The product is a 99% solution which must always be diluted before use. The required working concentration depends on the intended application and your skin's sensitivity. For cosmetic or local skin applications, a common starting point is to dilute the solution with distilled water or another compatible, gentle liquid to achieve a concentration between 10% and 50%. For instance, to make a 25% solution, you could mix 1 part of the 99% Dimexid with approximately 3 parts of your chosen diluent. The exact ratio is not specified by the product; it is designed for you to adjust based on your specific needs and tolerance. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin with your diluted mixture to check for any adverse reaction before wider use. It is advisable to prepare small, fresh batches for each use. The concentrated format offers flexibility, but a careful approach is essential as higher concentrations can be more irritating.
When diluting, use clean utensils and containers. Only combine it with ingredients or products you trust and understand, as Dimexid can increase their absorption. If your skin is reactive or you are uncertain, seeking professional advice is recommended. This product is not intended for casual or broad-area application.
