Trust & Pharmacist Advice

For people with very dry or eczema-prone skin, regular emollient therapy is one of the most important parts of long-term skin care. Applying an emollient several times each day helps restore the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss. Replacing ordinary soaps with an emollient cleanser may also help minimise irritation and prevent further drying.

When using Ovelle Emulsifying Ointment as a moisturiser, apply generously in the direction of hair growth rather than rubbing vigorously. As a soap substitute, apply to wet skin, gently cleanse and rinse away if desired. Continue using prescribed eczema treatments separately, allowing sufficient time between applications. If the skin becomes infected, very painful or fails to improve, seek advice from your pharmacist or GP.

Because this product contains paraffin, clothing, bedding and dressings that come into contact with it can become more flammable. Appropriate fire safety precautions should always be followed.
