Doublebase Gel

Doublebase Gel directions

Doublebase Gel should be applied to external skin only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nostrils, and mouth.

Doublebase Gel is suitable for use by adults, the elderly, infants and children. It is suitable for use in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Apply Doublebase to the affected areas as often as necessary, normally up to four times daily.
• For best results use a few gentle strokes to smooth Doublebase across the skin in the same direction as hair growth. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub vigorously.
• Doublebase may also be applied before washing, showering or having a bath to prevent further drying of the skin.
• If additional topical treatments are being used on the same skin areas, Doublebase should be applied between these applications.

If you struggle to apply Doublebase Gel up to four times daily, Doublebase Dayleve Gel may be a more appropriate option for you; it retains the same moisturising properties of Doublebase Gel but its long-lasting formula only requires twice daily application.
