Epimax Isomol Gel

What is Epimax Isomol Gel?

Epimax Isomol Gel is a multi-purpose emollient and soap substitute designed to treat dry, itchy, or inflamed skin. It combines three active moisturisers to hydrate, protect, and restore the skin's natural barrier. It can be used in place of soap or shower gel and is especially useful for those with eczema, psoriasis, or sensitive skin. It's suitable for babies, children, and adults.

How does it work?

Epimax Isomol Gel contains isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin, and isopropyl palmitate. These emollients work together to:

• Hydrate and soften dry skin
• Form a protective barrier to reduce water loss
• Help relieve itching and discomfort

Its non-foaming formula is ideal for use during bathing or washing to cleanse the skin gently without stripping away moisture.

How to use Epimax Isomol Gel

• As a moisturiser: apply directly to dry skin as often as needed.
• As a soap substitute: apply to wet skin in place of soap, then rinse and pat dry.
• Use after bathing to lock in moisture and calm irritated skin.

Who can use it?

Epimax Isomol Gel is suitable for adults, children, and babies. It is ideal for people who:

• Have eczema, psoriasis, or chronic dry skin
• Need a gentle soap-free cleanser
• Are prone to skin irritation from fragranced or foaming washes

Side effects

Epimax Isomol Gel is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects may include:

• Mild stinging or irritation
• Redness or rash

Stop using the product and consult your doctor if irritation persists or worsens.

Epimax Cream vs Epimax Isomol Gel: What's the difference?

Both Epimax Cream and Epimax Isomol Gel are fragrance-free emollients designed to relieve dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. However, they differ slightly in how they are used and how long they last on the skin.

• Epimax Cream is a light, non-greasy moisturising cream that absorbs quickly. Ideal for use during the day, especially on the hands and face. Best for regular moisturising and layering with other treatments like steroid creams.
• Epimax Isomol Gel is a longer-lasting gel with a richer texture that forms a protective barrier. It can be used both as a moisturiser and as a soap substitute, making it more versatile for people who need to avoid drying cleansers.

Which one should I choose? It depends on your needs:

• Choose Epimax Cream if you want a fast-absorbing, daytime moisturiser that's easy to reapply.
• Choose Epimax Isomol Gel if you're looking for an all-in-one moisturiser and cleanser that offers longer-lasting hydration.

Both can be used together — for example, use Isomol Gel as a soap substitute and Epimax Cream afterwards to lock in moisture.
