Diprobase Advance Cream - 500g

Diprobase Advanced Cream 500g is a clinically recognised emollient moisturising cream widely used within UK pharmacy practice to support the management of dry, red, irritated or eczema‑prone skin. The rich, yet non‑greasy formulation helps to soothe, smooth and hydrate compromised skin by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and enhances natural barrier function. It can provide up to eight hours of hydration and delivers a cooling sensation on application. This cream is steroid‑free, fragrance‑free and suitable for daily use by adults, children and babies, making it ideal for a family‑sized emollient in the home. It is commonly recommended for symptoms associated with eczema (atopic dermatitis), dermatitis, psoriasis and general dry or chapped skin.

Directions for Use

• For external use only.
• Apply as often as required to maintain skin hydration and comfort.
• Gently massage a thin layer of cream into the dry or affected area until absorbed.
• Particularly effective when applied immediately after washing or bathing, as this helps lock in moisture.
• Suitable for use on the face, body and limbs. Avoid contact with eyes; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Use regularly as part of your everyday skincare routine, especially in dry or cold weather.

If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional for further advice.
