Product Description:
Elidel Cream (Pimecrolimus 1%) is a dermatologist-recommended, prescription topical treatment for managing mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema). Designed for both adults and children (as young as 2 years old), Elidel effectively reduces skin inflammation, redness, itching, and discomfort without the side effects associated with long-term steroid use.
Pimecrolimus, the active ingredient, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that helps prevent flare-ups, soothes irritated skin, and improves skin texture over time. The cream is gentle enough for sensitive areas such as the face, neck, and skin folds.
