OINMENTS are greasier than creams and have a thicker texture.

CREAMS are more acceptable cosmetically and tend to be used on the face as they are less visible.

PASTES are stiffer preparations which contain more powdered solids.

LOTIONS are liquid and used in areas such as the scalp where an ointment or cream would adhere to the hair.
