Description
Doublebase Once Gel
Doublebase Once Gel is an advanced gel that can moisturise dry skin for 24 hours after just one application, making it ideal for managing dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis. Its therapeutic ingredients include emollient oils and humectants to soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin. They also help to 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 cleansing products; in fact the product itself can be used as a soap substitute. The humectants in Doublebase Once Gel also form the Triple Action Protective System (T.A.P.S.) so that more commonly used preservatives are not required, making it a great alternative for those who are particularly sensitive to conventional preservatives.
Doublebase Once Gel is suitable for all age groups and can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor, nurse or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin.
Directions
This product is only for application to the skin.
For maximum benefit you should:
- Gently smooth Doublebase Once over and around all dry skin areas once daily or as often as needed.
- 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.
- When used as a soap substitute for washing, in order to prevent further drying of the skin, use as you would use your normal soap.
- If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Doublebase Once, 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.
Ingredients
Isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin, glycerol, steareth-21, macrogol stearyl ether (a soap substitute), ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, povidone, trolamine, carbomer and purified water.
Cautions
- Do not use Doublebase Once if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin or any of the other ingredients.
- 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.
- This product can be used during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The ingredients have been in widespread use in similar preparations for many years, without reports of problems. However, safety trials have not been conducted.
