Product Overview
Isomol Gel 500g (Epimax) is a light emollient gel with isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin for soothing dry, irritated skin, providing long‑lasting hydration and a cooling effect. Can be used as a moisturiser or shower/bath substitute.
Description
Isomol® Gel 500g is a lightweight emollient moisturising gel designed to help relieve dry, itchy and eczema-prone skin, particularly where a cooling, non-greasy formulation is preferred. It is suitable for people with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions.
Isomol® Gel works by hydrating the skin and reducing moisture loss, helping to restore comfort and improve skin softness. The gel formulation absorbs quickly, making it especially suitable for hairy areas, warm weather, or individuals who find creams and ointments too heavy.
The formulation is fragrance-free, colour-free, and suitable for use on both the face and body. The large 500g size makes it ideal for frequent, long-term use by adults and children as part of a regular skincare routine.
