Delicate skin with prescription creams: Gentle daily care alongside

Some people experience that the skin becomes thinner, drier or more delicate during certain periods, for example in connection with the use of certain prescription creams. This often raises the question: What can I do myself to look after the skin in the meantime? This guide explains what can make the skin more fragile, and how a gentle daily routine can be pleasant alongside the doctor's treatment.

Important: Prescription creams belong with your doctor. Always follow the doctor's instructions on use, dose and duration. Cosmetic skincare cannot and should not replace the treatment you have been prescribed.

What can make the skin thinner or more delicate?

• Certain prescription creams, for example corticosteroids (steroid creams), can affect the thickness of the skin with long-term use. It is the doctor who assesses this.
• Age, where the skin naturally becomes thinner.
• Hereditary factors.
• Weather and climate, for example cold and dry air.

What can you do yourself every day?

When the skin is delicate, daily care is about being gentle and holding on to moisture:

1. Wash gently with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free product.
2. Apply moisture while the skin is slightly damp.
3. Be gentle when applying, avoid rubbing hard.
4. Protect against sun and cold.
