Cavilon

Protecting vulnerable skin

Skin that's exposed to moisture (for example with incontinence), friction or frequent cleansing can become sore and broken down. Cavilon products form a protective barrier that helps shield the skin while allowing it to breathe — the durable cream is long-lasting and doesn't need frequent reapplication, and the no-sting film is useful on intact or damaged skin. They're commonly used as part of a continence or skin-care routine. For broken, infected or deteriorating skin, seek professional advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cavilon used for?

It protects skin from moisture, friction and irritation — commonly in continence care and for at-risk or vulnerable skin.

What's the difference between the cream and the film?

The durable barrier cream is a long-lasting protective cream; the no-sting barrier film is a spray/wipe that forms a breathable protective layer, usable even on sore skin.

When should I get professional advice?

Seek advice from a nurse, pharmacist or GP for broken, infected, painful or deteriorating skin, or for pressure-area concerns.
