TENA Wash Cream, Proskin (500 ml)

Gentle Skin Care for Urinary Incontinence

As bladder function declines with age and leads to uncontrolled urine leakage, this places an enormous psychological strain on those affected. Reliable incontinence products in various absorbency levels and sizes offer effective protection against leaks and unpleasant odors in this situation. In addition, incontinence can weaken the already sensitive skin of older adults and cause unpleasant rashes. Consistent hygiene and targeted skin care are therefore particularly important.

TENA Wash Cream: Gentle cleansing to protect mature skin

TENA ProSkin Wash Cream was specifically developed to protect sensitive skin affected by incontinence. This mild cleansing cream is suitable for regular intimate care when changing incontinence products. It can also be used for whole-body care—anywhere where soap and water might dry out the skin too much.

The creamy 3-in-1 formula of the wash cream promotes skin health by simultaneously cleansing, nourishing, and protecting sensitive skin. Thanks to its special blend of ingredients, TENA Wash Cream provides seven times more moisture than conventional cleansing with soap and water.

Especially convenient: This gentle cleanser does not need to be rinsed off. This has proven particularly useful when caring for bedridden loved ones. It also promotes hygiene by preventing cross-contamination from sinks and washcloths.

The cleansing cream is dermatologically tested and has been awarded the Nordic Ecolabel for meeting strict consumer protection and environmental standards.

The product is alcohol- and soap-free. The light fragrance provides a fresh and clean feeling.

TENA ProSkin Wash Cream is available in two sizes: as a tube (250 ml) and in a convenient pump dispenser (500 ml).

Tips for Skin Care with Incontinence

Incontinence irritates the skin and makes it susceptible to dermatitis, infections, and rashes. Hygiene tailored to the skin of older adults helps prevent skin irritation while also promoting a sense of well-being.

Always keep the skin clean and dry, especially when changing used incontinence products. Wash the affected person’s genital area at least twice a day with warm water and a mild, soap-free cleanser.

Avoid products containing alcohol or disinfectants, as these can dry out the skin and cause soreness, rashes, and skin damage.

A traditional washcloth can be too rough for sensitive skin—wipes or wash gloves made of soft material are perfect for caring for older adults.

FAQ

Why do so many older adults suffer from incontinence?

As people age, the pelvic floor and sphincter muscles can weaken. As a result, those affected may have difficulty controlling their urine and bowel movements. In addition, the bladder’s elasticity decreases, so it can hold less urine than before.

As mobility declines, going to the bathroom can become more difficult, and the person may not reach the bathroom in time.

Incontinence affects a great many older adults and is often perceived as very uncomfortable and embarrassing. With understanding and the support of appropriate incontinence and skin care products for bladder weakness, you can help preserve the dignity of those affected and ensure they receive the best possible care.

Why is the skin more sensitive than usual when dealing with urinary incontinence?

The skin of older adults is already very sensitive. If, in addition, moisture from urine or feces remains on the skin due to incontinence, the body’s natural protective function can no longer be maintained, leading to skin damage. Once open sores have formed on the skin, bacteria can penetrate and cause a rash.

Isn’t it enough to clean the genital area regularly with soap and water?

Frequent washing with soap and water can actually make the situation worse, as conventional soap dries out the skin and further weakens it. This can result in an unpleasant skin rash. There is also a risk of infection, as the skin’s natural protective barrier is compromised and can no longer reliably ward off pathogens and bacteria.
