Raguard Gel 50gm is used for:

• Dry skin: It helps moisturise and condition dry skin.

• Skin protection: Its silicone-based ingredients form a protective film over the skin.

• Skin conditioning: The formulation helps improve the feel and smoothness of dry skin.

The available product listing identifies Raguard as a moisturising gel for dry skin and lists Dimethicone as its key ingredient.

Raguard Gel contains silicone-based ingredients that form a thin layer over the skin.

Dimethicone helps reduce water loss from the skin and provides a protective barrier. Dimethiconol contributes to the conditioning and smooth feel of the formulation. Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a film-forming silicone that helps the formulation form a layer over the skin.

Together, these ingredients help keep the skin moisturised and protected from excessive dryness.

Raguard Gel is applied to the skin, so significant interactions with medicines taken by mouth are not expected when it is used as directed. However, tell your doctor or pharmacist about other products you apply to the same area.

• Other topical medicines: Applying several topical products together may affect how they spread or are absorbed.

• Moisturisers and creams: Ask your pharmacist or doctor whether other skincare products should be applied before or after Raguard.

• Medicines for damaged skin: Do not apply Raguard over an area being treated with another topical medicine unless advised.

• Store Raguard Gel according to the instructions provided on the product packaging.

• Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

• Protect it from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

• Do not use the gel after the expiry date.
