Doublebase Flare Relief Emollient 500g

The clinically effective formulation has been specially designed to lock in moisture and help repair the skin’s protective barrier. It also contains nicotinamide, a vitamin B derivative with proven anti-inflammatory properties, to help reduce redness and inflammation in skin conditions – such as mild to moderate eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis – without the need for steroids.

The combination of a highly moisturising emollient action and mild steroid-free anti-inflammatory action in a single product that can be applied anywhere and for as long as necessary, means Flare Relief is a unique and convenient treatment to help manage and prevent dry skin that is prone to flare ups, which can be used daily for as long as required. The anti-inflammatory agent, nicotinamide, is NOT a corticosteroid.

Some dry skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis, go through periods of extra redness and inflammation – commonly called ‘flares’. These flares result in aggravated, sensitive and sore skin and, in such cases, a plain emollient may not be enough.

This is where Flare Relief from Doublebase can help. By adding an anti-inflammatory ingredient to a highly effective, long-lasting emollient, it delivers additional relief to dry skin and can help prevent flares.

It can be used either during the period of flare itself or as an ongoing, highly effective emollient.

Flare Relief is suitable for all age groups including children and infants over 1 year old.

Directions

Apply three times daily or as often as needed.

Gently smooth Diomed Flare Relief Emollient over and around all dry and/or inflamed skin areas. For best results, use a few gentle strokes to smooth the gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth (like stroking a cat or dog). If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.

If you are using other medicines applied to the skin, any instructions supplied with the other product should be followed to allow adequate time for absorption before applying Diomed Flare Relief Emollient. The time allowed should normally be around 30 minutes for topical corticosteriods that have been prescribed by your doctor and up to 2 hours for certain calcineurin inhibitors that have been prescribed by your doctor. This is to avoid diluting the other product and spreading it to areas that do not need it.

Carry on using Diomed Flare Relief Emollient for as long as necessary - whether that may be only occasionally, e.g. during flares, or continuously if the added anti-inflammatory action is benefical. If there is no improvement within 2 to 4 weeks, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
