About Preparation H Clear Gel
Three-way action in a gel that disappears: Preparation H Clear Gel moisturises the skin, cools the anal area and soothes itching, giving cooling relief from the sore skin associated with piles. Quickly absorbed, non-greasy, and made with natural soothing ingredients. 50g.
Why a clear gel rather than an ointment
Ointments are effective but greasy, and they mark underwear — a real consideration when you need to apply something several times a day at work. A gel absorbs quickly and leaves nothing behind, which for many people is the difference between using a treatment properly and skipping doses.
How to use
Cleanse the area gently and pat dry, then apply the gel as directed on the pack. Repeat as needed through the day.
Good to know
This soothes and cools rather than anaesthetising — if pain is the dominant problem, a lidocaine product may suit better; ask our pharmacist. And any rectal bleeding must be checked by a GP rather than assumed to be piles.

Frequently asked questions
Gel or ointment?
The gel absorbs quickly and doesn't mark underwear, which makes it far easier to use through the day. Ointments are greasier but stay put longer.
Does it numb the pain?
It cools and soothes rather than anaesthetising. If pain is the main problem, a lidocaine product like Germoloids may suit you better.
I'm bleeding — should I just treat it?
No. Any rectal bleeding needs a GP's assessment before you assume it's piles.
