Our Top Skincare Products for Incontinence Care

Managing incontinence isn’t just about choosing the right absorbent products — it’s also about protecting your skin. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to irritation, dryness, and even painful skin breakdown if not addressed properly. That’s why using the right skincare products is essential for maintaining comfort and skin health.

How Does Incontinence Affect Your Skin?

Living with incontinence means your skin is often in contact with moisture, which can lead to discomfort or irritation if not properly managed. When urine and fecal matter come into contact with the skin, ammonia alters the skin’s pH levels, triggering a range of side effects. Over time, this exposure can weaken the skin, making it more vulnerable to rashes, inflammation, and even sores. If left untreated, these symptoms can worsen and develop into Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD).

What are the Best Practices to Keep Skin Healthy?

Here's where the good news comes in. Incontinence Associated Dermatitis can be avoided with gentle, protective skincare products and daily treatment:

• Clean the affected area promptly using pH-balanced, fragrance-free cleansers, wipes, and always pat the skin dry rather than rubbing.
• Applying a protective barrier cream after each cleaning helps shield the skin from moisture and irritation.
• Choosing breathable incontinence products and changing them frequently can further prevent skin breakdown and reduce the risk of developing Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD).

Wipes and Washcloths

Incontinence wipes and washcloths offer a gentle, no-rinse solution for cleansing the skin after accidents. Formulated to be pH-balanced and often enriched with moisturizers, they help maintain skin integrity and reduce irritation. Their portability makes them especially useful for caregivers and individuals managing incontinence both at home and while travelling.

Moisturizers and Barrier Creams

Formulated for vulnerable skin, incontinence moisturizers and barrier creams work hand-in-hand to soothe, protect, and strengthen the skin.
