Most Doublebase products work as emollients, which means that they build up a protective layer over your skin.

This layer helps to keep irritants from getting to your sensitive skin and causing flare ups or drying your skin out.

It also helps to keep moisture locked into your skin, keeping it hydrated from the inside out so it will feel soft and smooth.

Many people with dry skin conditions use emollients either on their own, or in combination with other treatments to keep their skin from drying out and becoming irritated.

Doublebase products can help lots of people who suffer with dry skin or dry skin conditions. Doublebase can help to soothe conditions such as:

• Eczema – Eczema is a common dry skin condition that affects people of all ages. One of the most common kinds of eczema is also known as contact dermatitis, which causes a flare up of dry skin when your skin becomes irritated. Doublebase can help to soothe eczema flare ups by helping to keep your skin hydrated while protecting it from irritants.
• Psoriasis – Psoriasis causes a build up of cells, causing scaly, dry areas of skin that can look red or silvery. Emollients such as Doublebase are often used at the same time as other treatments which help to keep psoriasis under control.
• Ichthyosis – A hereditary condition where the skin all over your body becomes dry and scaly. Doublebase can’t cure Ichthyosis, but emollients can help to make your skin feel softer and more hydrated.
• Elderly skin – As we grow older, dry skin conditions like eczema can become more common and your skin can lose moisture more easily as it grows more fragile. Doublebase can help to keep moisture locked into the skin, helping to keep it hydrated.
