A fast-absorbing lotion with the comfort of a balm for very dry skin
Dexeryl Essential Nourishing Lotion is a moisturising lotion for dry to very dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin, including skin prone to atopic dermatitis, suitable from birth. It hydrates and nourishes for up to 24 hours, helping the skin hold on to water and rebuild its lipids, which keeps the barrier healthy. Glycyrrhetinic acid calms the skin and soothes itchiness from the first application, while glycerin and a paraffin-based nourishing complex limit water loss. It combines the fluid feel of a lotion with the comfort of a balm, and suits the body, face and hands.
The texture
A fluid, balm-like lotion that spreads quickly over large areas and absorbs without a greasy finish.
Who it suits
- Dry to very dry skin
- Atopic-prone and itchy skin
- Babies, children and adults
- Daily use or seasonal dryness
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains paraffin-based emollients. For very rough, cracked patches, a richer cream such as Dexeryl Cream may suit better.
How long a bottle lasts
Used once a day on the body of an adult, the 200ml bottle lasts about three to four weeks; on a small child, about two months.
