Oilatum Shower Gel Fragrance Free 150g

Oilatum Shower Gel contains a medicine called light liquid paraffin. It is a non-foaming emollient gel that is used to treat itchy, irritating dry skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Oilatum Shower Gel works by:

• soothing, moisturising and conditioning your skin.
• stopping loss of moisture from your skin.

If this medicine is from your doctor or pharmacist, do exactly as they have told you. Otherwise, follow the instructions below. If you do not understand the instructions or you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

You should use Oilatum Shower Gel every time you wash or shower.

Using Oilatum Shower Gel in the shower, bath or sink

• Wash as usual. When your skin is still wet, rub the gel between your wet hands and apply liberally to the skin and massage gently. If you are applying the gel onto someone else, your hands as well as the area being treated, should be wet.
• Rinse with warm water.
• Lightly pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Do not rub as this will remove the Oilatum Shower Gel from your skin.
