Care Adapted to All Stages of Atopic Skin

It is common to think of the skin as merely our protective shield, a physical barrier that guards us from the external environment. However, this vital organ is much more than that. It is closely linked to our emotional well-being. When our skin has a problem, so do we, and Atopic Dermatitis is no exception!

Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that manifests as dry skin, itching, flaking, pain, and redness. It is quite common, affecting 20% of children and up to 10% of adults worldwide.¹

While not all causes and mechanisms of the disease are fully understood, it is known that there is a chronic barrier dysfunction in Atopic Dermatitis. The skin becomes vulnerable, allowing an increase in transepidermal water loss and the entry of irritants, such as microorganisms and allergens, triggering the disease's symptoms.

The AtopiControl range from Eucerin provides solutions for all phases of atopic skin with tailored, innovative care that directly targets skin manifestations. These products are enriched with active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier and hydration, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids, Ceramides, and Natural Moisturizing Factors. To soothe and calm the skin, the range includes Licochalcone A and Symsitive®. Decanediol combats bacterial colonization, a characteristic of this condition. Finally, as itching is one of the main manifestations of atopic skin, Mentoxipropanediol and Polidocanol ensure a refreshing effect, quickly relieving the itch.

For those who prefer ultra-light textures and consider their skin normal to dry, we recommend the new Soothing Hydro-Lotion. This innovation is absorbed quickly - in just 60 seconds - and provides an immediate refreshing effect, in addition to reducing itching. It is the ideal option for those looking for practical and effective care, even on busy days or in hot climates.

The skin of the face and hands can also often be affected. The Soothing Face Cream provides hydration to the face, reducing itching and redness. The Soothing Hand Cream has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly, hydrates, and reduces itching on the hands.

During flare phases of atopic skin, when symptoms intensify, the   Acute Care Cream offers localized relief, reducing irritation and itching for up to 12 hours. Meanwhile, the Soothing Spray acts quickly, in just 6 seconds, and provides prolonged action for up to 6 hours, making it the ideal complement for intense itching situations.
