Product info
Eucerin's AtoControl Acute Care Cream breaks the vicious circle of itchy flare-ups with soothing care. AtoControl Acute Care Cream is not a pharmaceutical product.
Apply as often as needed on the affected areas to intensively care, calm and soothe skin. Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream is a unique complex which includes regenerating Omega-6- fatty acids (Evening Primrose Oil and Grape Seed Oil), soothing Licochalcone A (an extract from the licorice root), anti-bacterial Decandiol and cooling Menthoxypropanediol. It has been clinically and dermatologically proven to be suitable for atopic skin in adults, children and babies from the age of 3 months.
To minimise the risk of skin irritation and allergies, it is cortisone-free, fragrance-free, colourant-free and paraben-free.
Clinical and dermatological studies
Very good care efficacy and skin tolerability proven on atopic skin
Main findings
In a Product in Use (PiU) test, Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream was used alongside Eucerin AtoControl Lotion by a sample of 144 men and women, all aged 30+, with mild and moderate Atopic Dermatitis. After four weeks of daily use they reported the following results:
Improves skin condition
97% agreed with the statement that the products “Improve skin condition”
Supports better sleep
- 96% agreed that, with the products, “I don’t need to scratch a lot during the night”
- 94% agreed that, with the products, they weren’t “waking up early due to skin problems”
- 93% agreed that, during the trial period, they woke up “less often during the night”
- 89% agreed that the products help them to “wake up well-rested”
- 88% agreed that the products helped them to have a “good energy level during the day”
Improves quality of life
- Before the trial, 92% of the sample agreed that Atopic Dermatitis affected their quality of life. After four weeks of using the AtoControl products, only 38% of the sample agreed that the disease affected their quality of life. From this we can infer that, as a result of using the products, 54% of the sample felt there was an improvement in their quality of life.

Ingredients
How they work together
Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream has been specially formulated with active ingredients that soothe itchy skin.
Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream contains Menthoxypropandiol and Decanediol to calm and soothe skin during flare-ups of Atopic Dermatitis:
- An extract of menthol, Menthoxypropandiol activates natural cooling receptors (known as TRPM8) found in the nerve endings in skin. The resulting cooling sensation reduces feelings of itchiness.
- Anti-bacterial Decanediol combats the Stapphylococcus Aureus bacteria associated with Atopic Dermatitis.
The formula also contains the unique active ingredient complex used in the daily-use basic care products in the range:
- Licochalcone A: an extract of liquorice which soothes skin and reduces redness
- Ceramides: to strengthen skin’s barrier function
Itchy skin
Several mediators can cause itchiness
Hyperactive skin cells lead to an itching sensation and therefore the urge to scratch

FAQ (6)
Is Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream suitable for use on children?
Yes, so long as your child is three months or older.
How much Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream should I use?
You should use as much as you find you need to soothe your skin and reduce the sensations of itchiness. You can apply the product liberally and as often as needed.
Can I use Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream instead of my usual medication for Atopic Dermatitis?
Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream is not a pharmaceutical product and is not intended to replace one.
Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream works effectively alongside medication to help improve your skin condition and reduce itching during flare-ups of Atopic Dermatitis. Your doctor will be able to advise on how and when to apply or take your medication. If you are using a medical ointment or cream, we recommend you apply that first and allow it to absorb before applying Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream.
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 calmer period is also known as the non-acute, non-active or flare-up free 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 AtoControl range − can help to extend the calmer, non-acute phase and offer relief during acute flare-ups.
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.
Is Atopic Dermatitis contagious?
No. Atopic Dermatitis is not contagious.
