Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Very dry skin occurs when the skin barrier is unable to retain sufficient moisture. Emollients such as Ovelle Paraffin Gel help by forming a protective layer over the skin, reducing water loss and improving hydration. Regular application is often more effective than occasional heavy application, particularly after washing, bathing or exposure to cold weather.

For particularly dry hands or feet, apply generously before bed and consider wearing cotton gloves or socks overnight to enhance moisturising. If dry skin becomes cracked, painful, weeping or shows signs of infection, seek advice from your pharmacist or GP as further treatment may be required.

Important: Like all paraffin-containing emollients, this product presents a fire risk because paraffin can soak into clothing, bedding and dressings.
