Doublebase Dayleve Gel
What is Doublebase Dayleve Gel?
Doublebase Dayleve Gel is a long-lasting emollient designed to moisturise and protect dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin. It contains the same skin-softening ingredients as regular Doublebase Gel, but with a special formula that helps the effects last longer. It is suitable for adults, children, and babies and can be used throughout the day to keep skin soft, smooth, and comfortable.
How does it work?
Doublebase Dayleve Gel contains isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, which work together to:
- Hydrate and soften the skin
- Form a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss
- Relieve itching, dryness, and scaling
Its unique formulation allows it to stay on the skin longer than standard emollients, reducing the need for frequent reapplication during the day.
How to use Doublebase Dayleve Gel
- Apply directly to dry areas of the skin as often as needed.
- Use gentle downward strokes, do not rub in vigorously.
- Apply after washing or bathing to lock in moisture.
- Can be used alongside other emollient and steroid creams.
Using with other Doublebase products
Doublebase Dayleve Gel can be combined with other Doublebase treatments for complete skin care:
- Use Doublebase Emollient Shower Gel in the bath or shower to cleanse without drying the skin.
- Use Doublebase Dayleve Gel during the day for longer-lasting moisturising effect, especially for work or school hours.
This combination helps keep skin protected and comfortable all day long.
Doublebase Gel vs Doublebase Dayleve Gel: What's the difference?
Both Doublebase Gel and Doublebase Dayleve Gel are moisturising treatments (emollients) used to hydrate and protect dry, itchy, or eczema-prone skin. They contain the same active ingredients — isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin — but are formulated differently to suit different needs:
- Doublebase Gel: The standard version. Ideal for general use throughout the day or after bathing. It absorbs quickly and is suitable for all ages.
- Doublebase Dayleve Gel: Designed to last longer on the skin. Ideal for daytime use when regular reapplication is not convenient (e.g. work, school). The effects last up to 12 hours.
You can use both as part of a complete skincare routine — for example, Doublebase Gel after showering or before bed, and Doublebase Dayleve Gel during the day to maintain hydration between washes.
Who can use it?
Doublebase Dayleve Gel is suitable for babies, children, adults, and the elderly. It's ideal for anyone with:
- Eczema or atopic dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Dry, scaly, or itchy skin
- Sensitive or allergy-prone skin
Side effects
Side effects are rare, but may include:
- Mild skin irritation
- Redness or rash
- Allergic reaction (uncommon)
Stop using the gel and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if any irritation persists or worsens.
How many packs will I need?
A 500g bottle will last 2-4 weeks depending on the area treated and frequency of use.
