Uriage Extra-Rich Dermatological Gel

Uriage Extra-Rich Dermatological Gel is a cleansing gel for the face and body from Uriage, the French dermo-cosmetic brand. It is formulated for dry to very dry and sensitive skin that can feel tight or uncomfortable after washing with ordinary soap. According to the manufacturer, it is a soap-free, enriched cleansing gel that cleanses gently while helping to respect the skin’s natural barrier. Like other Uriage products, it is formulated with Uriage Thermal Water, according to the brand.

Regular soaps can strip away the natural oils that keep skin soft and comfortable, which is a common concern for people with dry skin. An extra-rich cleansing gel offers a gentler way to wash, producing a soft lather that rinses off without leaving the skin feeling tight. It is designed for daily use in the bath or shower and can be used on both the face and body. Uriage positions this gel as suitable for the whole family, but always check the pack for any age guidance before use on babies.

In Malaysia, long hours in air-conditioned offices and frequent showers in hot weather can leave dry skin feeling even drier. Switching to a gentle, enriched cleanser is a simple step in a dry-skin care routine. Ideally, follow with a suitable moisturiser straight after showering while the skin is still slightly damp. As with any new product, those with very sensitive skin may wish to try a small area first.

• Wet the skin with lukewarm water.
• Apply a small amount of Uriage Extra-Rich Dermatological Gel to the face or body and gently massage to form a light lather.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water, avoiding the eye area.
• Pat the skin dry with a soft towel and follow with your usual moisturiser.

• Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Close the cap tightly after use and avoid letting water get into the bottle.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Uriage Extra-Rich Dermatological Gel is generally well tolerated when used as directed.
• Temporary stinging or tingling, particularly on very dry or sensitive skin.
• Redness or mild irritation in individuals sensitive to an ingredient.
• Eye irritation if the product gets into the eyes.
• Stop use and consult a doctor or pharmacist if any reaction persists or worsens.

• Do not use if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients.
• Do not apply to broken, cut or severely inflamed skin.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water.
• For external use only.

• No known food interactions.
• Avoid using with harsh soaps or exfoliating scrubs in the same wash, as this may dry the skin.
• If you are using prescribed topical treatments, check with your doctor or pharmacist before layering products.

• Use lukewarm rather than hot water to help avoid drying the skin.
• Keep showers short, especially if your skin feels tight afterwards.
• Apply moisturiser within a few minutes of drying off.
• Pat rather than rub your skin dry.
• Wash after heavy sweating in Malaysia’s hot, humid weather rather than letting sweat sit on the skin.

Uriage Extra-Rich Dermatological Gel is a rinse-off cleanser for dry and sensitive skin. If you have very sensitive skin, try it on a small area first and check how your skin responds before using it all over.

If you are using it on babies or young children, check the age guidance on the pack and speak to a doctor or pharmacist if unsure. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
