AproDerm Ointment 50g

Experience lasting comfort with AproDerm Ointment, designed to prevent further skin damage and provide deep, sustained moisturisation. This non-greasy ointment forms a protective barrier, locking in essential moisture to help control the symptoms of dry and irritated skin conditions like dermatitis.

Its suitability from birth makes it a go-to choice for families seeking reliable care for delicate skin. Maintain healthy, hydrated skin and reduce the risk of future flare-ups with consistent application of AproDerm Ointment.

How to Use AproDerm Ointment

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying the ointment.
• Break the tamper-evident seal on the pump. Turn the pump clockwise and press the nozzle down several times to dispense the ointment onto your hand. Note: The first time you use it, you might need to press the nozzle up to ten times before the ointment comes out – this is normal.
• Apply AproDerm Ointment regularly, liberally, and frequently (at least 3 times a day) to the affected area.
• Use gentle strokes and apply in the direction of hair growth.
• Do not rub the ointment into the skin, as this can generate heat, potentially causing further irritation and itching. Rubbing can also block hair follicles, leading to folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles).
• Leave a thin layer of ointment on the skin to soak in (the skin should glisten). This typically takes about 10 minutes.
• AproDerm Ointment can be used as a pre-bathing emollient to help prevent the skin from drying out further.
• It should also be applied after bathing to skin that is almost dry to trap in moisture.
• Continue applying AproDerm Ointment even after your skin has improved to help prevent the risk of flare-ups.

Important Warnings for AproDerm Ointment

• Do not use AproDerm Ointment if you are allergic to any of the listed ingredients.
• Consult your doctor or pharmacist if your skin is bleeding, infected, broken, or badly cracked.
• Do not use if the tamper-evident seal is damaged or missing.
• Before widespread application, test a small amount of AproDerm Ointment on a small area of skin and leave for 48 hours. If there is no reaction or irritation, then you can apply it all over the affected area of skin.
