Doublebase Once Emollient Gel 100g

Formulated for the effective management of various dry skin conditions, Doublebase Once Emollient Gel 100g offers comprehensive care for those suffering from eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. Its cosmetically acceptable gel texture is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for all age groups.

How Doublebase Once Works

The therapeutic ingredients, including emollient oils and humectants, work together to:

• Soften, moisturise, and protect: By trapping moisture within the skin, the gel helps to restore the skin's normal protective function.
• Prevent drying and irritation: It forms a protective barrier that helps counteract the drying and irritating effects often caused by traditional soaps and cleansing products.
• Provide long-lasting action: The unique formulation ensures 24-hour hydration from a single application, reducing the need for frequent re-application throughout the day.

Doublebase Once Emollient Gel 100g can also be used as a soap substitute during washing to further prevent skin dryness and maintain its natural moisture balance. Its humectants create a Triple Action Protective System (T.A.P.S.), which minimises the need for conventional preservatives, making it a good choice for those with particularly sensitive skin.

This product can be used alongside any other emollients or treatments prescribed by your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

This product is for application to the skin only.

For maximum benefit, you should:

• Gently smooth Doublebase Once Emollient Gel 100g over and around all dry skin areas once daily or as often as needed.
• 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.
• When used as a soap substitute for washing, in order to prevent further drying of the skin, use as you would use your normal soap.
• If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Doublebase Once Emollient 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 forget to use Doublebase Once Emollient Gel 100g: Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use it, just carry on using the gel as described the next time you require it.
