What is NOW Solutions Vitamin D3 Cream?

NOW Solutions Vitamin D3 Cream is a high-potency topical product that combines 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per gram with an intensely moisturizing formula. Designed to nourish and soothe dry, rough skin, this cream also contains vitamin A, known for its antioxidant properties that help revitalize the skin. With a non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture, it provides deep hydration while delivering the benefits of vitamin D directly to the skin. Each 4 oz (113 g) container offers approximately 113 one-gram applications, equivalent to a quarter teaspoon.

Benefits of Vitamin D for the Skin

Vitamin D is essential for overall health. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and helps maintain normal muscle function. While its topical application does not replace oral intake, it can offer localized benefits. The vitamin A present in the formula complements the action of vitamin D, helping to protect the skin from oxidative damage and promoting its natural renewal. Together, these nutrients work to keep skin looking healthy and radiant.

How to Use Vitamin D3 Cream?

Apply a quarter teaspoon amount (approximately 1 gram) to clean, dry skin, massaging gently until fully absorbed. It can be used on dry or rough skin areas, such as elbows, knees, or hands. For best results, use daily as part of your skincare routine. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. This product is for topical use only; do not ingest.
