How to use QV Cream
Apply a generous amount to clean, dry skin 1-3 times daily. For best results apply within 3 minutes of bathing while skin is still slightly damp - this seals in bath water moisture. For severe eczema flares, apply 4-6 times daily during the flare and continue twice daily once skin recovers.
Safe to use with prescribed topical steroids - apply the steroid first, wait 15 minutes, then apply QV Cream over the top.
