Product Analysis Summary

About this product

Aquaphor 1% Hydrocortisone Ointment is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions. It is typically indicated for the relief of itching, redness, and inflammation associated with eczema, insect bites, allergic reactions, and dermatitis. Hydrocortisone is a synthetic form of cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. This ointment works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system's response in the skin. It should be applied thinly to the affected area, typically one to two times daily as directed by a healthcare professional. Prolonged use or application to large areas may increase the risk of side effects. Consult a doctor before using on children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or if symptoms worsen.
