Its antiseptic action helps to prevent infection while a soothing local anaesthetic numbs pain and helps to relieve itching and irritation from minor skin injuries. Germolene combines the antiseptic action of Chlorhexidine Digluconate with the antiseptic and local anaesthetic action of Phenol into a handy dual action formula. It is ideal for treating minor cuts and grazes, minor burns, scalds and blisters, stings and insect bites, spots, and chapped or rough skin.
