Benefits of Richmoist Cream
A moisturiser of this kind helps hold water in the outer layer of the skin and leaves it feeling softer and smoother. Regular use can make everyday dryness, especially in dry weather or after bathing, more comfortable.
Side effects of Richmoist Cream
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Mild redness, itching or a stinging feeling at the application site in sensitive skin.

How to use Richmoist Cream
Apply a thin layer to clean, slightly damp skin and massage gently until absorbed. Use once or twice a day, or as needed. For external use only; avoid the eyes and open wounds.
How Richmoist Cream works
Moisturising creams form a light protective layer over the skin and help it retain water, which reduces dryness and flaking.
