Information
- Dermol 500 Lotion is an antimicrobial and emollient (softening and moisturising) treatment for application to dry or problem skin.
- It is for use in two ways: as a leave-on application or as a soap-substitute.
- It helps treat and prevent dry and itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, especially eczema and dermatitis.
- All age groups can use Dermol 500 Lotion, including babies.
- 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 preventing 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.
