FAQs
Can I use this gel under bandages?
It is generally recommended to allow the gel to absorb completely before covering, but avoid using airtight bandages or dressings over the application site.
How often can I apply Ibuleve Maximum Strength Gel?
Follow the specific frequency instructions on the product packaging or consult your pharmacist regarding the recommended interval between applications.
Is this safe for children?
This product is primarily formulated for adult use. Please check the product label for age restrictions or consult a pediatrician.
Does this gel stain clothing?
The gel is designed to be non-greasy, but it is best to allow it to dry completely before dressing to avoid any potential contact with fabric.
Can I use it on sunburned skin?
No, do not apply this product to broken, sunburned, or irritated skin.
What should I do if I get the gel in my eyes?
Rinse the eyes immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice if irritation continues.
Troubleshooting
Skin redness or irritation upon application
Immediately stop use and wash the area with cool water. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
Gel feels sticky on the skin
Ensure you are using a smaller amount and massaging it into the skin for a longer duration until fully absorbed.
Tube is difficult to squeeze
Check if the cap is obstructed by dried gel; clean the nozzle and ensure the tube is not overly cold, which can thicken the gel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the gel, ensure the skin area is clean and dry. Squeeze the required amount from the 30g tube and gently massage it into the skin until it disappears. Always wash your hands thoroughly after application unless the hands themselves are the area being treated. Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent the gel from drying out. Compatibility-wise, the gel is intended for external use only. Consult with a pharmacist or doctor if you are currently using other topical treatments or have pre-existing skin conditions to avoid potential adverse reactions.
