About
Our hands are frequently in contact with water and cleaning products. Depending on the work we do, they may also be exposed to other chemicals. These factors can damage skin’s barrier and cause skin to dry out and become tight and rough and prone to redness, scaling and itchiness.
Eucerin AtopiControl Calming Hand Cream smoothes and soothes skin. The quick-absorbing and non-greasy formula has a unique active ingredient complex of soothing Licochalcone A, anti-bacterial Decanediol and itch-relieving Methoxypropanediol (MPD). This complex, combined with a high concentration of Ceramides and Avena Sativa (Oatmeal), works as a strong moisturizer for hand eczema, strengthens the skin’s barrier, alleviates dryness and relieves the sensation of itchiness.
The formula is fragrance free. Though widely valued for its soothing properties, some people can be allergic to oatmeal. With regular use, skin condition noticeably improves and skin feels smooth and supple even with frequent washing.

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 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.
An innovation developed by Beiersdorf Skin Research, Menthoxypropanediol is a derivative of menthol. It cools skin and works at a sensory level to reduce feelings of itchiness. When skin no longer feels itchy, there is no need to scratch it and so further damage to the skin barrier is avoided.
Is Atopic Dermatitis the same as Eczema?
Dermatitis and Eczema are the same thing: collective terms for inflammatory changes in the skin. As such, they include many different dermatological diseases. Atopic Eczema and Atopic Dermatitis are also the same thing.
What causes Hand Eczema?
There are several different causes for Hand Eczema. In some people it occurs because of an underlying skin disease. Other people get Hand Eczema because of external factors such as frequent washing or the use of chemicals in the workplace. Hand Eczema can also be triggered by an allergic reaction to some substances.
When to use this Eucerin hand cream?
If you have Atopic Dermatitis or Hand Eczema, the hand cream soothes skin, reduces redness and strengthens skin’s natural barrier and can be used as often as required.
