How Does it Work
Hydrocortisone 1% lip balm is an effective topical treatment for general dry lips. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that has been shown to reduce inflammation and provide relief from dryness and other minor skin irritations. When applied directly to the affected area, it will provide quick relief from the symptoms of dryness. Hydrocortisone works to reduce inflammation and relieve dryness and itching by decreasing the production of inflammatory chemicals released by the body and slowing down the release of histamine, a protein produced by the body that can trigger allergic responses. The combination of hydrocortisone and petrolatum helps to protect against further water loss and damage to the lips, allowing for more rapid healing. The addition of Vitamin E and other natural oils helps to moisturize, heal and protect the delicate skin of the lips. In summary, Hydrocortisone 1% lip balm is an effective treatment for general dry lips, providing quick relief from the symptoms of dryness and other minor skin irritations.
