This ceramide-fortified lotion represents a cost-effective option for managing moderate xerosis while preventing disease progression. Its low-irritancy profile makes it suitable for fragile skin populations often excluded from clinical trials.

Clinical Pearl: Demonstrated 38% better adherence vs. thicker creams in mobility-limited patients due to rapid absorption.

For severe cases, consider stepping up to ISDIN Uradin 10% Cream while using Hydrolotion for maintenance.
