Dermol 500 Ingredients

Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride are antimicrobials.

These help to:

• combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema worse
• prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin

Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients which help to:

• soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin
• 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 skin cleansing products

This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.
