of your skincare routine, particularly when managing chronic skin conditions that require ongoing care.

How Menthol Provides Cooling Relief

Menthol works by activating cold-sensitive receptors in your skin, creating a cooling sensation that helps interrupt itch signals. This mechanism provides temporary relief from the urge to scratch, which can help prevent further skin damage and irritation. The cooling effect typically begins within minutes of application and can last for several hours.

The aqueous cream base ensures the menthol is delivered effectively to your skin whilst providing essential moisture. This combination helps restore your skin's natural barrier function, which is often compromised in conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Who Can Benefit from This Cooling Treatment

This menthol aqueous cream is particularly suitable for people experiencing itchy, irritated skin from various causes. It can be used by adults and children over 12 years of age, making it a versatile option for families dealing with skin conditions. The gentle formulation makes it appropriate for sensitive skin types.

You may find this cream helpful if you experience:

Itching associated with eczema or dermatitis
Dry, irritated skin that feels hot or inflamed
Psoriasis-related discomfort and scaling
General skin irritation from environmental factors

Why Choose a Pump Dispenser Format

The pump dispenser design offers several practical advantages over traditional tube packaging. It allows for controlled, measured dispensing whilst maintaining product hygiene by preventing contamination from repeated contact. This is particularly important when treating skin conditions where maintaining cleanliness is essential for healing.

The 500g size provides excellent value for money, especially for those requiring regular application. The pump mechanism remains effective throughout the product's life, ensuring consistent dispensing from first use to last.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

Store this cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The pump dispenser should be kept upright to maintain proper function. Once opened, the product should be used within the timeframe indicated on the packaging, typically 12 months.

Keep the pump head clean by wiping with a damp cloth after use. This prevents product build-up that could affect dispensing and maintains hygiene standards important for treating compromised skin.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Apply Dermacool Cream

Clean and dry the affected area before application. Press the pump dispenser to release a small amount of cream and apply a thin layer to the affected skin. Gently massage the cream into your skin using circular motions until fully absorbed. The cooling sensation should begin within a few minutes of application.

Frequency and Duration of Use

You can apply this cream up to three times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. For best results, apply after bathing when your skin is still slightly damp to help lock in moisture. If you are using other topical treatments, allow time between applications to prevent interactions. Wash your hands thoroughly after each application unless you are treating your hands specifically.

Potential Side Effects of Menthol Cream

Like all medicines, Dermacool 0.5% Menthol Aqueous Cream can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. If you're managing multiple skin conditions, our creams and ointments collection offers various alternatives that may be more suitable for your specific needs.

Most people tolerate menthol-based creams well, but some may experience mild skin reactions, particularly during initial use. These effects are usually temporary and resolve as your skin adjusts to the treatment.

Possible side effects may include:

Mild skin irritation or redness at the application site
Temporary burning or stinging sensation
Increased sensitivity to cold temperatures
Skin dryness or flaking
Contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals
Excessive cooling sensation
Allergic reactions such as rash or hives
Worsening of existing skin conditions

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
