Key active properties and active ingredients:

• Light liquid paraffin helps replace lost skin oils.

Directions for use

For external use only.

For use as a daily moisturiser:

• Adults, the elderly, and children: Apply to dry skin areas as often as required, ensuring that the area is well covered, and rub in gently.
• To ensure continued hydration throughout the day, it is recommended you apply at least twice a day as a minimum, or as otherwise directed by your pharmacist or doctor.
• Apply gently in the direction of hair growth until absorbed.
• Avoid rubbing the cream vigorously as this could trigger itching, creating more heat in the skin.
• Apply your emollient before and after you bathe to protect your skin from dryness.
• In addition, you can use the ointment as a soap substitute as it will be kinder to the skin but just as effective at cleaning it.

For use as a daily cleanser:

• Gently massage Cetraben cream into wet skin and rinse off under warm running water. Pat skin dry with a soft towel.
• For best results re-apply Cetraben cream as a daily moisturiser.

If you accidentally swallow this product, go to your nearest accident and emergency department.
