How to use
- Apply liberally to dry or affected areas as often as required.
- Smooth gently in the direction of hair growth rather than rubbing in hard.
- Reapply after washing or bathing while the skin is still slightly damp to help retain moisture.
- If you also use a prescribed steroid cream, allow time between applications as advised by your pharmacist.
- For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Diprobase Eczema Cream a steroid?
No. Diprobase Eczema Cream is a steroid-free emollient. It moisturises and soothes dry, eczema-prone skin and can be used as often as needed.
How often can I use Diprobase?
Because it is an emollient, you can apply it liberally and as often as required. Regular use throughout the day helps keep the skin moisturised and comfortable.
Does Diprobase cure eczema?
No. An emollient does not cure eczema; it moisturises the skin, soothes irritation and supports the skin barrier. If your eczema is flaring or not controlled, speak to your pharmacist or GP about additional treatment.
Can I use it with a steroid cream?
Yes. Emollients are often used alongside prescribed steroid creams. Leave some time between applying the two so each can absorb; your pharmacist can advise on the order and timing.
Can children use Diprobase Eczema Cream?
It can be used on dry, eczema-prone skin in children. Apply a thin layer to affected areas and avoid the eyes. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure about using it on a young child.
Safety and storage
- For external use only. Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient on the label.
- Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
- Paraffin-based emollients can make clothing, bedding and dressings more easily flammable — keep away from naked flames and do not smoke nearby.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
- Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of the sight and reach of children.
