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.

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.

FAQ

Can I apply make-up on top of Eucerin AtopiControl Face Cream?

Yes, the face cream for Atopic Dermatitis makes an ideal make-up base. Be sure to check the ingredients on your make-up to ensure that it doesn’t include anything that might trigger symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis.

Is the face cream for eczema suitable for use on children?

Yes, so long as your child is four weeks or older.

What do you mean by a ‘flare-up’ and ‘the period between flare-ups’?

Broadly speaking, Atopic Dermatitis has two different phases. A ‘flare-up’ is one of the names used to describe the acute, active phase when skin is at its most irritable. It can feel intensely itchy, you may experience a burning sensation and skin can look dry, red and flaky. Between these acute, flare-up phases are periods of time when your skin is relatively calm and less irritated. This period is also known as the non-acute, non-active or interval phase. The length of each phase varies greatly depending on the individual, but products specially formulated to care for atopic skin − such as those in the Eucerin AtopiControl range − can help to extend the period between flare-ups and offer relief during acute flare-ups.

Can I use Eucerin AtopiControl Face Cream during a flare-up?

Yes. You can use Eucerin AtopiControl Face Cream daily − during flare-ups of Atopic Dermatitis as well as in the period between flare-ups. During acute, flare-up periods we also recommend that you use any medication recommended by your doctor and/or Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream to soothe your skin and reduce irritation. Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream is not a medical product, or intended to replace one, but is suitable for use alongside your medical treatment to help calm your skin. Apply your topical medical product first, followed by Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream. You can then use Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream for extra moisturisation.

Does Eucerin AtopiControl Face Cream offer sun protection?

No, and it’s important that you apply sun protection in the morning if your face is going to be exposed to sunlight. Try Eucerin Sun Creme SPF30 or Eucerin Sun Creme SPF50+.
