Aquaphilic medicine is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy, and mild skin irritations. Furthermore, some of the ingredients in the product are used primarily to protect the skin from irritation.
Dry skin is caused by dehydration in the upper layer of the skin. At this point, aquaphilic drugs work as an emollient or moisturizer by forming an oil layer on the top of the skin to trap water in the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and dimethicone are common emollients. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of the skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the keratin (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (including urea, alpha hydroxy acids like lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and allantoin). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, which helps the skin retain more water and results in smoother and softer skin.
