Good Morning!!
My take on the product:
The Hydromax CT is a light brown colored cream. In the first look of the cream, I could relate its color to be the outcome of a gentle mix of cocoa butter and coal tar as its ingredients. The consistency of the cream is absolutely appropriate for the purpose of richness. Its neither runny not overly thick that takes extra effort to scoop out of the jar. Talking about the fragrance, I actually found the smell not very pleasant. It bears a peculiar medicinal sort of fragrance that is real turn-off factor for me. Because such smell itches my nose.
Still I managed to apply the cream on my body, reason being I had heard at length about benefits of coal tar in skin care products and was keen to use a product based on coal tar. You might be knowing from my previous posts that I use body butters, lotions, creams etc all the year long because my skin needs intense moisturization. So I can't dare to ignore my skin care regimen.
I am sharing my views on Ethicare Remedies Hydromax CT creams that is formulated for maximum hydrating feel with high concentration of occlusive agents that lock in moisture for longer time.

Anyways, in the first application, the cream felt as greasy as I am using petroleum jelly. But as it got absorbed into skin in a minute or so, it felt extremely moisturizing on my dry skin. It left the top surface of skin quite smooth and imparted a healthy glow to it.
Its staying power is too good. The lubrication on skin remains effective for almost good 5-6 hours, that is quite impressive.
I strongly believe that the regular usage of Hydromax CT can help me get rid of flaky skin during harsh winter season too since it is enriched with emulsifiers too.
I can't talk of its effectiveness on Psoriasis, Eczema or other skin diseases as I have no such issues.
Pros:
Cons:
I wish the fragrance could have been something pleasant.
Hydromax CT is a promising product that keeps its promise of long lasting hydration. If you may set aside the fragrance issue, it is worth spending every penny.
