Adex Gel- 500g (EXPIRY 12/2023)
Adex Gel is a specially formulated emollient with an added ancillary anti-inflammatory action. It is developed for dry skin conditions prone to inflammation, such as mild to moderate eczema and psoriasis. This easily absorbed, highly moisturising gel is recommended for use as long as necessary – either occasionally, such as during flares, or continuously. It does not contain topical corticosteroids and can be used all over the body including on the face and on creases of the skin.
What is Adex Gel?
Adex Gel offers an effective, simple and different approach to the treatment and management of dry skin conditions prone to inflammation. Its primary emollient action is supplemented with an ancillary anti-inflammatory action to reduce inflammation and redness. The gel contains a high level of oils (30%) and the humectant glycerol. Its ancillary anti-inflammatory action is provided by nicotinamide (4%), a medicinal substance which is a form of vitamin B3.
How to Use Adex Gel
Adex Gel is for generalised all-over application to the skin. Apply it three times daily or as often as needed. Gently smooth Adex Gel over and around all dry and inflamed skin areas. For best results, use a few gentle strokes to smooth the gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
Adex Gel Ingredients
The gel contains carbomer, glycerol, isopropyl myristate 15%, liquid paraffin 15%, nicotinamide 4%, phenoxyethanol, sorbitan laurate, trolamine and purified water.
Adex Gel Side Effects
Although emollients are generally very helpful in treating dry skin conditions, they can sometimes be associated with temporary tingling, itching or stinging, especially where the skin is broken or scratched. Regular use of emollients can help to restore damaged skin, so occurrence of such symptoms may subside after a few days of emollient treatment. However, if such symptoms occur and are troublesome or persist for more than a few minutes, after application of Adex Gel, stop using the gel and consult your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice.
Storage
After using the 500 g bottle, it is advisable to turn the top of the pump clockwise to lock it. In the case of the tube, replace the cap after use. Do not store above 25°C. Do not freeze the product.
General Advice on Using Emollients
Emollients help soften, moisturise and protect the skin. They play a central role in the treatment and management of dry skin conditions. For maximum effect, they should be applied regularly, as often as needed and even when the skin appears normal.
