Ethicare Remedies Hydromax CT Cream Review

Good Morning!!

I am sharing my views on Ethicare Remedies Hydromax CT creams that is formulated for maximum hydrating feel with high concentration of occlusive agents that lock in moisture for longer time.

Key Ingredients: Coal Tar, Salicylic Acid.

Coal Tar - Helps slow down the rapid growth of skin cells and restore the skin's appearance and also reduces the inflammation, itching and scaling of psoriasis.
Salicylic Acid - Acts as a scale lifter, helping to soften and remove psoriasis scales. Specially prepared base considering Psoriasis, Eczema & Ichthyosis.
Other Ingredients:
Aqua, petroleum Jelly, Glycerine, Bee Wax, Avocado Oil Kokum Butter, Shea Butter, Perfume.

Price: Rs 199
Qty: 100 gm.

Shelf Life: 24 months.

Packaging: The product comes in a usual plastic jar of white color. The labels on the pack give details about all ingredients, price qty etc. The jar has tight screw cap. A protection seal on the neck of newly purchased jar makes the packaging spill proof. 

My take on the product:
The Hydromax CT is a light brown colored cream. In the first look of the cream, I could relate its color to be the outcome of a gentle mix of cocoa butter and coal tar as its ingredients. The consistency of the cream is absolutely appropriate for the purpose of richness. Its neither runny not overly thick that takes extra effort to scoop out of the jar. Talking about the fragrance, I actually found the smell not very pleasant. It bears a peculiar medicinal sort of fragrance that is real turn-off factor for me. Because such smell itches my nose.

Still I managed to apply the cream on my body, reason being I had heard at length about benefits of coal tar in skin care products and was keen to use a product based on coal tar. You might be knowing from my previous posts that I use body butters, lotions, creams etc all the year long because my skin needs intense moisturization. So I can't dare to ignore my skin care regimen.

Anyways, in the first application, the cream felt as greasy as I am using petroleum jelly. But as it got absorbed into skin in a minute or so, it felt extremely moisturizing on my dry skin. It left the top surface of skin quite smooth and imparted a healthy glow to it.

Its staying power is too good. The lubrication on skin remains effective for almost good 5-6 hours, that is quite impressive.

I strongly believe that the regular usage of Hydromax CT can help me get rid of flaky skin during harsh winter season too since it is enriched with emulsifiers too.

I can't talk of its effectiveness on Psoriasis, Eczema or other skin diseases as I have no such issues.

Pros:

• Good staying capability.
• Doesn't leave any greasy residue on skin.
• Gives intense hydration to skin.
• Smooth texture.
• Decent packaging.
• Reasonably priced.
• Widely available online.
• Suitable to all skin types. (oily skin people might not like it during summers)

Cons:
I wish the fragrance could have been something pleasant.

Hydromax CT is a promising product that keeps its promise of long lasting hydration. If you may set aside the fragrance issue, it is worth spending every penny.
