Vagisan MoistCream is used to alleviate the symptoms of vaginal dryness (e.g., feeling of dryness, burning, itching, pain – including during intercourse). Vagisan MoistCream can be used both in the external intimate area and in the vagina. Vagisan Protective Ointment, on the other hand, is only used in the external intimate area to protect the skin from moisture and chafing as well as to soothe skin that is already irritated.
