Cymex cream 5gCymex cream is used to treat cold sores or dry, cracked, or chapped lips. Its triple action relieves and promotes the healing of painful and unsightly cold sores.- Soothes away the tingling burning sensation.- Stops lips from drying and cracking.- Controls infection through anti-bacterial action and promotes faster healing.The cream contains urea, cetrimide, chlorocresol, dimeticone as the basic ingredients. The cream also contains liquid paraffin and cetostearyl alcohol, which are moisturising agents that prevent water evaporating from the lips.- Urea is a moisturiser that works by penetrating into the lips, where it attracts and retains water. Urea also breaks down keratin in the skin cells, helping them to shed, which softens and improves the appearance of dry, cracked lips. This action also improves the ability of moisturising ingredients to penetrate the lips and rehydrate them.- Dimeticone acts as water repellent to help protect the lips.- Cetrimide and chlorocresol are mild disinfectants that help control infection.
