What is Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel

Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel helps to relieve dry, chapped, itchy, red and sore skin associated with eczema and other types of dermatitis, psoriasis, elderly skin and ichthyosis. This soap substitute is specifically formulated to be non-foaming and fragrance-free. When added to water it will help to cleanse, soften, moisturise and protect your skin by locking in moisture and restoring your skin natural moisture levels. It also helps to prevent the skin from drying out and becoming irritated from ordinary soaps with foaming additives and fragrances. Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel will also prevent flare-ups of your particular skin condition.

How to use Doublebase Emollient Wash Gel

For maximum benefit you should apply the gel on a regular basis.

Before using the 500 g bottle, turn the top of the pump dispenser anti-clockwise to unlock it. After unlocking, you will need to press down the pump dispenser several times to prime the pump before any gel is dispensed.
Apply Doublebase Gel to the affected areas of the skin morning and night, or as often as required.
Use a few gentle strokes to smooth the gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth like stroking a cat or dog. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
This product can also be used before and after washing, showering or having a bath to help condition your skin and stop it from drying further.
If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Doublebase Dayleve Gel, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.
