Description

Adex Gel Moisturising Emollient For Dry Skin – 500g

Adex Gel is a moisturising emollient designed to soothe, hydrate and protect dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It contains liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin which form a protective layer over the skin, helping to lock in moisture and prevent further drying. Suitable for use on the face and body.

How It Works

Adex Gel works by creating a barrier on the surface of the skin that reduces water loss. The liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin in the gel soften and smooth the skin while helping to restore its natural moisture balance. Regular use helps to relieve the dryness, itching and flaking associated with eczema, dermatitis and other dry skin conditions.

Directions for Use

Apply Adex Gel liberally to the affected areas of skin as often as needed. Smooth it gently into the skin in the direction of hair growth. It can be used as a soap substitute during washing — apply to wet skin, rinse off and pat dry. For best results, use regularly throughout the day and after bathing. If you are unsure how to use this product, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
