Who is Cetaphil® PRO ItchControl Protect Protective Hand Cream suitable for ? Every
day, our hands perform important work in the home and garden or at work and are exposed to many stresses. Cetaphil PRO ItchControl Protect Protective Hand Cream has been specially developed for all those who frequently come into contact with, for example, water, soaps, cleaning agents, disinfectants, or water-miscible cooling lubricants.
Highly effective skin protection is an important prerequisite for healthy skin. The hands of medical professionals and nurses, as well as hairdressers, bakers, cooks, construction workers, gardeners, and tradespeople, are constantly exposed to stress and skin-irritating substances. Wearing gloves to protect the hands isn't always possible. This makes preventative protection all the more important.
How does hand cream help protect my skin?
Cetaphil PRO ItchControl hand cream contains a special protective complex that effectively protects hands when in contact with water, soaps, and cleaning agents. The hand cream strengthens the skin's barrier function, reduces water loss, and increases moisture content. This makes it harder for harmful substances to penetrate, and the skin becomes less dry, cracked, or brittle.
Why is a protective hand cream recommended?
When the skin on the hands is repeatedly subjected to stress, the risk increases that the skin's natural protective barrier will be damaged and no longer function properly. The skin loses moisture, allowing pollutants to penetrate more easily and attack the hands. Repeated stress can even lead to chronic hand eczema. Severe and chronic hand eczema is one of the most common occupational skin diseases, and treatment is lengthy and requires considerable patience. Therefore, to prevent this, the skin on the hands should always be cleaned, protected, and cared for with particular care during all demanding activities.
How often should the hand cream be used?
Always apply Cetaphil PRO ItchControl Protect Protective Hand Cream before starting work, after breaks, after washing your hands, and before any activities that put stress on the skin.
For best results, apply the hand cream to the backs of your hands and rub them together. Don't forget the areas between your fingers and your fingertips! Then spread the remaining cream on your wrists and palms.
Tip: The cream is also suitable for use in the food industry and under gloves.

Signs of a damaged skin barrier on the hands
The damage is usually not noticed immediately, as the skin is initially able to regenerate. However, with repeated exposure, the skin damage becomes visible. Typical and often visible signs of a disrupted skin barrier include dryness, itching, redness, cracked fingertips, blisters, or fissures. The backs of the fingers and hands, as well as the palms, are primarily affected. Adjacent areas of the forearms can also be affected. Therefore, to prevent this, the skin of your hands should always be cleaned, protected, and cared for with particular care during all activities that put stress on the skin.
