Information
- Dermol Wash is a moisturising, protective and antiseptic soap substitute for you to use whenever you wash. It has been developed for use instead of soaps (bars and liquids) and cleansers, both of which may irritate dry skin.
- Dermol Wash can also be used as a leave on treatment, re-applied after washing and drying.

When used as part of your normal washing routine, it helps to: cleanse, soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping in moisture and restoring the normal protective function of the skin to prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary cleansing products.
