Dermovate cream or ointment?

Is it just a matter of personal preference, or are there objective reasons to choose ointment rather than cream? Best wishes, Jo

The ointment seems to work far better. I think it stays on the skin longer and therefore the active ingredients can work for longer, plus there is an emollient effect with the ointment which does not seem to be the same with the cream. I think there is a vast difference and have had to change a tube of cream for one of ointment before now.
