What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Dermol 200 Shower Emollient?
Dermol 200 Shower Emollient is an antimicrobial and emollient treatment that can be used to treat and prevent dry and itchy skin conditions, particularly eczema and dermatitis. It softens and moisturises the skin and helps to combat bacteria and prevents infection caused by scratching itchy skin. This product is suitable for all age groups who normally shower and can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the active ingredients in Dermol 200 Shower Emollient?
There are two types of active ingredients in Dermol 200 Shower Emollient: benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, which are antimicrobials, and liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which are emollients. These ingredients work together to combat bacteria on the skin, prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin, soften and moisturise the skin, and restore the normal protective function of the skin.

After washing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel. For use as a leave-on application, apply it to the affected areas, gently smooth into the skin, and if necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.

Does Dermol contain steroids?

Usage and Instructions
For best results, you should use this product on a regular basis and whenever you shower.
You can use the emollient to wash with instead of ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products. After washing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).
Or you can apply it to affected areas after your shower and gently smooth into the skin. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously. Reapply as often as required.
If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin, try to avoid mixing the two products by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.
How do you use Dermol shower emollient?
Dermol shower emollient is a moisturising shower cream designed to be used as an alternative to soap for anyone with dry, itchy, or sensitive skin. It's easy to use: just apply the cream to wet skin and massage gently to create a lather. Rinse off thoroughly with water. For best results, use Dermol shower emollient as part of your daily skincare routine.
