What Doublebase Once Emollient Gel is and What it is used for?

  • Doublebase Once is an advanced, highly moisturising and protective emollient, presented in a cosmetically acceptable gel for application to your skin. It can moisturise dry skin for 24 hours after one application. It is for the management of dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.
  • All age groups can use Doublebase Once.
  • The therapeutic ingredients in this product include emollient oils and humectants. The product helps to:
    • soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin;
    • prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary cleansing products.
  • The product’s long-lasting action reduces the need for frequent re-application throughout the day.
  • Doublebase Once can also be used as a soap substitute for washing, in order to prevent further drying of the skin.
  • The humectants in Doublebase Once help to hold water in the skin. They also form the Triple Action Protective System (T.A.P.S.) so that more commonly used preservatives are not required. This may be preferable for those who are particularly sensitive to conventional preservatives.
  • This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor, nurse or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin.

How To use Doublebase Once

This product is only for application to the skin.

  • Before using the 100 g pack, turn the top of the dispenser tube in the direction of the open arrow to unlock it.
  • After unlocking, you will need to press the bottom of the tube before any gel is dispensed.

For maximum benefit you should:

  • Gently smooth Doublebase Once over and around all dry skin areas once daily or as often as needed.
  • Use a few gentle strokes to smooth the gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth (like stroking a cat or dog). If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
  • When used as a soap substitute for washing, in order to prevent further drying of the skin, use as you would use your normal soap.
  • If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Doublebase Once, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.

What Doublebase Once contains:

Isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin, glycerol, steareth-21, macrogol stearyl ether (a soap substitute), ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, povidone, trolamine, carbomer and purified water.

What Doublebase Once looks like and contents of the pack

  • The product has the appearance of a white gel. It contains no dye or fragrance.
  • The gel is available in a plastic tube containing 100 g or a plastic pump bottle containing 500 g (100 g packs are also available to the medical and allied professions).

Doublebase Once has been specially designed for use on dry or problem skin. However, in rare cases it can cause skin irritation (mild rashes) or allergic skin reactions on extremely sensitive skin. These rare effects tend to occur during or soon after the first few uses.

Stop using this gel and tell your doctor, nurse or pharmacist:

  • If your skin condition seems to look or feel worse;
  • If any of the side effects get serious, or you notice any other side effects not mentioned .
  • If this product is accidentally swallowed, its oily ingredients may cause diarrhoea.
    If this happens:

    • treat the symptoms as you would deal with any case of diarrhoea;
    • drink plenty of water;
    • do not attempt to cause vomiting.
