Eczema
Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is one of the most common inflammatory skin conditions in Australia, affecting up to one in three children4 and one in ten adults5. It is a chronic, relapsing condition, but with the right skincare routine, most people can manage it effectively and live comfortably.
-

Psoriasis
Psoriasis affects around 2–3% of Australians6 which is approximately 520,000 people. It is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the skin to renew itself far too quickly, leading to a build-up of cells that form itchy, scaly patches. While there is currently no cure, psoriasis can be managed very effectively with the right combination of emollient therapy, lifestyle adjustments and, where needed, medical treatment.

Dry Skin
Dry skin (medically known as xerosis) is the most common skin complaint seen by healthcare professionals7. It can range from mildly rough or flaky skin to severely cracked, painful skin that bleeds or becomes infected. Fortunately, it is also one of the most treatable skin conditions, with consistent emollient use at its core.
Backed by clinical science
Epaderm® Cream is the subject of peer-reviewed clinical research, demonstrating significant improvements in skin hydration, softness and xerosis across all age groups, from infants to adults2.
A prospective clinical investigation assessed the performance and efficacy of Epaderm® Cream in patients with dry skin conditions. Significant improvements were observed in patient-reported skin moisturisation, softness, and clinical measurements of xerosis2. Published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology.
