Intermed Perianal Wash: mild cleansing for a sensitive area
The Intermed Perianal Wash is a gentle cleansing liquid in a 200ml bottle, specially designed for daily hygiene and care of the perianal area. Its formula is based on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and extracts from five herbs with a long tradition in skin care: aloe, chamomile, witch hazel, thyme, and lavender.
The area around the anus has thin, sensitive skin that is cleaned many times a day, often with paper or soaps not made for this use. In people with hemorrhoids, after childbirth, during periods of constipation or diarrhea, friction and harsh cleansers make daily life more uncomfortable. The manufacturer recommends the Perianal Wash precisely for these cases, as a mild hygiene product to include in the bath routine.
Why the right cleanser in the perianal area matters
Common body washes and bar soaps usually have an alkaline character and strong surfactants. In areas with thick skin, like the hands, this rarely bothers. In a place where the skin is thinner and already distressed, however, repeated use of them can leave a feeling of dryness and stinging.
A specialized cleansing liquid aims to remove dirt without burdening the skin. Cleansing with water and mild liquid is also more gentle than repeated wiping with dry paper, which often constitutes the main source of friction. Therefore, many doctors and pharmacists recommend washing with water instead of dry wiping in this specific area, where this is practically feasible.
The standout ingredients
- Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Structural lipids found in the natural skin barrier. Included in cleansing cosmetics to limit the feeling of dryness after washing.
- Aloe (Aloe vera). One of the best-known plant ingredients for sensitive skin, with a mild, refreshing sensation.
- Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). A traditional herb for the care of irritated and sensitive skin.
- Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). A herbal extract rich in tannins, with a long tradition in the care of the perianal area.
- Thyme and lavender. Aromatic herbs of Mediterranean tradition, used in hygiene products for the clean, fresh feeling they leave.
