What to know before buying
- Use gently in the direction of hair growth and apply as often as required, according to the product directions. Avoid use if sensitive to any ingredient. For use on skin only.
- Repeated use can leave residue on clothing, bedding or dressings that may burn more easily. Keep away from smoking and naked flames, and keep out of the sight and reach of children.
- If the condition worsens or side effects occur, stop use and consider seeking advice from a healthcare professional. Read the packaging and accompanying leaflet.
Listing details to confirm
Listing information differs in packaging quantity and naming: the title says 250g, while details list 250 Millilitres, and the detailed model name calls it a body cream while the item form is listed as gel. Treat these as unconfirmed listing inconsistencies and check the selected pack label if the distinction matters.
Who is it for?

- Adults seeking a fragrance-free emollient gel for dry skin or skin prone to eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis.
- Buyers who prefer a pump-pack product for regular application over affected body areas.
Less suited to

Customer feedback highlights moisturising and soothing experiences, including for itchy or flaky skin, and reports that the gel absorbs quickly. Some customers also describe a non-greasy finish, but feedback on that feel is mixed. These reported impressions are relevant if you want a frequently applied emollient, though the product's claimed absorption and barrier performance remain manufacturer claims rather than customer evidence of a guaranteed result.
Positive themes
- Customers report that it moisturises and softens dry, flaky skin.
- Feedback describes soothing effects for itchy skin, including eczema-prone skin.
- Customers report quick absorption and say the pack lasts a long time.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback on whether the finish feels non-greasy is mixed.
Frequently asked questions
What skin concerns is Doublebase Dry Skin Emollient listed for?
The listing describes it for dryness and skin affected by eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. These are product claims, not a substitute for individual medical advice.
How is the emollient meant to be applied?
The directions say to smooth it gently over affected areas, in the direction of hair growth, in the morning and at night or as often as required. Follow the package leaflet.
Is this a cream or a gel, and how much is in the pack?
The listed item form is gel, but the model name also calls it a body cream. The title gives 250g while another detail lists 250 Millilitres, so confirm the selected pack's label.
Are there any important safety precautions?
Do not use if sensitive to an ingredient. Repeated application can leave flammable residue on fabrics, so keep treated fabrics away from smoking and naked flames. Read the leaflet for full safety information.
