Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml

Effective Care for Dry, Itchy Skin

Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml offers comprehensive care for various dry and sensitive skin concerns, including those prone to persistent itching and irritation. Its unique formulation helps to restore your skin's natural smoothness, softness, and flexibility by replacing lost moisture and preventing further water loss. Regular use helps to significantly reduce uncomfortable symptoms like scaling, redness, and persistent itching, supporting a healthier skin barrier.

Dual-Action Formula: Emollient & Antiseptic

This powerful emollient lotion for dry skin combines intensive moisturisation with antiseptic action, making it an effective solution for skin that needs both hydration and protection. It features a blend of active ingredients:

• Liquid Paraffin 2.5% w/w and Isopropyl Myristate 2.5% w/w: These emollients work by creating a protective, waterproof barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier not only locks in existing moisture but also prevents water evaporation, keeping your skin hydrated and supple. They help to soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture and restoring its normal protective function.
• Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1% w/w and Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride 0.1% w/w: These active ingredients are effective antimicrobials that help to combat bacteria present on your skin. This is particularly beneficial for skin prone to irritation, where bacterial presence can worsen symptoms and lead to infection from scratching. They also help prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin.

By providing both intensive moisturisation and antiseptic action, Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml helps to break the itch-scratch cycle, promoting healthier, more comfortable skin. It can also be used as a gentle soap substitute for dry skin, reducing the irritant effects of conventional soaps and shower gels that often exacerbate dryness and irritation.

Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml is for external use only. For maximum benefit, use regularly and as often as required.

For use as a leave-on application:

• Apply Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml to the affected areas.
• Gently massage into the skin until absorbed. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
• Allow time for any excess to soak in.
• Reapply as often as required.
• If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.

For use as a soap substitute:

• Use Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml to wash with instead of your ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products.
• After washing, bathing, or showering, gently pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing, as this can make dry skin conditions worse).

Always read the full patient information leaflet before use. Please be aware that this product contains Liquid Paraffin which is highly flammable.

• Flammability Warning: Keep away from open or gas fires or hobs and naked flames, including candles etc. Do not smoke when using these paraffin-containing preparations. Bedding and clothing that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding regularly (preferably daily) helps minimise build-up, but complete removal may not be possible. Wash at a high temperature as paraffin is invisible and can accumulate over time.
• Allergies: Do not use Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, liquid paraffin, isopropyl myristate, cetostearyl alcohol, or any other ingredients of Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml. If you have previously experienced local skin reactions (e.g., contact dermatitis) to any of the ingredients, please talk to your doctor before using this product.
• Severe Allergic Reactions: Very rare but possible. Stop using Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml and get urgent medical help if you experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat; a sudden uncharacteristic red itchy skin rash (hives) away from the site of application; wheezing or breathing difficulty; feeling faint or dizzy; a strange metallic taste in the mouth; or collapse. Do not use if you have had problems with chlorhexidine-containing products in the past.
• Skin Reactions: Rarely, Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml can cause skin reactions on treated areas (redness, irritation, and/or itching), which may become more significant with excessive use in folded skin areas (e.g., groin or nappy area). If your skin condition seems to look or feel worse, stop using this lotion and tell your doctor or pharmacist.
• Test Area: For patients with very sensitive skin, it is generally recommended to start any new treatment on a small test area first, especially when treating the face or young children.
• Eye Contact: Avoid getting Dermol 500 Lotion 500ml in the eyes. If it gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
• Slippery Surfaces: When used as a soap substitute in the bath or shower, the product can make the surface slippery. Be careful to avoid slipping (e.g., by using a shower or bath mat).
• Pregnancy and Breast-feeding: This product can be used during pregnancy and whilst breast-feeding. However, when breast-feeding, if use on the nipples is necessary, apply sparingly and gently wipe away any remaining product before feeding your baby. The ingredients have been in widespread use in this and similar preparations for many years, without reports of problems. However, safety trials have not been conducted.
