cortizone anti itch

Hydrocortisone is the active anti-itch ingredient in Cortizone products, typically formulated at 1% strength.

Cortizone anti-itch products are available in multiple forms, including ointment, cream, lotion, and a roll-on stick.

Sizes range from travel-size 0.75 fl oz up to 3.5 ounces, with common tube sizes at 1 ounce and 2 ounces.

They target common minor skin irritations such as eczema, rashes, insect bites, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and poison ivy/oak/sumac reactions.

Some Cortizone items are labeled water resistant to help them stay on in water, and several entries note travel or trial/mini sizes intended for first aid kits and travel bags.

Formulations include petrolatum ointment bases, added moisturizers and vitamins (A, C, and E), and some formats are enriched with soothing aloe and oat extract.

Product details state they are suitable for adults and children ages 2 and up; warnings note they are not for children under two years of age.

Many Cortizone formulations are described as fragrance-free and dye-free, with some entries explicitly labeled 'no fragrance added' or 'dye-free.'

A roll-on liquid stick is offered with a no-touch metal rollerball for precise, hands-off application.
