Secura Dimethicone Protectant Coupons & Savings Card – Discount Prices from $10.87

This medication is a moisturizer designed to treat or prevent conditions like dry, rough, scaly, or itchy skin, as well as minor skin irritations such as diaper rash and radiation therapy burns. It contains emollients, which are ingredients that soften and hydrate the skin, reducing itchiness and flakiness. Some formulations, such as those with zinc oxide or white petrolatum, also act as a protective barrier against irritants like moisture. Dry skin occurs when there is a loss of moisture from the skin's outer layer. Emollients and moisturizers create an oily layer on the skin's surface to lock in moisture. Common emollients include petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone. Humectants like glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol draw water into the skin's surface layer. Additionally, many products contain ingredients such as urea, alpha hydroxy acids (like lactic, citric, and glycolic acid), and allantoin that help break down keratin, the protein that binds skin cells, allowing dead cells to shed and leaving the skin smoother and softer.
