shareCopy link to clipboard.Derma Shield is manufactured under Medical Device conditions and wherever possible hypoallergenic ingredients are used, so, apart from the nappy area of children under three years of age, it is safe to use on your child’s skin. If their skin is very sore, as with all products you try for the first time, it would be sensible to try just a little bit on one area of their skin first.

It cannot be used with long-lasting/all day lotions e.g., P20
Apply Derma Shield before the sun tan lotion.
shareCopy link to clipboard.Derma Shield allows your skin to breath and perspire normally so it is unusual to need to remove the protective shield that would only come off as your skin sheds naturally. Derma Shield also contains Aloe vera, which has a natural antibacterial action. Anecdotal evidence from acne sufferers indicates that this is sometime helpful in controlling some elements of their skin problem.
Because of the shield mentioned above and its ability to resist alcohol solutions it is unlikely that any astringent would easily penetrate the breathing protective layer on your skin. It may be worth trying Derma Shield on one area of your skin without using Clearasil and noting the difference.

shareCopy link to clipboard.In common with nearly all skin preparations, Derma Shield is best used by itself. Because Derma Shield bonds to the epidermis there are a few exceptions. Having applied Derma Shield and given time to sink in and bond to your skin the remaining emollients on the surface of your skin can then be washed off using a mild soap and warm water. If the second preparation you are thinking of using is one that is designed to stay exclusively on the skin surface then this can be applied to your skin. Caution should be used if the second preparation is a sun screen as it may not give the full protection expected.

The lotion is light, takes a little more work to apply but is absorbed into your skin very quickly.
The cream has a very luxurious feel and although it sinks into your skin quickly you will feel it on your skin for longer than either the mousse or lotion.
All three variants produce the same results, so it is a matter of personal choice. More information can be found here.
