Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Regular use of emollients is one of the most important steps in caring for dry and eczema-prone skin. Traditional soaps and shower gels can strip away the skin's natural protective oils, increasing dryness and irritation. Using an emollient soap substitute such as Ovelle Silcocks Base helps cleanse the skin gently while preserving its moisture barrier.

Apply the cream frequently throughout the day, especially after bathing and hand washing, when moisture is most easily lost. When using as a cleanser, apply to wet skin, massage gently and rinse away with warm water. Avoid very hot baths and showers, as these may worsen dryness. If eczema becomes infected, begins weeping, develops crusting or fails to improve despite regular moisturising, seek advice from your pharmacist or GP. Continue using prescribed eczema treatments alongside your emollient as directed by your healthcare professional.
