Dermol Cream 100g is a trusted solution for comprehensive skin care, acting both as a leave-on application and a soap substitute. It is highly beneficial for treating and preventing dry and itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, particularly for those suffering from eczema and dermatitis. This versatile cream is suitable for all age groups, including babies.
How Dermol Cream 100g Works
Dermol Cream 100g contains two types of active ingredients that work synergistically to provide relief:
- Antimicrobials: Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride work to combat bacteria present on your skin. These bacteria can often exacerbate conditions like eczema and can contribute to infections, especially when itchy skin is scratched. By reducing bacteria, Dermol Cream 100g helps to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Emollients: Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are powerful emollients. They help to soften, moisturise, and protect your skin by creating a barrier that traps moisture. This action restores the skin's natural protective function, preventing the dryness and irritation often caused by ordinary soaps, foaming additives, and fragrances found in regular cleansing products.
Using Dermol Cream 100g as part of your daily routine can significantly help to break the itch-scratch cycle often associated with dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. While scratching provides temporary relief, it can further damage the skin, making it more prone to infection and increasing the urge to scratch. Regular application of Dermol Cream 100g helps to reduce itching by keeping the skin hydrated and protected.
Maximising Benefits for Dry Skin
For best results, incorporate Dermol Cream 100g into your daily routine:
- Gentle Cleansing: Use Dermol Cream 100g as a soap substitute during washing, bathing, or showering. Unlike conventional soaps, it won't foam or lather, but it will cleanse your skin effectively without stripping its natural moisture.
- Moisturise Regularly: After washing, gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel, avoiding vigorous rubbing. Apply Dermol Cream 100g to affected areas, smoothing it gently into the skin. Reapply as often as needed throughout the day to maintain skin hydration.
- Combine with Other Treatments: Dermol Cream 100g can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist. When combining, allow sufficient time for each product to soak in between applications.
Remember, choosing warm water over hot water for baths and showers, and avoiding prolonged immersion, can also help prevent worsening dry skin conditions. Explore our range of Skin Care products at Weldricks Pharmacy to support your skin health.
