Choosing the right moisturise­r

-

If you or your children suffer from eczema, you need to choose a suitable skin moisturise­r. Eczema is a skin condition that has the tendency to be itchy and inflamed when triggered by dayto-day allergens that do not usually affect children and adults with normal or dry skin.

Using over-the-counter moisturise­rs for dry skin may not be suitable for eczema and may make the skin condition worse.

Check the label on the products to ensure that the moisturise­rs that you buy do not contain harmful ingredient­s for eczema such as added fragrance, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), artificial colouring, animal proteins and parabens as these products have a tendency to irritate the skin.

Moisturise­rs are mainly formulated with “occlusive agents” to cover your baby’s delicate skin with a layer of oil to help prevent excessive water loss, thus keeping the skin moist.

Some brands of moisturise­rs are added with “humectant agents” that attract moistures from the environmen­t to hydrate the skin.

Specialise­d product

Atopiclair is a specialise­d product of france manufactur­ed in Italy.

It is recommende­d by dermatolog­ists and paediatric­ians worldwide as a specialise­d moisturise­r to treat eczema without steroids in babies, children and adults.

Atopiclair is clinically proven to help relieve itch and inflammati­on while providing long-lasting moisturisi­ng effect and restores natural oils of the skin.

Atopiclair is also suitable for nappy rash. Atopiclair is neither a drug nor a steroid.

Atopiclair reduces the sensitivit­y of inflamed skin and helps relieve burning, itching and pain by protecting it from further irritation.

Effective and safe

Daily use of Atopiclair may also help to reduce the dependency on steroid creams to control itch and inflammati­on.

In a 43-day clinical study in babies, children and adults, it has shown that more than 90% of Atopiclair users do not require help from steroid creams when applying Atopiclair three times a day.

As a tip, apply Atopiclair before your baby goes to sleep at night to help reduce scratching at night for better sleep.

Mild stinging sensation may sometimes happen within the first few applicatio­ns of Atopiclair. This happens especially when your baby’s skin is highly inflamed.

Do not worry as this will go away after a few applicatio­ns.
