What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Dermol 500 Lotion?

Dermol 500 Lotion is a versatile product that can help treat and prevent dry and itchy skin conditions, particularly eczema and dermatitis. It is an antimicrobial and emollient treatment that is suitable for all age groups, including babies. It can be used as a leave-on application or as a soap substitute to soften, moisturise and protect the skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin. This product can also combat bacteria present on the skin that can make eczema worse and prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin

What are the active ingredients in Dermol 500 Lotion?

Dermol 500 Lotion contains two types of active ingredients: Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, which are antimicrobials that combat bacteria present on the skin, and liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which are emollients that soften, moisturise, and protect the skin by trapping moisture in the skin.

What does it mean that Dermol has antimicrobial properties?

Antimicrobial properties mean that Dermol kills microorganisms or stops their growth on the skin. This can help when treating skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis as it helps combat bacteria on the skin that can worsen the symptoms. The antimicrobial properties can also help prevent inflammation caused by scratching itchy skin.

Can Dermol 500 Lotion be used with other emollients or treatments?

Yes, Dermol 500 Lotion can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.

Can Dermol 500 Lotion be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes, Dermol 500 Lotion can be used during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding, although safety trials have not been conducted.

What is the difference between lotions and creams for skin care?

Lotions have a higher water content and are less greasy than creams, making them quickly absorbed by the skin, and are ideal for normal to lightly dry skin in summer and warm months. On the other hand, creams have a 50/50 mix of water and oil, providing a heavier barrier for very dry skin, and are an ideal skin care product for winter and cold months. Creams tend to feel greasier than lotions because they contain more oil.

Patient information leaflet

Active Ingredients: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1% w/w, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride 0.1% w/w, Liquid Paraffin 2.5% w/w and Isopropyl Myristate 2.5% w/w.

For maximum benefit, you should use this product regularly and as often as needed.

As a soap substitute:

Use Dermol 500 Lotion to wash with instead of your ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products. After washing, bathing, or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).

For use as a leave-on application (e.g. after showering):

Apply Dermol 500 Lotion to the affected areas and gently smooth into the skin. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously. Re-apply as often as required.

If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Dermol 500 Lotion, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by using the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.

This product can be used during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding.

Do not use Dermol 500 Lotion if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or if you have a very sensitive skin.

Avoid getting it in the eyes, especially when using it on the face.

Dermol 500 Lotion contains cetostearyl alcohol. This ingredient may cause local skin reactions (eg contact dermatitis) in a small number of sensitive people. If you have been told by your doctor that you are sensitive to cetostearyl alcohol, please talk to your doctor before using this product.

Used this to help with dry, itchy skin. It’s very gentle and I like that it can be used as either a lotion or a substitute for soap.

I was prescribed Dermol lotion by the hospital for varicose eczema and advised to use it instead of soap for showering. I find it helps a lot with the itching which happens with this condition and now buy it myself for this reason.

After trying numerous products for dry, flaky and itchy facial skin, Dermol was recommended to me. It worked like magic and I now use a little on my face morning and evening. There has been no recurrence. (Male, mid 70s, spend a lot of time outdoors.)

Compared with other similar products, this is very light which on the plus side means it soothes and absorbs very quickly but when my hands are very bad I also need something with a bit more substance so that it lasts. I'll definitely buy more though because it is very good for my better days.
