Product overview
Germolene Antiseptic Cream is expertly formulated with two highly effective active ingredients: Chlorhexidine Digluconate and Phenol. Chlorhexidine is a potent antiseptic that helps protect raw skin from bacterial infection. Phenol also acts as an antiseptic, but crucially, it provides a mild local anaesthetic action to numb the pain and soothe irritation. Whether you're focused on cleaning up a grazed knee from the playground, soothing an itchy insect sting, or protecting a minor kitchen burn, this product is designed to offer rapid, comforting relief.
Each application provides a protective, numbing layer, with a formula created for dual-action wound care, rapid pain relief, and dependable infection control.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does "Dual Action" mean?
Dual action means the cream performs two different functions at once. First, it acts as an antiseptic to clean the wound and prevent bacterial infection. Second, it acts as a local anaesthetic to lightly numb the area, easing pain and soothing itchiness.
Can I use Germolene on insect bites and stings?
Yes, it is highly effective for insect bites and stings. The local anaesthetic properties help to rapidly take the heat and itch away from the bite, while the antiseptic protects the broken skin if it has been scratched.
Is this suitable for children?
Yes, Germolene is a staple for family first-aid kits and is suitable for use on children's minor cuts and grazes. It is formulated not to sting upon application, which makes it much easier to apply to upset kids.
Why shouldn't I use soap when cleaning the wound before applying?
Soap can interfere with the active antiseptic ingredients in Germolene, making them less effective. It is best to gently clean the wound with just warm water before applying the cream.
Important information
Always read the patient information leaflet before use. For external use only.
Keep the cream away from your eyes and mouth. Do not use if you are allergic to Phenol, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, or any of the other ingredients.
If your symptoms persist, or if the wound is deep, bleeding heavily, or shows signs of severe infection (like excessive redness, heat, or swelling), seek medical advice immediately.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Store below 25°C.
