Smith & Nephew Secura Dimethicone Skin Protectant Cream 4 oz Tube — 5% Moisturizing, Fast-Absorbing Barrier

Secura Scented Dimethicone Skin Protectant Cream is a moisturizing, non-greasy topical cream that provides a protective barrier with 5% dimethicone to help shield skin from wetness and minor irritation.

Secura by Smith & Nephew offers a 4 oz tube of scented dimethicone protective cream formulated to soothe dry, rough, or irritated skin while defending against moisture exposure. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula leaves a transparent film so caregivers and users can inspect skin without removing the product. It’s suitable for daily use on perineal skin, areas prone to chafing, and other places needing a moisture barrier.

How does this cream protect skin against wetness and friction?

The cream contains 5% dimethicone, a silicone-based ingredient that forms a thin, breathable barrier on the skin. That barrier helps reduce direct contact with irritants such as urine or feces and minimizes friction that can worsen chafing or scaly patches.

• 5% dimethicone creates a protective, water-resistant layer
• Transparent formula maintains visual inspection of skin
• Non-greasy texture reduces transfer to clothing or briefs
• Helps temporarily protect chafed or wind-exposed skin

Is the texture and feel suitable for everyday use?

Yes — the Secura cream absorbs quickly and is designed not to leave a greasy residue. Its formula includes propylene glycol to boost moisturization while remaining light enough for repeated application without clogging undergarments.

• Fast-absorbing for comfortable daily wear
• Non-greasy finish that won’t wash away easily
• Doesn’t clog briefs, keeping skin breathable
• Transparent after application for easy monitoring

Where is this product most commonly used and how should it be applied?

The cream is commonly applied to perineal skin, areas prone to diaper rash, or any location needing a moisture barrier and gentle conditioning. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and reapply as needed; avoid using on deep wounds or infected areas.

• Apply thinly to clean, dry skin in affected areas
• Suitable for perineal area, diaper-prone skin, and chafed spots
