Vitrosupos indications
This medication is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking. Some products (e.g., zinc oxide, white petrolatum) are used mostly to protect the skin against irritation (e.g., from wetness).
Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and dimethicone are common emollients. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the horny substance (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (e.g., urea, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and allantoin). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin keep in more water, and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer.
Vitrosupos description
Vitrosupos contains Glycerol 10%; methyl hydroxybenzoate 0.2% and propyl hydroxybenzoate 0.1% as preservatives; N-alkyl betaine and coconut imidazoline betaine, sodium lauryl sulfate as surfactants. Vitrosupos has a pH of 6 to match the natural protective pH of the skin, which helps prevent the growth of microorganisms. It contains no oils or greases so it is suitable for all skin types and it is soft to use on very tender, sensitive skin for which a liquid may be preferred. It contains no perfume, lanolin or lanolin derivatives.
Vitrosupos dosage
Vitrosupos can be used as often as required in the shower or at the hand basin. Wet skin and apply a small amount of Vitrosupos to the area to be cleansed. Lightly massage onto skin. Rinse and gently pat skin dry.
Adjunct Therapy: QV cream or QV skin lotion can be used to further moisturise the skin after cleansing with Vitrosupos. For severe conditions or extensive areas of dry skin, soaking in a bath containing QV bath oil gives the best therapeutic effect.
