Basedouble Diomed Flare Relief Emollient-500gx3-Dual-Action/Steroid-Free Formula

Q. Can I buy Flare Relief without a prescription?
Yes! You don’t need a prescription. You can find Flare Relief in the Dry Skin & Eczema section at Boots, as well as in the healthcare aisles of most supermarkets, pharmacies, and online retailers.

Q. What makes Flare Relief different from regular moisturisers?
Flare Relief is more than just a moisturiser. It’s a dual-action emollient with added nicotinamide (a vitamin B3 derivative) that helps calm redness and inflammation. It’s designed for skin prone to flare-ups, and it’s completely steroid-free.

Q. Is Flare Relief safe for babies and children?
Yes, Flare Relief can be used every day by adults, children, and little ones over 1 year old.

Q. Can I use Flare Relief if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Extra care is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Although nicotinamide is a vitamin your body naturally needs, safety studies during pregnancy and breastfeeding haven’t been done. Use with caution, especially in the first trimester. If you need to apply it to the nipples while breastfeeding, use sparingly after a feed and gently wipe away any leftover cream before the next feed. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Q. Can I use Flare Relief instead of a steroid cream?
Flare Relief can be a helpful alternative if you want an emollient with extra anti-inflammatory action. It may reduce the need for stronger treatments like steroid creams. You can use it as often as needed and all over the body.

Q. Does Flare Relief help prevent flare-ups?
Yes. Thanks to nicotinamide’s proven anti-inflammatory benefits, Flare Relief is designed to calm redness and inflammation and help keep flare-ups at bay. You can use it just during flare-ups or every day if your skin benefits from the extra support.

Q. Is Flare Relief vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely. Flare Relief contains no animal-derived ingredients and has never been tested on animals. Our suppliers don’t test on animals either.

Q. What pack sizes are available?
Flare Relief comes in a handy 100g tube and a larger 500g pump bottle.

Q. What’s inside Flare Relief?
Key ingredients include:

• Isopropyl myristate (15%)

• Liquid paraffin (15%)

Q. Does Flare Relief contain nicotine?
No — it contains nicotinamide, not nicotine. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that naturally occurs in the body and helps reduce redness and inflammation.
