Dermol Wash Emulsion – 200ml

All age groups can use Dermol Wash, including babies.

Dermol wash is only for application to the skin. Use this product as part of your normal washing routine, instead of your ordinary soap (bar or liquid) or cleanser. For maximum benefit, you should use it whenever you wash (including routine hand washing).

Before using this product, turn the top of the pump dispenser anti-clockwise to unlock it. After unlocking, you will need to press down the pump dispenser several times to prime the pump before any product is dispensed.

Wash with this product in the same way as you would with any liquid soap.

Use it with a gentle washing action. The product will not foam or lather as you wash.

Rinse off (you should still be able to feel the product coating the skin).

Pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse). You can also use Dermol Wash as a leave-on treatment, by re-applying it after washing and drying.

Gently smooth the product into the dry skin areas. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.

If you are applying another product to the same areas of skin as Dermol Wash, try to avoid mixing the two products. You can do this by applying the treatments alternately, leaving enough time to allow the previous product to soak in.

Dermol Wash can be used for intensive and frequent hand-washing (e.g. for healthcare professionals in a clinical setting).

Using Dermol Wash, follow the hand-washing technique normally recommended.

Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Apply Dermol Wash to hands as a leave-on skin conditioner.

Keep out of sight and reach of children.

Do not use Dermol Wash after the expiry date shown on the container and carton. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.

Do not store above 25°C.

After using the product it is advisable to turn the top of the pump dispenser clockwise to lock it.

Try to avoid using normal soaps or shower products (even those labelled “moisturising”). This is because they tend to dry and irritate the skin. Avoid using products containing fragrances, as these can also cause skin problems. You should try to use a fragrance-free emollient “soap substitute” instead. This type of product will not foam or lather but will be better for your dry skin condition.

When bathing, try to use warm, not hot, water and avoid staying in the bath for long periods. This could make dry skin conditions worse.

Emollients help soften, moisturise and protect the skin. They play a central role in the treatment and management of dry skin conditions. For maximum effect, they should be applied regularly and as often as needed.

Breaking the itch-scratch cycle.

Some dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis are itchy and can be quite sore. Although scratching relieves the itching for a short while, it further damages the skin. Badly scratched skin easily gets infected. This makes it itchier and the urge to scratch becomes even greater. It is better if scratching can be avoided by reducing the itching. The regular use of emollients or moisturisers can help with this.
