Germolene Wound Care Cream - 30g

Germolene Wound Care Cream – 30g is a gentle but effective antiseptic cream for everyday first aid. It is used on minor abrasions, cuts, scratches, burns, bites and stings, helping to prevent infection while the cream base softens skin and soothes irritation.

How it works: contains chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, a mild antiseptic that helps reduce the risk of infection in minor skin injuries. 

Always use as directed in the leaflet.

1. Wash your hands before and after using the cream.
2. Before first use, check the tube seal is unbroken, then pierce the seal using the inverted cap.
3. Thoroughly clean the affected area with warm water (do not use soap).
4. Apply a thin layer once or several times daily as required.
5. If you wish, the wound may be covered with a dressing after applying.
6. Replace the cap firmly after use.

Important: Avoid using other antiseptics at the same time, as this may reduce Germolene’s effectiveness.
