Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Eucerin AtoControl Dermo-cosmetic skin care for dry and irritable skin

Eucerin AtoControl is a range of dermo cosmetic products that care for for dry and irritated skin during inactive phases and flare-ups. Each product has been clinically and dermatologically tested and proven to reduce dryness, scaling and tension.

The Basic Care lotions and creams contain a combination of Omega-6-fatty acids and Licochalcone A to replenish skin, restoring its natural barrier and making it more resilient. As well as hydrating skin intensively, these products reduce the roughness, itch and tightness associated with atopic skin.

The Active Care range includes Eucerin's new AtoControl Acute Care Cream. Its skin caring properties significantly improve the skin's appearance during flare-up phases and help reduce the use of hydrocortisone during flare-ups. A clinical study shows a comparable cosmetic effect of the skin caring properties of Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream to the effects of a 1 % hydrocortisone cream on the complexion of atopic skin. AtoControl Acute Care Cream is not a pharmaceutical product and is not meant to replace one.

No fragrances, colourants or parabens have been used in this range and products are suitable for children and babies over the age of 3 months
