Description

AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g is an exceptional leave-on emollient designed to provide comprehensive care for very dry, reactive, and easily-irritated skin. Acting as both a highly effective soap substitute and a protective barrier, it helps to replenish moisture and support the skin's natural barrier function.

Its unique formulation, including 15% White Soft Paraffin and 6% Liquid Paraffin, works to create an occlusive layer that locks in essential moisture, offering lasting comfort and relief. This makes it particularly beneficial for managing the discomfort associated with conditions that cause dryness and irritation. It’s gentle enough for daily use across all ages, including babies, ensuring accessible care for the whole family.

FAQ

What is an emollient and how does AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g work?

An emollient is a moisturising treatment applied directly to the skin to soothe and hydrate it. AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g contains a blend of paraffins (White Soft Paraffin 15%, Liquid Paraffin 6%) which form a protective, occlusive layer on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to prevent water loss, keeping the skin hydrated, soft, and supple, while also protecting it from external irritants.

Can AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g be used on sensitive skin and for babies?

Yes, AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g is specifically formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin and is suitable for use from birth. It is free from common irritants such as SLS, parabens, chlorocresol, fragrance, and colour, making it a good choice for delicate or reactive skin.

How often should I apply AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g?

For best results, AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g should be applied regularly, liberally, and frequently to the affected areas, ideally at least three times a day. Consistent application helps to maintain skin hydration and protect the skin barrier, reducing the chance of dryness and irritation returning.

Directions

To ensure optimal benefits from AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g, please follow these directions carefully:

  • Preparation: Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying.
  • First Use: Break the tamper-evident seal on the pump. Turn the pump in a clockwise direction and press the nozzle down several times until the cream is dispensed. It is normal to need to press the nozzle up to ten times for the first use.
  • Application: Apply AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g regularly, liberally, and frequently (at least 3 times a day) to the affected area. Use gentle strokes, following the direction of hair growth.
  • Avoid Rubbing: Do not rub the cream vigorously into the skin. Rubbing can generate heat, potentially causing further irritation and itching, and may block hair follicles, leading to folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles).
  • Allow Absorption: Leave a thin layer of cream on the skin to soak in until the skin glistens; this usually takes about 10 minutes.
  • Bathing: AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g can be used as a pre-bathing emollient to help prevent the skin from drying out further. It should also be applied to almost dry skin after bathing to lock in moisture.
  • Ongoing Use: Continue applying AproDerm Emollient Cream 50g even after your skin has improved to help prevent the risk of flare-ups and maintain skin health.
