When should Dermol 500 lotion not be used?

For external use only, avoid contact with eyes, especially if you use this product on the face. If you use this product as a soap substitute it can make your bath or shower very slippery, so be sure to take care to avoid slipping. This product contains paraffin, which can increase the flammability of any cloth or fabric it comes into contact with, including dressings or clothing. Take care to avoid fire or naked flames while using this product and change dressings or clothing frequently.

How to use:

Before using the 500 ml bottle, turn the top of the pump dispenser anti-clockwise to unlock it. After unlocking, you will need to press down the pump dispenser several times to prime the pump before any product is dispensed. The same instructions apply for all age groups:-

For use as a leave-on application • Apply Dermol 500 Lotion to the affected areas. • Gently smooth into the skin. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously. • Reapply as often as required. • If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Dermol 500 Lotion, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.

For use as a soap substitute • Use Dermol 500 Lotion to wash with instead of your ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products. • After washing, bathing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).
