What is Doublebase?

Doublebase is a well-known dermatological skincare brand that specialises in high-performance emollients for dry, itchy and sensitive skin. Its formulations are based on a blend of occlusive and humectant ingredients, which help retain moisture, reduce water loss and support the skin’s natural defence mechanisms. Doublebase is widely recommended by pharmacists, GPs and dermatologists as a first-line treatment for dry skin conditions, including eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis and general skin irritation.

Benefits and Features of the Welzo Doublebase Collection

  • Deep moisturisation: Helps lock moisture into the skin and reduces transepidermal water loss.
  • Suitable for all ages: Gentle formulations suitable for babies, children and adults.
  • Steroid-free: Can be used daily and alongside prescribed medicated creams.
  • Non-greasy texture: Absorbs effectively while still providing a strong protective layer.
  • Barrier-repair action: Supports healing and strengthens skin resilience over time.
  • Clinically trusted brand: Frequently used in NHS skincare routines.

Why is Doublebase Important for Dry Skin and Eczema?

Dry skin conditions often involve a weakened skin barrier, which increases irritation, sensitivity and inflammation. Doublebase plays an essential role in daily skin management because it delivers immediate hydration while forming a protective layer that prevents moisture loss. This combination helps reduce flare-ups, soothe itching and keep the skin comfortable throughout the day. Many customers pair Doublebase with complementary ranges such as body skincare or targeted eczema treatments for complete skin support.

How to Use Doublebase Products

Each Doublebase product is designed for simple, effective daily use. General guidance includes:

  • Doublebase Gel: Apply generously onto clean skin and smooth in the direction of hair growth to reduce irritation.
  • Doublebase Dayleve Gel: Suitable for long-lasting hydration, requiring fewer daily applications.
  • Doublebase Emollient Bath Additives: Add to warm (not hot) bathwater to soften and hydrate dry, itchy skin.
  • Doublebase Wash Gel: Use instead of regular soap to prevent moisture depletion and support the skin barrier.

For young children or those with recurring irritation, Doublebase is frequently used alongside products from the baby & child skin conditions category.

Statistics, Research and Expert Insights

Clinical studies show that regular emollient use can reduce eczema flare-ups by up to 50% and improve overall skin hydration values within 7–14 days. Doublebase, designed with long-established dermatological ingredients, supports barrier restoration and reduces dryness more effectively than standard lotions. Research also highlights that patients who use emollients consistently are less likely to require frequent steroid treatments.
