Daily care lotion for skin with Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic skin is dry, irritable and itchy. This itchiness induces scratching which triggers the itch-scratch cycle. Symptoms worsen and can get in the way of a good night’s sleep and have a negative impact on quality of life.
Eucerin AtoControl Body Care Lotion is a daily-use body lotion that has been specially formulated to soothe and intensely moisturise irritated and itchy skin. The easily-absorbed, water-in-oil lotion is enriched with soothing Licochalcone A, Ceramides and Omega Oils to strengthen skin’s barrier, relieve dryness and itching and prolong the period between flare-ups of Atopic Dermatitis.
With regular application skin condition noticeably improves and skin feels soft and smooth. Fragrance- free, Eucerin AtopiControl Lotion can also be used alongside Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream during a flare-up and has been shown to support sleep and improve quality of life for those with Atopic Dermatitis(1).
Suitable for adults, children and babies over three months.

The ingredients in our brand products are updated regularly. For this reason, occasionally there may be discrepancies between the ingredients on our website and on our product packaging.

Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant active that is derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant Glycyrrhiza inflata. Licochalcone A protects cells from oxidative stress mediated by UV and blue light (HEVIS).
Licochalcone A is able to activate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. These enzymes protect the skin cells from damage induced by oxidative stress, like lipid peroxidation and DNA as wells as protein damage. Licochalcone A is able to soothe irritated skin and redness.
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.
Grape Seed Oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E. The polyphenols and flavonoids found in Grape Seed Oil are strong anti-oxidant compounds and, thus, provide protection from damage caused by free radicals while Linoleic acid soothes and nourishes skin.
What is the difference between Eucerin AtoControl Cream and Eucerin AtoControl Lotion?
The cream has been specially formulated for use on problem areas such as the elbow folds and knee cavities. The lotion is better suited for use all over the body.
Is Eucerin AtoControl Lotion suitable for use on children?
Yes, so long as your child is three months or older.
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 period is also known as the non-acute, non-active or interval 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 period between flare-ups 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.
