Doublebase Gel
Doublebase Gel is an emollient treatment designed to relieve and manage dry skin conditions by helping to restore and maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. It is suitable for use on dry, rough, flaky and irritated skin and is commonly recommended for individuals suffering from eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and other dry skin disorders.
Dry skin conditions can occur when the skin loses its ability to retain moisture effectively. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, tightness, scaling, redness and discomfort. Doublebase Gel works by providing a protective layer on the skin's surface, helping to lock in moisture and reduce water loss.
Its lightweight gel formulation is easy to apply and absorbs readily into the skin, making it suitable for everyday use on both small and large areas of the body.
Doublebase Gel is used to help relieve the symptoms of dry skin conditions, including:
Eczema
Dermatitis
Psoriasis
Ichthyosis
Age-related dry skin
Dry, rough or flaky skin
Itching associated with dry skin
The gel helps soften, moisturise and protect the skin whilst reducing discomfort caused by dryness and irritation.
Regular application can help improve skin hydration and support the skin's natural protective barrier.
Doublebase Gel contains two emollient ingredients:
Isopropyl Myristate 15% w/w
Liquid Paraffin 15% w/w
These ingredients work by forming a protective barrier over the skin. This barrier helps prevent moisture from escaping, allowing the skin to retain hydration for longer periods.
By reducing water loss from the skin's surface, Doublebase Gel helps keep the skin moisturised, supple and protected from further drying. Regular use can help reduce scaling, cracking and irritation associated with chronic dry skin conditions.
Unlike steroid creams, Doublebase Gel does not contain corticosteroids and does not treat inflammation directly. Instead, it works by restoring moisture and supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
Doublebase Gel is suitable for:
Adults
Elderly people
Children
Babies and infants
It can be used by people with long-term skin conditions requiring regular moisturisation, as well as those experiencing temporary dryness caused by environmental factors, frequent washing or exposure to irritants.
The gel is suitable for frequent and long-term use and can be incorporated into a daily skincare routine.
