What makes birch tar cream different from regular moisturizers for dry skin?

Medikomed Tar Cream differs from standard moisturizers through its birch tar base, which forms a light protective layer on the skin surface. This barrier helps reduce the feeling of tightness that often occurs after washing, while also keeping the skin surface softer. Unlike cleansing products with tar that are rinsed off, this cream remains on the skin longer, making it practical for targeted application to small dry patches. The inclusion of birch bud extract, calendula, yarrow, and fenugreek extracts adds conditioning properties that support a calmer, more balanced skin feel. This combination makes it particularly suitable for areas prone to dryness from wind exposure, frequent washing, or clothing friction.
