Dry, Dehydrated & Damaged Skin
Nine products for body-wide dryness at every intensity - a focused range of products for dry and dehydrated skin in India, from lightweight daily lotions (Hydromax, Hydrofil) through to intensive butters and condition-specific creams. Buttermax is a rich body butter cream for very dry skin, while Cetylex (Featured) is a urea cream for very dry and rough skin formulated for keratosis-pilaris-type texture. Hydromax CT combines Coal Tar and Salicylic Acid in a more targeted formula for scaly, psoriasis-adjacent dryness. Hydrofil Moisturizing Cream (Featured) carries the broadest concern profile in the category, covering dry, dehydrated, rough, flaky, cracked, tight, winter-affected, and mature skin. Category USP Choose by intensity, not just "moisturizer." A daily lotion (Hydromax, Hydrofil Lotion) for regular upkeep; a richer cream (Hydromax, Hydrofil Cream) for more persistent dryness; and Buttermax, a body butter cream for very dry skin, for the coldest months or skin that needs deeper nourishment. A condition-specific option, not just a generic cream. Hydromax CT is a coal tar salicylic acid cream for scaly dry skin, combining two well-recognised ingredients for stubborn, flaky skin rather than relying on moisturising alone. Exfoliation and hydration combined. Cetylex pairs Urea and Glycolic Acid with Ectoin and Oat Meal Extract, making it a urea cream for very dry and rough skin that smooths uneven texture while restoring hydration - without requiring a separate exfoliating step.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between Hydromax Cream, Hydromax Lotion, and Hydromax CT? Hydromax Cream and Lotion share the same Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, Olive Oil, and Avocado Oil base in different textures - the cream is richer, while the lotion is lighter. Hydromax CT is a coal tar salicylic acid cream for scaly dry skin, formulated for more persistent flaking and scaling.
- My skin is rough and bumpy, not just dry - what should I use? Cetylex Cream is formulated with Urea and Glycolic Acid specifically for rough, keratosis-pilaris-type skin. It's a urea cream for very dry and rough skin, rather than a standard moisturiser for everyday dryness.
- What's the most intensive option for winter dryness? Buttermax is the richest product in the category - a body butter cream for very dry skin that's particularly well suited to severe winter dryness, cracked skin, and areas that need long-lasting nourishment.
- Is there a gentle cleanser for very dry, sensitive skin? Yes. Epiclin Cleansing Lotion is a soap-free, non-foaming cleanser developed for skin that reacts to conventional soaps, making it a good companion to other products for dry and dehydrated skin in India.
- Is Kozilite Lotion for dryness or pigmentation? Pigmentation. Kozilite is a body-format brightening lotion intended for uneven skin tone rather than as a daily moisturiser. If your primary concern is dryness, a body lotion for winter dryness in India such as Hydrofil or Hydromax would be the more appropriate choice.
- Which product is best for extremely dry or cracked skin? For persistent dryness, Buttermax and Hydrofil Cream are the most intensive moisturising options in the range. If the concern extends to very rough areas, Cetylex is often the better choice, while a dedicated cream for cracked heels and rough skin may be more appropriate for thickened skin on the feet.
