How does Dermol 200 Shower emollient work to alleviate dry skin condition & Eczema?

Dermol 200 Shower Emollient contains  two types of active ingredients:

  1. Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride are antiseptic and antibacterial.

Eczema can be a problem for people who have it, and these lotions help with the symptoms. The way they work is by preventing infection caused from dry skin that’s often scratched in eczemics’ scratching sessions as well as combatting bacteria present on your skin which causes worse eczema conditions.

2. Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients which help to:

  • soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin
  • prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary skin cleansing products.

What is Eczema?

Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is the most common form of eczema, a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, dry and cracked.

Atopic eczema is more common in children, often developing before their first birthday. But it may also develop for the first time in adults.

It’s usually a long-term (chronic) condition, although it can improve significantly, or even clear completely, in some children as they get older.

Atopic eczema causes the skin to become itchy, dry, cracked and sore.

Some people only have small patches of dry skin, but others may experience widespread inflamed skin all over the body.

Inflamed skin can become red on lighter skin, and darker brown, purple or grey on darker skin. This can also be more difficult to see on darker skin.

Although atopic eczema can affect any part of the body, it most often affects the hands, insides of the elbows, backs of the knees and the face and scalp in children.

People with atopic eczema usually have periods when symptoms are less noticeable, as well as periods when symptoms become more severe (flare-ups).

How To Use

How To Use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient

Use it only on the skin. For maximum benefit you should use this product on a regular basis and whenever you shower.

The same instructions apply for all age groups who normally shower:-

  • To use the product, remove the hooked overcap and attach it to the base of the bottle for hanging in the shower.
  • Holding the bottle upside down, gently squeeze the product into the palm of your hand.

 

For use as a soap substitute

  • Use Dermol 200 Shower 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).

 

For use as a leave-on application (eg after showering):

  • Apply Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to the affected areas.
  • 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 as Dermol 200 Shower Emollient, 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.

 

If you forget to use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient

Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use it, just carry on using the product as described the next time you require it.

If the product gets into the eyes

The product may cause irritation if it gets into the eyes. Rinse the eyes with plenty of water. If rinsing one eye, take care to avoid washing product into the other eye. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

Product Details

Product Information of Dermol 200 Shower Emollient

Do not use this product if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, liquid paraffin, isopropyl myristate, or any of the other ingredients of Dermol 200 Shower Emollient listed in Section 6.

Warnings and precautions

As with any product, severe generalised allergic reactions (see Section 4) are possible. Very rare reports of such reactions in susceptible individuals, leading to a drop in blood pressure and even to unconsciousness, have been associated with products containing chlorhexidine. You must not use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient if you have had problems with chlorhexidine-containing products in the past.

Do not smoke or go near naked flames – risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it.

Take care when using this product:

  • If using as a leave-on application, it is generally a good idea for patients with very sensitive skin to start any new treatment on a small test area first, in case any side effect occurs (see Section 4 below). This is especially important when treating the face or young children. Thereafter, treatments may be applied more generously, as required.
  • Avoid getting it in the eyes, especially when using it on the face.
  • It can make your shower tray (or bath surface) slippery, so be careful to avoid slipping over when getting into and out of your shower (eg by using a shower or bath mat).
  • After use, clean out the shower tray with a suitable detergent to remove any remaining greasiness (wearing protective gloves to avoid irritating your hands).
