Doublebase DrySkin Emollient - 250g

Doublebase Dry Skin Emollient 250 g is a clinically proven, high-performance moisturising emollient gel formulated to provide effective and lasting relief for very dry, flaky, itchy or rough skin. The unique formulation combines the high emollient oil content of a cream with the easy absorption of a gel, allowing it to penetrate quickly into the upper layers of the skin to help trap moisture, protect the skin’s natural barrier and support long-lasting hydration.

Doublebase Dry Skin Emollient is widely recommended by healthcare professionals and suitable for all ages, including infants, making it a trusted choice for daily management of dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. Its formulation is free from steroids, fragrances, colourings, parabens, SLS and MI preservatives to reduce irritation risk in sensitive skin types.

Usage Instructions (Pharmacy-aligned):

• This product is for external use on the skin only.

• Apply Doublebase Dry Skin Emollient to the affected areas as often as required, gently smoothing in the direction of hair growth to avoid irritation.

• Particularly beneficial after bathing, showering or hand-washing to help trap moisture in the skin.

• No vigorous rubbing — a gentle application optimises absorption and reduces the risk of irritation.
