AproDerm Gel 100g

This advanced occlusive emollient gel works by creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface, locking in essential moisture and reducing water loss. Unlike some ointments, AproDerm Gel 100g offers intense hydration without feeling greasy, making it comfortable for regular and frequent use across various parts of the body.

How AproDerm Gel Supports Your Skin

The active ingredients, Liquid Paraffin (15%) and Isopropyl Myristate (15%), are well-known emollients. Liquid Paraffin acts as an occlusive agent, forming a thin, oily layer on the skin to prevent moisture evaporation, while Isopropyl Myristate helps the skin absorb moisture and feels less greasy than pure paraffin. Together, they replenish the skin's natural barrier, helping to alleviate dryness, reduce itching, and calm irritation.

AproDerm Gel is a considerate choice for delicate skin as it is:

• SLS free: Reducing the risk of irritation from harsh detergents.
• Parabens free: Free from common preservatives that can sometimes cause sensitivity.
• Triethanolamine free: Avoiding potential skin sensitizers.
• Fragrance free: Ideal for sensitive skin that reacts to perfumes.
• Colour free: Minimising unnecessary additives.

Trusted by UK pharmacies, AproDerm Gel 100g is suitable for daily use by adults and children, helping to maintain skin health and prevent flare-ups. Shop with confidence at Weldricks Pharmacy, a family-run business committed to providing accessible and professional healthcare.

To ensure optimal absorption and avoid irritation, follow these application guidelines:

• Always ensure your fingernails are short and smooth to prevent scratching or damaging your skin during application.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the gel.
• Break the tamper-evident seal on the pump. Turn the pump clockwise and press the nozzle down several times until the gel dispenses. The first time you use AproDerm Gel 100g, you may need to press the nozzle up to 10 times, which is normal.
• Apply AproDerm Gel 100g regularly, liberally, and frequently to the affected areas. Smooth it onto the skin using gentle strokes, always following the direction of hair growth.
• Do not rub the gel in vigorously, as this can generate heat and potentially cause further irritation and itching. Rubbing can also block hair follicles, leading to folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles).
• Leave a thin layer of gel on the skin and allow it to be absorbed naturally; this usually takes about 10 minutes.
• The frequency of application will depend on the severity of your skin condition. Generally, it is recommended to apply AproDerm Gel 100g liberally to affected areas on a regular basis, and as often as required or as directed by your doctor.
• AproDerm Gel 100g can be used before bathing to protect your skin from the drying effects of water, and also after bathing on almost dry skin to help trap in moisture.
• Continue applying AproDerm Gel 100g even after your skin has improved, to help protect against future flare-ups and maintain healthier skin for longer.

Please observe the following warnings for safe use of AproDerm Gel 100g:
