Doublebase Gel 100g

Doublebase Gel 100g provides essential moisture and protection for your skin. Its active ingredients, isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, work together to form a protective barrier, trapping moisture within the skin and restoring its natural protective function. This helps to alleviate dryness, reduce itchiness, and prevent further irritation.

Regular use of Doublebase Gel 100g is key to breaking the itch-scratch cycle often associated with dry skin conditions. By keeping the skin soft and hydrated, it minimises the urge to scratch, promoting healing and comfort. It can also be used as a soap substitute, protecting your skin from the drying and irritating effects of ordinary soaps and fragrances commonly found in washing products.

How Doublebase Gel Works

As an emollient, Doublebase Gel 100g helps to:

• Softens and moisturises: By providing a layer of oil on the skin surface, it reduces water loss and keeps the skin hydrated and supple.
• Protects the skin: It reinforces the skin's natural barrier, helping to prevent irritants from entering and moisture from escaping.
• Soothes irritation: The hydrating action helps to calm inflamed, red, and sore skin, providing comfort.

This product can be seamlessly integrated into your daily skincare routine and used alongside other prescribed treatments for optimal results. For maximum benefit, it's recommended to apply the gel regularly and as often as needed.

At Weldricks Pharmacy, we understand the importance of accessible and trustworthy healthcare. Doublebase Gel 100g is a proven choice for managing various dry skin concerns, delivered with our commitment to friendly service and professional care.

This product is only for application to the skin.

For maximum benefit you should apply the gel on a regular basis and as often as required.

• Apply Doublebase Gel 100g to the affected areas of the skin on a regular basis and as often as required.
• Use a few gentle strokes to smooth the gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth (like stroking a cat or dog). If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
• This product can also be used before and after washing, showering or having a bath to help condition your skin and stop it from drying further.
• If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Doublebase Gel 100g, 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.

If you occasionally forget to use it, just carry on using the gel as described the next time you require it.
