FAQ's About G16 Skin Repair Lotion For Ichthyosis Vulgaris (2025)

Can I use G16 with another moisturizer/lotion or skin product?

We recommend that you use only G16 for at least the first month. This is because using other products at the same time can dilute G16 and affect the results. Once you are seeing the great results with G16, you can use trial and error when it comes to introducing other products to see what works best for you.

I have been using G16 for a week and it is making my skin very dry should I stop using it?

No, do not stop using G16 as this is completely normal and it is just the skin getting ready to exfoliate the old dead cells. You should continue to use G16 exactly as per the instructions and start to aid the exfoliation by gently rubbing your skin with a wash cloth when bathing.

Can I use G16 on a baby or child?

We do not recommend using G16 on children under 4 years of age. This is because the skin is very sensitive due to some of the natural acids in G16.

When I apply G16, it stings my skin or makes it red, should I stop using it?

The most common cause of this is that the skin is scratched or broken. Sometimes the skin can be broken but is not visible to the eye. If it stings badly and persists, then wash it with some water, leave for a few days and try applying again on the same area.

How long does it take G16 to start working?

It usually takes around 4-5 days if the instructions are followed exactly but every person is different due to their unique genetic make-up. People have seen results in as little as three days and others it has been closer to 21 days. It depends on many factors such as weather/temperature, how bad your condition is, if the instructions have been followed exactly, if G16 has been diluted by another product or washed off before it has had time to start to work.

How long should I leave G16 on my skin?

You need to leave G16 on your skin for at least 6-8 hours, ideally 10 hours, before it is washed off. Most people will shower or bath once per day, so it should be applied after washing when the skin has been completely dried. It should be applied once in the morning and once in the evening, ideally before you sleep.

Does G16 leave a greasy layer on the skin?

No, G16 has been developed to soak in to the skin within minutes and will not leave a greasy layer on your skin. Our unique G16 technology will leave a micro layer on the skin but it will not be detectable until you wash it off

How much G16 should I use on each area of my body?

For the average adult we recommend one full pump on each lower leg, one full pump on each upper leg, one full pump for each arm, 2 full pumps for the front of the torso, 2 full pumps for the back of the torso and half pump for the face or scalp. You can halve this amount for a child.

What happens if I get G16 in my eye or mouth?

Wash with cold water immediately until the lotion has been washed out. It does not taste nice, so do not apply to the mouth or other mucus membranes

How long will a bottle last me?

It all depends on the condition you are using it on, how severe it is and which parts of the body are affected. For the average person, you will expect to use about two bottles in the first month and about one bottle per month thereafter. People generally use more in the first month as this is when the skin is at its worst. After 4-6 weeks when the skin starts to become normal you can use less and less. After 8 weeks, people normally use G16 one week on and one week off to keep the skin looking good and maintain it.

Why is it expensive?

Will G16 cure my condition permanently?

G16 is a treatment and not a cure. Depending on your skin condition it can sometimes completely restore the skin without the symptoms coming back. If your condition is genetic, it is likely that you will need to keep using G16; however after the initial six weeks of using G16 you can use trial and error to use the least amount of lotion possible.
