How does Adex gel help treat dry skin conditions?
Adex gel contains an emollient, which forms a protective barrier over the skin when applied, helping to lock moisture in and protect the skin from irritants. This barrier can help treat dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis by reducing inflammation and helping the skin to heal and stay hydrated.
Does Adex Gel contain steroids?
Adex Gel does not contain steroids. Aside from the emollient, which forms the protective barrier on the skin in order to lock in moisture, Adex Gel contains nicotinamide which has natural anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for calming irritated skin. Nicotinamide is however not a steroid, Adex gel is thus steroid-free.
Is Adex Gel the same as Doublebase?
The ingredients in Adex Gel and Doublebase Dry Skin Emollient are identical with one exception which is the nicotinamide in Adex Gel, which has natural anti-inflammatory properties.
How long does it take for Adex Gel to work?
Results from using Adex Gel should be seen within a few days of regular use. Dry skin becomes softer and skin with symptoms related to eczema or psoriasis, such as scaly skin, should see a positive effect within a few days as well. It is important to note that for treating eczema and psoriasis results may vary widely between individuals and also will depend on the severity of the condition.
Can you put Adex Gel on your face?
Adex gel is light in formulation making it suitable for the whole body, including the face. Depending on individual skin type it is encouraged that individuals test different products to find one that suits their individual needs. There is nothing in the ingredient list of Adex Gel which would make it unsuitable for application on the face.
Please note: accidental eye contact may create irritation.
What age can you use Adex gel?

How to apply Adex gel?

The gel should be smoothed across the skin in the same direction as hair growth with a few light strokes for optimal effects (like stroking a cat or dog). Give any surplus time to absorb, if necessary. Don't forcefully massage the skin. Use enough Adex Gel to make the skin seem glossy, and then give it some time to absorb.
How much time is needed to absorb?
The time should normally be around 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, to avoid diluting other products and avoid spreading them around the areas that don’t need it.
