Information
- Dermol 200 Shower Emollient is an antimicrobial and emollient (softening and moisturising) treatment for you to apply to your skin as part of your normal showering routine.
- It helps to treat and prevent dry and itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, especially eczema and dermatitis.
- All age groups who normally shower can use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient.
- Helps to combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema worse and prevents infection caused by scratching itchy skin.
- Softens, moisturises and protects your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary skin cleansing products.
- This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.
Active Ingredient
Benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate. The other ingredients are cetostearyl alcohol, macrogol cetostearyl ether (cetomacrogol 1000), phenoxyethanol and purified water.
Dosage
- Use it only on the skin. For maximum benefit you should use this product on a regular basis and whenever you shower.
- The same instructions apply for all age groups who normally shower:-
- To use the product, remove the hooked overcap and attach it to the base of the bottle for hanging in the shower.
- Holding the bottle upside down, gently squeeze the product into the palm of your hand.
For use as a soap substitute
- Use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to wash with instead of ordinary soap or shower gel.
- It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products.
- After washing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).
For use as a leave-on application (eg after showering):
- Apply Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to the affected areas.
- Gently smooth into the skin.
- If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
- Reapply as often as required.
- If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Dermol 200 Shower Emollient, 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.
Warnings
- Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
- Do not smoke or go near naked flames - risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it.
Take care when using this product:
- If using as a leave-on application, it is generally a good idea for patients with very sensitive skin to start any new treatment on a small test area first, in case any side effect occurs. This is especially important when treating the face or young children.
- Avoid getting it in the eyes, especially when using it on the face.
- It can make your shower tray (or bath surface) slippery, so be careful to avoid slipping over when getting into and out of your shower (eg by using a shower or bath mat).
- After use, clean out the shower tray with a suitable detergent to remove any remaining greasiness (wearing protective gloves to avoid irritating your hands).
