• What is QV Intensive Ointment used for?

    QV Intensive Ointment is a rich emollient designed to moisturise and protect very dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It helps relieve dryness, itching and irritation associated with conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

  • How does QV Intensive Ointment work?

    The ointment forms a protective barrier over the skin to help lock in moisture and reduce water loss. This supports the skin's natural barrier and helps keep skin hydrated, soft and comfortable.

  • Who can use QV Intensive Ointment?

    QV Intensive Ointment is suitable for adults, children and babies. Its gentle, fragrance-free formula is ideal for those with sensitive or very dry skin.

  • How often should I apply QV Intensive Ointment?

    Apply the ointment generously to affected areas as often as required, especially after bathing, showering or washing your hands. Regular application helps maintain hydration and protect the skin.

  • Can I use QV Intensive Ointment on my face?

    Yes. QV Intensive Ointment is suitable for use on both the face and body. Avoid contact with the eyes, and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.

  • Is QV Intensive Ointment suitable for eczema-prone skin?

    Yes. QV Intensive Ointment is commonly recommended for people with eczema because it helps restore the skin's moisture barrier, relieve dryness and reduce irritation.

  • Does QV Intensive Ointment contain fragrance or lanolin?

    No. QV Intensive Ointment is free from fragrance, colour, lanolin and propylene glycol, making it suitable for sensitive skin and those who wish to avoid these ingredients.

  • Can I use QV Intensive Ointment with prescribed skin treatments?

    Yes. QV Intensive Ointment can usually be used alongside prescribed topical treatments, including corticosteroid creams. Follow your doctor or pharmacist's advice regarding the timing of application.

  • Are there any side effects?

    QV Intensive Ointment is generally well tolerated. Rarely, some people may experience mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction. Stop using the ointment and seek medical advice if you experience severe redness, swelling or persistent irritation.

  • How should I store QV Intensive Ointment?

    Store QV Intensive Ointment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the container tightly closed and out of the sight and reach of children. As with all paraffin-based emollients, fabrics that come into contact with the ointment can become more flammable, so keep them away from naked flames and avoid smoking while using the product.
