Skin care ingredients - can i use dermol 500 daily longterm?

Extremely niche, but if you're into skincare you may recognise these ingredients and be able to tell me if its ok to use daily longterm. My doctor gave it to me for eczema and whilst i dont NEED it, it makes the skin on my face incredible so i don't want to stop using it. I know i should ask my doctor but its actually very hard to get an appointment for anything not urgent. I will ask the pharmacist as soon as i can get there, but feel like they may be cautious to say its ok to use everyday - but may well feel that way about alot of the ingredients used in skin care these days! Anyway, ingredients are
Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride 0.1%
benzalkonium chloride 0.1%
Isopropyl myristate 10%
Liquid parafin 10%
Any views appreciated!

Yes it's fine to use every day

Loads of people use it everyday

It’s fine to use everyday - I’ve been using it for at least 8 years, and have had regular reviews with the doctors to check on my prescriptions (I have eczema so also use steroids) no issues with the dermol 500 at all, if that is at all reassuring.

The benzalkonium chloride ingredient is an anti septic. I don't know enough about this ingredient or this amount/concentration in a product to advise if can be used every day, or just when needed to keep eczema from getting infected. So you may want to check with a pharmacist. It does sound like other posters have used it with no problems though.
