cortisone cream

Most over-the-counter cortisone creams list 1% hydrocortisone as the active ingredient.

Many listings note suitability for adults and children aged 2 years and older; some explicitly state they are not for children under two and include standard "keep out of reach of children" warnings.

Product directions typically advise applying the cream no more than three to four times daily; similar instructions are noted across comparable products.

Many of the products are labeled fragrance-free or "No Fragrance Added," dye-free, and several are noted as paraben-free.

Several items are sold in travel or trial sizes, and some formulas are described as water-resistant, making them suitable for first-aid kits and outdoor travel packs.

Common warnings include keeping the product out of reach of children, avoiding contact with eyes, and notes that some formulations are not for use on children under two or should not be used if pregnant or nursing.
