收藏: TENA ProSkin Skincare

Wipes, Barrier Cream & Skin Protection

Continence care doesn’t begin and end with the absorbent product. The skin underneath is exposed to moisture, friction, and repeated cleansing every time a product is changed — and over time, without the right skin care routine, that exposure causes real damage. Incontinence-associated dermatitis is one of the most common and most preventable complications in continence care, and it develops precisely because the skin care side of the equation gets treated as an afterthought.

TENA’s ProSkin skincare range exists to address that directly. Developed alongside their absorbent products, endorsed by the Skin Health Alliance, and dermatologically tested for use on skin that’s regularly exposed to moisture during continence care — the ProSkin skincare range closes the gap between leakage management and skin health management.

The products we stock cover three core functions: gentle cleansing during changes, skin-safe alternatives to plastic-containing wipes, and barrier protection between changes.

What Is Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis and How TENA ProSkin Skincare Helps

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is skin damage caused by prolonged or repeated exposure to urine and faeces. It begins as redness and irritation in the perineal area and inner thighs, and if left unaddressed, can progress to painful skin breakdown, blistering, and open wounds that significantly affect quality of life and become entry points for infection.

IAD is extremely common in people managing incontinence — particularly older adults, people with limited mobility, and anyone using high-absorbency products for extended periods. It’s also largely preventable with the right skin care routine.

The three components of effective IAD prevention are cleansing, protecting, and moisturising. Cleansing with a product that removes moisture and residue without stripping skin — which is what TENA ProSkin Soft Wipes and Plastic Free Wet Wipes do. Protecting with a barrier cream that reduces direct skin contact with moisture between changes — which is what the ProSkin Barrier Cream does. And using absorbent products with moisture management technology that draws urine away from the skin surface quickly — which is what ProSkin FeelDry Advanced does across TENA’s absorbent range.

The TENA ProSkin skincare range is designed to work alongside TENA absorbent products as a complete skin care system rather than a standalone product line.

How to Use TENA ProSkin Skincare During Continence Care

The skin care routine during a continence product change doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective. The key is consistency — applying it at every change rather than only when skin appears irritated.

During each change, use ProSkin Soft Wipes or Plastic Free Wet Wipes to gently cleanse the perineal area and surrounding skin. Wipe from front to back, use a fresh wipe for each area, and avoid rubbing — gentle patting motions reduce friction on skin that may already be sensitised. Allow the skin to dry or gently pat dry before applying the Barrier Cream.

Apply the ProSkin Barrier Cream to the perineal area and any skin regularly exposed to moisture. A thin, even layer is sufficient — the cream doesn’t need to be applied thickly to be effective. Reapply at each change as part of the routine.

For people with existing skin irritation, redness, or breakdown, a GP, wound care nurse, or continence nurse should assess the skin before a new product routine is started. The ProSkin skincare range is appropriate for preventive use on at-risk skin, but active skin breakdown requires clinical assessment and management.
