ALHYDRAN medical hydrating cream
Use ALHYDRAN for after care of the skin immediately after wound closure and treatment for the disrupted skin barrier:
- After-care of burns
- After-care following radiotherapy
- Treatment of scars
- After-care of skin transplants, donor sites

These indications are examples of serious disruption of the skin barrier, as a result of which the skin will lose too much moisture, the skin dries out, complaints will occur (the skin irritates, itches, is red, etc). This vulnerable skin must be assisted in order to function and heal.
Optimal skin hydration
Alhydran cream ensures optimal hydration of the epidermis (by means of a unique combination of hydration and occlusion), and promotes healing of the skin barrier. The effectiveness of Alhydran has been proven scientifically. As a result of this, the product has been widely used by specialists for more than 15 years.
The skin barrier
Regulating hydration is an important tool of the skin in protecting itself against harmful external influences. The amount of water that leaves the body via the skin is known as Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
Restore moisture balance within 2 hours
ALHYDRAN has a double function, both necessary for repairing a disrupted skin barrier.
Good skin barrier recovery requires the following:
- Optimal hydration of the epidermis
- Repair of the skin barrier
Use of ALHYDRAN results in long-term reinstatement of the moisture balance in the skin (see chart).
The result: The risk of scarring is decreased, existing scars and complaints such as itching are relieved, eczema triggers and peri wound complications are reduced, to promote optimal wound healing.
1. Optimal hydration of the epidermis
The unique, proven effect of ALHYDRAN ensures powerful hydration as well as moisture retention (via occlusion). This results in long-term reinstatement of the moisture balance in the skin.
2. Skin barrier recovery
ALHYDRAN contains ingredients, such as antioxidants, which protect the skin against free radicals. These unique restorative effects, in combination with optimal hydration and occlusion, ensure that the disrupted skin barrier can recover itself.
The benefits of ALHYDRAN are supported by extensive scientific researches and studies by specialists, scientists, dermatologists, hospitals and burn centers worldwide.
