Nucetyl Cleansing Lotion is a kind of moisturizer which is used to treat dry skin. It works by preventing water loss from the outer layer of the skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin soft and hydrated. Nucetyl Cleansing Lotion is for external use only. You should always use it exactly as your doctor has told you. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Avoid applying on open wounds or infected skin. You should not get it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. It is safe to use medicine with no common side effects. However, if you experience any unusual side effects contact your doctor. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction.
