Crystaderm® is a preservative-free first aid cream used for the treatment and prevention of minor skin infections such as acne, cuts, scrapes, grazes, burns and school sores (impetigo).

Crystaderm® First Aid Cream is essential for your family’s first aid kit and on the go. Providing a strong protection against skin infection, with no known risk of bacterial resistance.^1,2  This means it will be just as effective in the future as it is today. 

Crystaderm® dries fast and adheres to both moist and dry areas, and doesn’t stain skin, hands or fabric. A small amount of Crystaderm® goes a long way so can be applied sparingly, and the smooth, pearly white cream vanishes quickly on application.

Active Ingredients
Lipid stabilised hydrogen peroxide 1% w/w

Dosage
Cleanse the wound first with water and a mild soap before applying the cream. It should be applied 2-3 times a day, or when needed, to the affected areas. If an occlusive dressing is used, one application a day may be sufficient. A dry film may appear on the skin after application; this can be easily washed off with water.
The treatment period should not exceed 3 weeks. If symptoms persist for more than 3 weeks consult your doctor.

Warnings
Avoid contact with eyes - if the cream should accidentally get into the eyes, wash it out immediately with plenty of cold water. Crystaderm® cream is generally well tolerated and not associated with any serious side effects, however a mild sensation of burning may be experienced for a short time after application. For external use only.
