Why Dermatologists Prefer Ointment for Eczema Relief

Dermatologists prefer ointments by more than 3 to 1 vs other topical eczema formulations.³ It's easy to see why:

• Ointments provide even drug distribution across lesions while helping skin maintain moisture to soothe the dryness associated with eczema¹¹
• Protopic Ointment is not greasy, heavy, or sticky, so it can be used on the face and eyelids
• Using creams and lotions can dry the skin because they may contain alcohol. Protopic does not contain alcohol
