Dermol 500 acts as both a moisturiser and an antimicrobial agent. It contains:
- Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate – These ingredients form a barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss.
- Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride – These help reduce bacterial growth, making Dermol 500 particularly useful for infection-prone skin conditions.
Dermol 500 can be applied in various ways to suit different skincare routines:
As a Moisturiser
- Apply directly to dry skin as often as needed.
- Gently rub in until absorbed.
- Avoid vigorous rubbing to prevent irritation.
As a Soap Substitute
- Use Dermol 500 in place of regular soap to cleanse the skin.
- Apply to wet skin, massage gently, and rinse off with water.
As a Bath or Shower Emollient
- While showering, apply directly to the skin and rinse.
- Dermol 600 is another variant specifically designed for bath use, providing similar benefits.

The itch-scratch cycle is a self-perpetuating cycle where itching leads to scratching, which in turn causes more itching. Scratching damages the skin barrier, leading to inflammation and further irritation, which triggers more itching. This cycle is common in conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and dry skin.
Using Dermol Cream can help break this cycle. It is an antimicrobial and emollient cream that moisturizes the skin, reduces dryness, and helps prevent infection. By keeping the skin hydrated and soothing irritation, Dermol Cream can reduce the urge to scratch, helping to manage symptoms and promote healing.
