Adex Gel
What is Adex Gel?
Adex Gel is a leave-on emollient used to treat dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Unlike standard emollients, it also contains an anti-inflammatory to help manage redness and itching. Adex Gel is steroid-free, fragrance-free, and suitable for adults, children, and babies over 1 month old. It can be used as often as needed and is safe for long-term daily use.
How does it work?
Adex Gel contains an emollient base of liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which soften and hydrate the skin. It also includes nicotinamide (vitamin B3), a mild anti-inflammatory that helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with flare-ups. This dual-action approach soothes the skin while protecting the barrier, making it ideal for dry, inflamed conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
How to use Adex Gel
- Apply to affected areas 2-4 times daily, or as needed
- Use after bathing, and reapply whenever skin feels dry or itchy
- Smooth a thin layer gently over the skin, do not rub vigorously
- For best results, use regularly, even when skin appears clear
Who can use Adex Gel?
Adex Gel is suitable for adults, children, and babies over 1 month old. It is ideal for people with eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, or other dry, itchy skin conditions. It may also help those prone to flare-ups who need an emollient with added anti-inflammatory support.
