Identifying any potential triggers and taking steps to avoid or limit them is a key step to reducing the number of flare-ups.
Regular moisturisation
The primary aim when caring for atopic facial skin on a daily basis is to prolong the non-acute phase and regular moisturisation is crucial. Look out for moisturisers (also known as emollients) that contain proven ingredients such as:
- Licochalcone A: soothes skin and reduces redness
- Ceramides: strengthen skin’s barrier function
- Omega-3 and Omega-6: soothe and nourish skin while replenishing its protective barrier.

Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream (with anti-bacterial Decanediol and cooling Menthoxypropandiol) has been specially formulated to give skin the care and comfort it needs during flare-ups.
