Light Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerine: Brands, Price & Uses in Bangladesh

Light Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerine is a topical emollient (skin protectant/moisturizer) indicated for:

• Established use: Symptomatic relief of dry, rough, or flaky skin conditions, including dry skin associated with eczema, dermatitis, ichthyosis, and general xerosis (dry skin).
• Established use: As a skin barrier protectant to reduce water loss from the skin and restore the skin's natural barrier function.
• Adjunct use: As an emollient adjunct alongside prescribed topical steroids or other dermatological therapy in chronic dry skin conditions, to soothe and soften the skin between applications of active treatment.
• General/cosmetic use: Everyday moisturizing of normal-to-dry skin, and protection of skin exposed to harsh environmental conditions (wind, cold, frequent washing).

This is an over-the-counter topical product; it is not intended to treat the underlying cause of a skin disease and does not replace prescribed medical treatment when one is required.

Adult Dose

Apply Light Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerine liberally to the affected area(s) of clean, dry skin 2-3 times daily, or as often as needed to keep the skin adequately moisturized, especially after bathing/showering while the skin is still slightly damp.

Pediatric Dose

May be used in children as a general skin moisturizer; apply a thin-to-moderate layer to affected areas 2-3 times daily. Use in infants should be guided by a physician or pharmacist, particularly for widespread or persistent dry skin conditions.

Method of Application

For external (topical) use only. Smooth gently into the skin in the direction of hair growth until absorbed; avoid vigorous rubbing. Wash hands after application unless the hands are the treated area.

Light Liquid Paraffin + White Soft Paraffin + Glycerine is generally very well tolerated, with a low incidence of side effects due to minimal systemic absorption. Reported effects are mostly local and include:

• Mild transient stinging, itching, or redness at the site of application, particularly on broken or inflamed skin.
• Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles) with prolonged occlusive use in some individuals.
• Rare allergic contact dermatitis or hypersensitivity reactions to a component of the formulation.
• A greasy or oily skin feel, which is expected with paraffin-based occlusive products.

Discontinue use and seek medical advice if signs of an allergic reaction or worsening skin irritation occur.
