Aproderm Ointment AproDerm Ointment is an intensely hydrating moisturiser, that is suitable for the symptomatic relief of moderate to very dry skin conditions including Eczema and Psoriasis. It can also be used before or after bathing and is suitable for adults and children from birth. SLS, parabens, halogens, cetostearyl alcohol, fragrances and colours are irritants and sensitisers that are found in many skincare, emollient and cosmetic products and can irritate your skin, which is why AproDerm Ointment is completely free from all sensitisers, irritants and preservatives. For more information, please visit Irritants and Sensitisers. Features: - Completely free from sensitisers and irritants - Suitable for the entire family, from birth - Provides long lasting hydration and protection for those with moderate to very dry eczema, psoriasis and other very dry skin conditions - Preservative free so suitable for people with an allergy to preservatives - Dermatologically tested - Suitable for Vegans - NOT tested on animals How to Apply: Wash your hands before applying. Break the tamper evident seal on the pump and turn it in a clockwise direction. Press the nozzle down to pump the cream onto your hand. The first time that you use AproDerm you may need to press the nozzle up to ten times before the cream comes out - this is normal. Before using AproDerm for the first time you should test an area of skin with a small amount and leave for 48 hours - if there is no reaction or irritation then apply all over the affected area of skin. Apply AproDerm regularly, liberally and frequently to the affected area using gentle, downward strokes and following the direction of hair growth - making sure that you do not rub as this can irritate the skin. Leave a thin layer of cream on the skin to soak in (the skin should glisten) - this can take about 10 minutes. AproDerm should be applied at least three times a day or as directed by your G.P. You should apply AproDerm after bathing to skin that is almost dry as this will help trap in moisture and hydrate the skin further. Continue applying AproDerm after your skin has improved to prevent the risk of flare-ups.
