Function
- Anti-inflammatory effect:
Hydrocortisone is an effective medicine that reduces inflammation in the skin and is suitable for treating redness, swelling and discomfort caused by allergies, irritation or other skin problems.
- Soothing effect:
For sensitive or easily irritated skin, hydrocortisone can provide immediate relief, alleviating itching and discomfort.
- Improve skin condition:
In some cases, hydrocortisone can help improve skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and other skin diseases by promoting healing of the skin.
- Regulate skin response:
By suppressing excessive immune responses, hydrocortisone can help regulate the skin’s response to external stimuli and reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions.

You can combine hydrocortisone with other soothing ingredients (such as aloe vera, glycerin, etc.) to create a soothing mask to help relieve skin irritation and redness.
- Sensitive skin products:
Hydrocortisone can be used as an ingredient in skin care products specifically for sensitive skin to help reduce allergic and irritation reactions.
