TENA Barrier Cream 150 ml

Effective skin protection for incontinence

Healthy skin plays an important role in physical well-being. The aging process also takes its toll on the skin—it becomes more sensitive and prone to injury. Incontinence further irritates the skin of older adults, making it susceptible to inflammation, rashes, and dermatitis. Regular hygiene and skincare tailored to sensitive skin therefore play a central role in incontinence care.

Gentle cream for the first signs of skin irritation

TENA ProSkin Barrier Cream is a clear, water-repellent cream designed to prevent skin irritation and protect skin health. The gentle formula provides a strong barrier against irritants and is ideal for use on areas of the skin that are already showing the first signs of redness and irritation caused by incontinence, especially in the sensitive intimate area. With regular use, this protective cream can effectively prevent skin damage.

Thanks to the natural ingredients glycerin, canola oil, and vitamin E, irritated skin is gently cared for and moisturized. The formula has been dermatologically tested and has a long track record of effectiveness in skin care. Since it contains no fragrances or preservatives, the product is ideal for sensitive skin.

TENA Barrier Cream has been awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for meeting strict consumer protection and environmental standards.

FAQ

What do I need to care for a family member with incontinence?

• To ensure your loved one feels clean and comfortable around the clock, it’s helpful to be well-prepared and to have everything needed for reliable incontinence care on hand—both at home and on the go. This includes
• Special underwear or pads with protective pants, with absorbency levels tailored to the user’s bladder weakness
• Mild cleansing creams for cleansing and skin care that, if possible, do not need to be rinsed off
• A water-repellent, moisturizing barrier cream for application to irritated skin areas
• Soft dry wipes for cleaning with water or moist disposable wipes for on the go
• Disposable gloves
• Large plastic bags with a zipper for used incontinence products or soiled clothing

How can skin irritation caused by incontinence be prevented?

The skin of older adults is already very sensitive and no longer as resistant to external influences. In addition, urine can damage the skin’s acid mantle. Bacteria and fungi that are normally harmless can then no longer be repelled and may cause unpleasant skin rashes or infections.

Consistent hygiene is therefore extremely important when caring for incontinent family members. Choose incontinence products with high absorbency that reliably keep the person dry. Always ensure that the protection is changed in a timely manner and that the skin is carefully cleansed with mild cleansing lotions, which—unlike water and conventional soap—do not irritate the skin. To prevent moisture from remaining on the skin, the genital area should then be thoroughly patted dry. For additional protection of sensitive skin, we recommend using a water-repellent barrier cream with nourishing ingredients.

Can’t baby products also be used to treat diaper rash caused by incontinence?

While it is generally true that baby oils and similar cleansing lotions are good for sensitive skin, they are intended for use on infants and toddlers. It is therefore recommended to use products specifically tailored to the needs of older adults with incontinence. TENA has developed the ProSkin line specifically for the incontinence care of older adults. In addition to reliable incontinence protection that ensures high absorbency and long-lasting dryness, the range also includes wipes and creams for cleansing and caring for sensitive skin, as well as a barrier cream to prevent skin irritation.
