Frequently asked questions
Is Lucas' Papaw Remedies Pawpaw Ointment 15g suitable for sensitive skin?
Sensitivity tolerance varies by product. Many skincare products are labelled hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, or suitable for sensitive skin — check the Lucas' packaging or, for medical-grade dermatologic products, speak with your dermatologist or pharmacist. Patch testing on a small area before broad use is sensible for any new skincare product.
Can Lucas' Papaw Remedies Pawpaw Ointment 15g be used during pregnancy?
Most external skincare ingredients are safe in pregnancy, but some (retinoids, high-strength salicylic acid, hydroquinone) are not recommended. Australian Prescriber publishes guidance on skincare in pregnancy. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about a specific product.
How long before I see results?
Skincare results vary by product and skin condition. Moisturisers and barrier-repair products typically provide immediate symptomatic relief but full skin recovery takes weeks. Active treatments (e.g. for acne, eczema) may take 4-12 weeks for visible improvement. If a product causes irritation or no improvement after the labelled treatment period, speak with your pharmacist or dermatologist.
Is Lucas' Papaw Remedies Pawpaw Ointment 15g listed with the TGA?
Therapeutic skincare products (those making therapeutic claims like "treats eczema") must be listed or registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Cosmetic skincare products (those making cosmetic claims like "moisturises") are regulated separately. Check the on-pack labelling for an AUST L or AUST R number if a therapeutic claim is made.
How should I store Lucas' Papaw Remedies Pawpaw Ointment 15g?
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Some active ingredients (vitamin C, retinoids) degrade in light or heat — keep in the original packaging until use. Do not use after the period-after-opening symbol (e.g. 12M = 12 months after first opening) or the printed expiry date.
