CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream Active Ingredient and How It Works
The key ingredient in CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream is Hydrocortisone Acetate 1%, a mild corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications that reduce the body’s natural response to skin irritation. When applied to the affected area, it helps calm the immune system’s reaction, reducing swelling, redness, and itching.
How to Use CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream
- Clean and dry the affected area of the body before applying the cream
- Apply a thin layer of cream 1 to 4 times a day
- Rub it in gently until it’s absorbed.
- Wash your hands after applying the cream, unless you are also treating your hands.
- Do not apply the CAREALL Anti-Itch cream to broken or infected skin unless advised by a healthcare provider.
- It’s for external use only and should not be used on the face, underarms, or groin unless directed.
How Fast Does CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream Work?
Most users notice improvement within a few hours after the first application. Significant relief usually occurs within 1 to 3 days of consistent use.
CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream Possible Side Effects
While CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream is generally safe for short-term use, some people may experience mild side effects, including:

Is CAREALL Anti-Itch Cream safe for children?

Can I use it on my face?
