Soothe, Calm, and Restore: The Benefits of Hydrocortisone 1% Lotion
Skin irritation can strike when you least expect it—itchy rashes, redness, swelling, and discomfort that disrupt your day and your confidence. Whether it’s due to eczema, allergic reactions, or even a brush with poison ivy, your skin deserves fast, effective relief. That’s where Hydrocortisone 1% Lotion comes in.
What is Hydrocortisone 1% Lotion?
Hydrocortisone is a low-potency corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching associated with a variety of skin conditions. At 1%, it’s one of the strongest strengths available over the counter—providing powerful symptom relief without the need for a prescription.
This lotion is specially formulated to absorb easily into the skin, delivering targeted anti-inflammatory action exactly where you need it.
What Does It Treat?
Hydrocortisone 1% Lotion is commonly used to treat:
-
Eczema and dermatitis
-
Insect bites
-
Poison ivy, oak, or sumac
-
Allergic rashes
-
Minor skin irritations and inflammation
-
Itchy, dry, or flaky skin patches
It provides fast-acting relief, helping to calm the skin and reduce flare-ups.
Why Lotion Over Cream?
While creams are thicker and more occlusive, lotion formulas are lighter and easier to spread across larger areas—making them ideal for use on the arms, legs, or other widespread rashes. They absorb quickly, leave less residue, and are preferred for sensitive or easily irritated skin types.
How to Use It
Apply a small amount to the affected area 1–4 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid using on broken skin or around the eyes unless advised.
Pro tip: Wash your hands before and after use, and only apply a thin layer to avoid overuse.
