Do not use in cases of known sensitivity to any of the ingredients. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. For use on the skin only. As with any product used in large quantities and applied repeatedly over long periods, build-up of dried residue on fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) makes the materials burn more easily and is a serious fire hazard. If using this product, do not smoke or go near naked flames. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it. Full safety information can be found in the accompanying package leaflet. It is important that you read and follow the instructions provided on the packaging and in the leaflet produced with this product. Use of this product for purposes other than those described, may result in unexpected side effects and can render the product ineffective. If your condition worsens or you experience any side effects, stop use immediately, and consider seeking advice from a healthcare professional. Any side effects or unexpected occurrences related to use of this product should be reported using the company details on the packaging.

Product description

Product Description

Doublebase Dry Skin - clinically proven, high performance emollient for problem dry skin including eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. The natural oils in healthy skin form a protective barrier which keeps moisture in and irritants out. People with dry skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis, can have a shortage of these natural oils. The end result is dry, chapped, flaky skin which is more prone to irritation. Many eczema creams, psoriasis creams and dermatitis creams have a high emollient oil content. Doublebase Dry Skin combines the high emollient oil content of a cream with the easy absorption of a gel. It also contains glycerol which is a humectant (it helps to hold onto water within the skin to reduce dryness). This combination helps soften, moisturise and protect the skin by trapping moisture and restoring its natural protective barrier. Doublebase Dry Skin's innovative gel formulation breaks down when it comes in to contact with natural salts in the skin; meaning it's easily absorbed in to the stratum corneum (top layer of skin) and provides a lasting, protective barrier of oils, even after gentle washing. *Wynne et al (2002)

How to use Dry Skin Emollient

  • Use as often as required. Dry Skin generally works best if you apply it frequently to get all the benefits of this long-lasting, high-performance emollient.
  • Gently work the emollient into dry skin. To avoid blocking hair follicles, smooth in the same direction as hair growth.
  • Be gentle – rubbing in vigorously can irritate dry skin conditions.
  • For best results use every day, even when skin appears normal; making sure you don’t just concentrate on problem areas. This will help make sure your skin stays in good condition.
  • Help trap moisture in your skin by applying Dry Skin straight after a shower or bath. Just pat your skin dry (rubbing can irritate dry skin conditions) before application.

Great product!
This cream has benefited me quite a lot, reduced the soreness in my hands and over time the thick skin is peeling off. In order to get better results, I have to use it more regularly, however, I'm not good at committing throughout the day everyday.. however, whenever I used it several times a day for several days in a row, the dead thick skin stared peeling off little by little, and improvement was noticeable. Nothing else that I could get off the counter has worked as good as this. Also, you can feel and see that it's keeping your skin hydrated.. I think the price and volume of cream is adequate considering you actually get results! I find that just one squirt every couple of hours is more effective than over doing it once or twice a day. Also if you over do it, your hands takes longer to absorb it, so you end up unable to use your hands for a little while, or everything gets oily around you. However a little of it get absorbed quick, and you're able to carry on doing what you're doing pretty quick! A

My hands got to the point where it was dry and peeling this winter. I wash my hands often, for example, after handling food or feeding my dog. It got to the point where the cracks of my fingers were bleeding and when I washed my hands with soap it stung. I was desperate to try anything - I used coconut oil (which helped but didn't last), other types of oil and shea butter, and hand cream bought from the store. Some of the items I used made my skin sting so much because of the fragrance and ingredients. After some research, I realised I needed to buy an emollient, and decided on this one because of the reviews. Let me tell you - it worked! I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, the first few days I even put cotton gloves on overnight to ensure it didn't come off during my sleep. Now, my hands are so much better, I can wash my hands again and they're not dry, peeling, crackling or bleeding. Hurrah! This product is incredible and I would highly recommend and purchase again!

I have been suffering with dry skin for a while, friend recommended it to me and when I used it the first time it stung and I was very sceptical if it will work but since then I've used it every day and I don't have dry skin anymore. Highly recommend

It’s a decent product it just doesn’t lock in the moisture as well as I hoped. for reference I have dry, sensitive skin and contact dermatitis not eczema. It’s light but not moisturising enough. I can feel it dry out after 30 mins of application.
