Collection: Creams for perioral dermatitis

Looking for a cream for perioral dermatitis? Our first recommendation is Zinc and Calendula Cream: 18% non-nano zinc oxide with homegrown calendula, plant oils and organic beeswax, and nothing else. It's the product perioral dermatitis sufferers ask us about most, and the one they review most warmly. Read what our customers say, and search the reviews for "perioral dermatitis" to hear from people living with it.

Not sure yet? Try it first in our Calendula Skin Rescue Sample Set.

How to use it: apply a thin layer straight onto the affected area. With PD, less really is more, so we don't suggest layering it over a balm. For the full routine, including cleansing, moisturising and make-up, see our natural perioral dermatitis treatment routine.

Why Calendula Cream for Perioral Dermatitis?

Calendula has been used on irritated skin for centuries and is wonderfully soothing. Our creams pair it with gentle plant oils, without the preservatives, emulsifiers and artificial chemicals found in most conventional creams. For reactive skin, those can mean one step forward and two steps back.

Not sure it's PD? If your skin is dry, flaky or stinging all over, see how to tell perioral dermatitis from a damaged skin barrier. To understand what's driving your flares, read our guide to perioral dermatitis causes and triggers.

Try before you invest in a full jar with our Calendula Skin Rescue Sample Set, and always patch test first.
