Description

Doublebase Diomed Dry Skin Emollient 250g works by softening, moisturising, and protecting your skin. It contains the therapeutic ingredients isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, alongside glycerol, a powerful humectant. This combination effectively traps moisture within the skin, restoring its natural protective barrier and reducing dryness.

Unlock Lasting Relief for Dry Skin

The innovative gel formulation of Doublebase Diomed Dry Skin Emollient 250g breaks down upon contact with your skin's natural salts, allowing for easy absorption into the stratum corneum (the top layer of skin).

  • Easily absorbed and non-greasy: Leaves your skin feeling soft without a sticky residue.
  • Steroid-free: A gentle option for continuous use without the concerns associated with steroids.
