NART: 63174-00000-30 Atopic skin is dry, irritable and itchy. This itchiness induces scratching which triggers the itch-scratch cycle.

This complex, combined with a high concentration of Ceramides, strengthens skin’s barrier, alleviates dryness and relieves itchiness at a sensory level, thereby reducing the need to scratch.

This atopic dermatitis treatment is suitable for adults, children and babies. Ingredients We choose all our ingredients with great care and never compromise on quality.

View all Licochalcone A Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing ingredient. It is derived from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata) which uses natural compounds to protect its cells from excessive sunlight. When used in skincare products, Licochalcone A works to reduce inflammation and neutralize free radicals that negatively influence skin cells and accelerate the aging process. It helps to protect the deeper epidermal skin layers from sun-induced effects. Decanediol Decanediol (Decylene Glycol) is a moisturising ingredient with anti-bacterial properties. It is known to fight bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (which plays an important role in Atopic Dermatitis) and Propionibacterium acnes (which is involved in the development of acne). Ceramides Ceramides are important lipids in the hydrolipid film (which protects the external layers of skin). Produced naturally in healthy skin, they strengthen the skin barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss due to evaporation and keeping out irritants that can cause inflammation and itching. When skin’s Ceramide levels fall the skin barrier is impaired. Skin can start to lose water and become dry and irritated. Eucerin uses synthetic Ceramides that are biologically-identical and that enhance skin’s natural barrier – locking in moisture and preventing dryness and irritation. Evening Primrose Oil Evening Primrose Oil is a natural plant oil that contains a high percentage of Omega-6 fatty acids, namely Linoleic and Gamma-Linolenic Acid. These help stabilise the skin’s natural protective barrier and reduce moisture loss, which in turn soothes and nourishes rough and dry skin. Grape Seed Oil Grape Seed Oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E. The polyphenols and flavonoids found in Grape Seed Oil are strong anti-oxidant compounds and, thus, provide protection from damage caused by free radicals while Linoleic acid soothes and nourishes skin. How to Use Apply the atopic eczema cream as often as needed on flare-up areas. You may experience a cool sensation or tingling shortly after application. This is nothing to be concerned about and just shows that the product is working.
