Doublebase Dayleve Gel

Dermal Laboratories

Description

Doublebase Dayleve Gel is a long-lasting highly emollient and protective hydrating base. It may also be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments. The oily ingredients, isopropl myristate and liquid paraffin, encourage rehydration and softening of dry skin by forming an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, thus reducing drying as a result of the evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers. Can be used as little as twice a day, morning and night

Indications

For regular first-line treatment and prophylaxis of dry or chapped skin conditions that may also be pruritic (itchy) or inflamed

Price

100g tube, £2.65; 500g pump dispenser, £6.29
