Description
Dermol Cream 500g is an antimicrobial emollient cream for the treatment and prevention of dry, itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, particularly eczema and dermatitis. It contains two antiseptics, benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, which help combat skin bacteria (including Staphylococcus aureus that often worsens eczema) and prevent infection caused by scratching. It also contains two emollient oils, liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which soften, moisturise and protect the skin by trapping moisture and restoring the normal barrier function. Dermol Cream can be used as a leave-on emollient on dry or problem skin and as a soap substitute in place of ordinary soaps or shower gels to avoid further drying or irritation. It is fragrance-free, dye-free, suitable for all age groups including babies, and is available in a 500 g pump dispenser bottle.
