R1 & R2 is a two-step skin care system to defend your skin during and after radiotherapy. R1 is a Cooling Gel and R2 is a Soothing Lotion.

R1 & R2 was developed to provide defence against the skin effects of radiotherapy. It also provides relief and protection for your skin while improving comfort throughout radiation treatment. R1 & R2 helps to provide defence from Day 1 of radiation treatment, before any skin changes are visible.

R1 Cooling Gel is Step 1 of the system and provides intense hydration to your skin. It will also provide cooling relief for skin discomfort and irritation that may occur.

Directions: Apply a generous layer to the affected area each day following your radiotherapy. It is best to apply the gel as soon as it is reasonably practical for you. Do not rub into skin. The gel is most effective when applied in a thick layer and allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a minimum of 20 minutes. Any residue may be gently removed.

R2 Soothing Lotion is Step 2 of the system and adds needed moisture throughout the day and night. It contains Lactokine, which helps build the skin’s defense, so that skin can recover faster.

R2 Soothing Lotion also contains both UVA/UVB stabilisers that reinforce the skin’s natural barrier by helping to defend the formation of free radicals caused by UV exposure, sun exposure should be limited as much as possible.

Directions: Apply to skin 3-4 times a day including at night-time. Apply sparingly and evenly. Re-apply after towel drying, swimming, or sweating.

For best results, use Radiaderm immediately following your first therapy session

Lactokine is a clinically tested milk-based fluid that has been used in personal care products for over 15 years. It is a skin conditioning agent which assists in the reduction of redness.

Both R1 Cooling Gel and R2 Soothing Lotion are provided in 120ml ( 4 fl.oz ) tubes. One system pack will contain 1 x R1 120ml and 1 x R2 120ml

This is entirely dependent upon the size of the treatment area.

Both products are supplied as a system, R2 is also supplied separately so that you can continue to protect, moisturise and nurture your skin after your radiotherapy.

R1 & R2 is for topical use only and should not be ingested. If you are sensitive to the topical use of milk proteins, consult your physician.

Yes, both R1 Cooling Gel and R2 Soothing Lotion can be used on all skin types anywhere on the surface where the skin is being treated with radiation

Yes, the skin in your treatment area should be free of all product,including R1 and R2. Do not apply R2 in the four hours before your radiation treatment.

After you have applied R1 for a minimum of 20 minutes, wipe off any residual that has not been absorbed. Then you can immediately apply R2. It is important to make sure you apply R2 up to four times during the day to continue to provide moisturising and skin protecting benefits throughout the day and night.

If you can’t apply it immediately following your radiation treatment, apply R1 Cooling Gel as soon as you have a short block of time (not longer than four hours after your treatment) in which you can leave the irradiated area uncovered (minimum of 20 minutes). It will provide extra hydration and contains Lactokine™. As you go through your treatment, it will also help soothe and relieve the discomfort from any skin changes that may occur.
