Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel 50ml
Specialist oil-based gel to moisturise and soften dry skin
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel 50ml is a specialist cosmetic moisturiser developed specifically for dry skin. Unlike conventional water-rich lotions, its formulation contains only around 3% water and combines oils, emollients, humectants, vitamins and botanical oils to help the skin retain moisture and leave dry skin feeling softer and smoother.
Overview
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel provides intensive moisturisation in a concentrated gel-to-oil formulation.
The formula combines emollient ingredients with moisturising components including glycerin, urea, sodium lactate, Sodium PCA and sodium hyaluronate. It also contains shea butter, vitamin E, vitamin A derivative retinyl palmitate and selected botanical oils.
Because the formulation contains only around 3% water, a small amount is required compared with a conventional cream or lotion. It can be used on the body and face and is suitable for sensitive skin.

Helpful Product Information
Quick Answer
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is an oil-based moisturising gel designed specifically for dry skin. Apply a small amount to dry skin as required and gently massage it in until absorbed. Because the formula is concentrated, use less than you would normally use with a cream.
How Is It Different From Bio-Oil Skincare Oil?
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is specifically formulated as a gel moisturiser for dry skin. It has a different formulation and texture from the original Bio-Oil Skincare Oil.
Can It Be Used on the Face?
Yes. Although particularly useful as a body moisturiser, Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel can also be used on the face. Its formulation is described as non-comedogenic.
Does It Contain Hyaluronic Acid?
The ingredient list contains sodium hyaluronate, which is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It is included alongside several other moisturising ingredients such as glycerin, urea, Sodium PCA and sodium lactate.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is a cosmetic moisturising product rather than a medicine. Its role is to moisturise dry skin and help improve the signs and appearance of dryness.
Apply a small amount rather than covering the skin with a thick layer. More product is not necessarily better because the formulation is considerably more concentrated than many traditional creams and lotions.
Do not apply to broken skin. If irritation occurs, stop using the product.
Persistent dryness, significant itching, inflammation, cracking, bleeding or signs of infection may indicate a skin condition that requires additional treatment. Speak to your pharmacist or doctor if symptoms are persistent or worsening.
Not Suitable For
Do not use:
- On broken skin
- If you are sensitive or allergic to any ingredient
- In children under 3 years
Take particular care if you are sensitive to fragrance, lanolin or essential oils because these are present in the formulation.
How to Use
Apply a small amount of Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel to dry skin as required.
Massage gently into the skin in circular movements until absorbed.
Use less than you would when applying a conventional moisturising cream because the formulation is highly concentrated.
It can be used on dry areas of the body and face.
For external use only.

FAQs
What is Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel used for?
Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is a cosmetic moisturiser specifically formulated for dry skin. It helps moisturise and soften dry skin while helping the skin retain moisture. Unlike many conventional creams and lotions, the formulation contains only around 3% water and is predominantly made up of oils and other moisturising ingredients. A small amount can be applied wherever the skin feels dry.
Is Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel the same as regular Bio-Oil?
No. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel and Bio-Oil Skincare Oil are different products. Dry Skin Gel has a distinctive gel-to-oil texture and has been formulated specifically as a moisturiser for dry skin. If your main concern is everyday skin dryness and maintaining moisture, Dry Skin Gel is the product specifically designed for this purpose.
How do I use Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel?
Apply a small amount to dry skin and gently massage it in using circular movements until absorbed. You generally need less than you would use with a conventional cream because Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel has a concentrated formulation. It can be reapplied according to your skin's needs. Do not apply it to broken skin.
Can I use Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel every day?
Yes. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel can be incorporated into a regular daily moisturising routine. Apply a small amount to areas of dry skin as required. For persistent dryness, regular application can help maintain skin moisturisation. If your skin remains very dry, becomes inflamed or cracked, or develops significant itching despite regular moisturising, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.
Can Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel be used on the face?
Yes. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel can be used on the face as well as the body. Only a small amount is required because the formulation is concentrated. The product is also described as non-comedogenic. Avoid the eye area and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If you have particularly sensitive facial skin, introducing a small amount initially may be appropriate.
Is Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is described as suitable for sensitive skin. However, it contains fragrance, lanolin and botanical/essential oils, so individual reactions remain possible. If you have very reactive skin or a known allergy to any ingredient, check the full ingredient list before use. Stop using the product if irritation develops.
Is Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel non-comedogenic?
Yes. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is described as non-comedogenic. This means the formulation has been designed not to block pores. Individual skin responses can vary, particularly on the face, so discontinue use if the product does not suit your skin.
Does Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel contain hyaluronic acid?
The formulation contains sodium hyaluronate, the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It is one of several moisturising ingredients in the formula, alongside glycerin, urea, Sodium PCA and sodium lactate. These ingredients form part of the product's specialist formulation for dry skin.
Does Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel contain vitamins?
Yes. The ingredient list includes retinyl palmitate, a vitamin A derivative, tocopheryl acetate and tocopherol, forms of vitamin E, and niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3. The formulation also contains botanical oils and extracts, including sunflower, chamomile, calendula, rosemary and lavender-derived ingredients.
Can I use Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel on very dry legs, hands or elbows?
Yes. Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel can be used on dry areas throughout the body, making it suitable for areas such as the legs, arms, hands, elbows and knees. Apply a small amount and massage gently until absorbed. Do not apply to broken skin. If dryness progresses to significant cracking, bleeding, inflammation or infection, seek advice from your pharmacist or doctor.
How much Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel should I apply?
Start with a small amount. Bio-Oil advises using less Dry Skin Gel than you would use when applying a conventional cream. Massage it into the dry area until absorbed and add more only if necessary. This approach is particularly useful because the gel has a concentrated, oil-rich formulation containing only a small proportion of water.
Can Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel be used on broken or cracked skin?
It should not be applied to broken skin. Dry skin can sometimes progress to cracking, inflammation or bleeding, and these situations may need different care. If your skin is significantly cracked, painful, bleeding, weeping or appears infected, speak to your pharmacist or doctor rather than applying the product directly to the affected broken areas.
