Yes, Dermol 200 Shower Emollient can be used on babies, children and adults, unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise. Always use with care on very young or delicate skin and follow medical advice if your child has a diagnosed skin condition.
For very dry or eczema-prone skin, it is usually best to use Dermol 200 instead of normal soap or shower gel, as standard products can dry and irritate the skin. If in doubt, ask your pharmacist or GP.
As an emollient, Dermol 200 can leave a slight moisturising film on the skin. This helps lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier. Any excess can be gently patted off with a towel.
Most people use Dermol 200 without problems. However, some may experience mild irritation, stinging, burning, dryness or redness at the application site. Very rarely, more serious allergic reactions can occur (for example, swelling, difficulty breathing or widespread rash). If this happens, stop using the product and seek urgent medical help.
It may be used on the face if recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. Take care to avoid contact with the eyes and mouth, and rinse well if contact occurs.
You can use Dermol 200 every day in the shower or bath, and reapply as a leave-on emollient as often as needed to keep the skin comfortable and moisturised.
