Dosage & directions
How much to use
- Adults & children: Apply a generous layer once daily, or more often if required to keep skin moisturised.
- Typical quantity: Use enough gel to leave a thin, visible sheen before it absorbs. Larger areas (e.g., limbs) may need several pumps.
How to apply
- Apply to clean, dry skin. Smooth in the direction of hair growth; do not rub vigorously.
- Allow to absorb before dressing. Re-apply after washing, bathing, or if skin feels dry.
- For hands, re-apply after each hand-wash.
Can be used with other topical treatments. If using with corticosteroid or other medicated creams, apply the medicated product first, allow it to absorb, then apply the emollient after a few minutes unless your clinician advises otherwise.
Pro tips for best results
- Apply within 3 minutes of bathing or showering to “lock in” moisture.
- Use liberally and regularly—emollients work best when used as often as needed.
- Carry a smaller emollient for top-ups when away from home.
Key ingredients
