Dry skin results from lack of water in the stratum corneum, which is the outer layer of skin cells. When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy. The stratum corneum contains natural water-holding substances that retain water seeping up from the deeper layers of the skin, and water is also normally retained in the stratum corneum by a surface film of natural oil (sebum) and broken-down skin cells, which slow down evaporation of water from the skin surface.

Cuma nak tambah sedikit maklumat.
Biasanya, aqueous cream digunakan semasa mandi, menggantikan sabun biasa yang boleh menyebabkan kulit kering. (Patient yang biasa guna selalunya akan bgthu yg cream ni x berbuih spt sabun biasa, so agak x best nak guna semasa mandi).
Alternatifnya, boleh guna cream ni sbg moisturizer, guna sebaik sahaja selepas mandi, selepas keringkan badan. Semasa mandi, boleh gunakan sabun yang ada pelembap (instead of sabun biasa) seperti Dove, Sebamed.
