Doublebase Gel - Preservative-Free Emollient Treatment

You can rely on Doublebase gel to provide effective moisturising care for dry, irritated skin conditions. This preservative-free emollient contains isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, which work together to restore your skin's natural moisture barrier and reduce water loss.

The 500g pump dispenser format makes daily application convenient whilst maintaining product hygiene. You'll find this formulation particularly suitable if you have sensitive skin that reacts to preservatives commonly found in other moisturisers.

How Doublebase Gel Works on Your Skin

The gel creates a protective film on your skin surface that prevents moisture loss whilst allowing your skin to breathe naturally. Isopropyl myristate acts as an emollient that softens and smooths rough, dry areas, whilst liquid paraffin provides long-lasting hydration.

Unlike heavier ointments, this gel formulation absorbs readily into your skin without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it suitable for use on larger body areas and under clothing during daily activities.

Who Should Use This Emollient Treatment

You may benefit from Doublebase gel if you experience dry skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, or general skin dryness. The preservative-free formulation makes it particularly appropriate if you have sensitive skin or known preservative allergies.

This treatment is suitable for:

Adults and children with dry skin conditions
People with eczema requiring regular emollient therapy
Those with sensitive skin who react to preservatives
Individuals needing a non-greasy moisturising gel

Healthcare professionals often recommend emollient therapy as part of comprehensive skin care management for chronic dry skin conditions.

Why Choose Preservative-Free Formulation

Preservatives in skincare products can sometimes cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions, particularly in people with compromised skin barriers. By choosing a preservative-free option, you reduce the risk of additional skin irritation whilst still receiving effective moisturising benefits.

The pump dispenser design helps maintain product integrity without requiring preservatives, as it minimises contamination risk during use. This makes the gel suitable for long-term daily use without concerns about preservative sensitivity.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

You should store Doublebase gel at room temperature and use it within the timeframe indicated on the packaging once opened. The pump mechanism should be kept clean to maintain the preservative-free integrity of the product.

This emollient is suitable for use alongside other prescribed treatments for skin conditions. However, you should apply it at different times to topical medications unless specifically advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Apply Doublebase Gel Correctly

You should apply the gel to clean, dry skin using gentle downward strokes in the direction of hair growth. Use enough product to cover the affected areas without rubbing vigorously, as this can irritate sensitive skin. The gel will absorb naturally within a few minutes of application.

For best results, you should apply the emollient regularly throughout the day, particularly after washing or bathing when your skin may be more prone to dryness. Many people find applying the gel twice daily provides adequate moisture maintenance.

When to Use Your Emollient Treatment

You can use Doublebase gel as often as needed to maintain skin comfort and hydration. Apply it immediately after bathing whilst your skin is still slightly damp to help lock in moisture. You may also apply it before bedtime to provide overnight skin conditioning.

If you're using other topical treatments, apply the emollient at least 30 minutes before or after other medications unless your healthcare provider advises differently. This prevents dilution of active treatments and ensures optimal absorption of both products.

Possible Side Effects of Emollient Treatment

Like all medicines, Doublebase gel can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most people using creams and ointments for dry skin conditions tolerate emollient treatments well with minimal adverse reactions.

The most commonly reported side effects involve local skin reactions at the application site. These typically occur when you first start using the product and often resolve as your skin adjusts to the treatment.

Known side effects may include:

Skin irritation or redness at application site
Temporary stinging or burning sensation
Contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals
Folliculitis from blocked hair follicles
Allergic reactions to ingredients
Skin rash or itching
Acne-like breakouts on facial application
Temporary skin discolouration

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
