NeoStrata® Problem Dry Skin Cream

NeoStrata® Problem Dry Skin Cream is a targeted body moisturiser for adults and teens with persistent rough, thickened or flaky patches on elbows, knees, heels and other problem areas. It combines chemical exfoliation with richer moisturisers to soften and smooth skin that ordinary lotions may not reach.

What it is

How to use

• AM: If you use the cream in the morning, apply to affected areas after showering and follow with a broad-spectrum SPF on exposed skin, as exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity.
• PM: For many people, evening application is preferred — cleanse, pat skin slightly damp, then massage a generous amount into problem areas.
• Use once daily to start; adjust frequency if you experience irritation. Avoid applying to broken or recently shaved skin.

Why it works

• AHA blend (manufacturer lists 20% AHA): helps loosen and remove thickened layers of dead skin so smoother skin surfaces are revealed.
• Maltobionic acid (a polyhydroxy acid): provides gentler exfoliation with added moisturising properties, suitable for tougher body areas.
• Pro‑Vitamin E: supports skin lipid comfort and helps lock in moisture.
• Amphoteric formulation: designed to be less likely to sting, supporting tolerability on thicker, dryer skin.
• Hydrating emollients and humectants: replenish and help maintain skin softness after exfoliation.

What to expect

• Within days: skin often feels softer and less flaky where the cream is applied.
• 2–4 weeks: many users notice clearer improvement in texture and reduced visible roughness.
• With ongoing use: maintenance of smoother, more flexible skin on targeted areas.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
• Avoid use on irritated, broken or infected skin. Discontinue if severe redness, swelling or allergic reaction occurs and seek medical advice.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or using other active treatments (strong acids, retinoids, or medical procedures), consult your healthcare professional before use.
