Can Bepanthen Tattoo Ointment cause tattoo colour fading?
Bepanthen® Tattoo Ointment has been dermatologically tested on tattooed skin in a clinical study. The clinical study investigated the efficacy and cosmetic performance of Bepanthen® Tattoo Ointment on the healing of freshly tattooed skin when applied 4-8 times daily over 14 days. All participants showed an uncomplicated healing process of the skin and there were no reported adverse events considered unrelated to the tattooing process. Tattoo colour fading was not reported as an adverse effect to Bepanthen® Tattoo Ointment in the clinical study1.
Directions
DIRECTIONS: TATTOO AFTER CARE
- Don't Touch: No peeking under the bandage. Keep it on for however long your artist tells you - usually at least two hours.
- Remove the bandage: Always wash your hands with mild soap before any physical contact with your fresh tattoo. When removing the bandage, be gentle. If it sticks to your skin, try wetting it with lukewarm water so it comes off more easily.
- Wash the skin: You may see some blood or ooze - gross, but normal. Gently wash the tattooed area and surrounding skin at least once daily with lukewarm water and a mild soap.
- Dry it well: Pat the skin dry with a clean paper towel or alternatively allow the tattoo to air dry, and no rubbing. Seriously. You may irritate the skin or make it bleed.
- Moisturise with Bepanthen: It's important to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Apply a thin layer to cover the tattooed area evenly at least four times a day and as needed.
- Keep it up: Continue to clean and moisturise the tattooed area until it has completely healed (may take up to 4 weeks). Keep it up even after the scabs are gone. FYI, there may be scabs.
- Things to avoid:
- Scratching the skin or picking scabs
- Immersing your tattoo in water, such as hot baths, spas or swimming pools
- Harsh or direct sunlight
- Tight, restrictive clothing
- Working out or straining the area
-
Note: If your skin continues to swell, stays red or feels hot, keep your cool and talk to a healthcare professional.
