Eucerin AtopiControl Anti-Itch-Spray

Atopic skin is irritable, dry and itchy. This itchiness induces scratching which gets in the way of a good night’s sleep and can have a negative impact on quality of life.

Eucerin AtopiControl Anti-Itch-Spray has been specially formulated to deliver both immediate and long-lasting itch relief. It is clinically proven to reduce symptoms of itchy skin within 60 seconds with results that last for up to six hours.¹

The innovative spray contains a unique anti-itch ingredient complex that counters the itch sensation on multiple levels – from the outer layers of skin down to the nerve endings – to instantly cool, calm and soothe irritated skin:

• Menthoxypropandiol cools skin and works at a sensory level to reduce feelings of itchiness
• SymSitive* calms skin, stops any stinging and reduces redness.
• Polidocanol soothes skin by reducing the signals of itchiness at a cellular level.

Eucerin AtopiControl Anti-Itch-Spray is ideal for localized itching on the body caused by Atopic Dermatitis and Atopic Eczema and can be used during both flare-ups and the periods between. It’s convenient for on-the-go and can be used alongside Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream and/or your usual medication.

Fragrance-free, the cooling spray absorbs quickly and is non-greasy and non-sticky. It is suitable for adults, children from the age of three and is also effective on skin that is itchy as a result of Xerosis, Psoriasis and Diabetes.

Clinical and dermatological studies prove very good efficacy and skin tolerability. Suitable for localized itching, Atopic Dermatitis, Atopic Eczema, Psoriasis, Xerosis, for those with Diabetes and for children from the age of three.

Among other clinical and dermatological studies, a clinical study1 was conducted with 32 patients with Atopic Dermatitis who regularly suffer from itchy skin. After applying the spray twice daily for two weeks 94% confirmed that it ‘has a cooling and refreshing effect on the skin’.

The research shows that Eucerin Anti-Itch-Spray reduces itchy skin within 60 seconds and for up to six hours.

Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream and Eucerin AtopiControl Anti-Itch-Spray have been specially formulated with active ingredients that soothe itchy skin.

Eucerin AtopiControl 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

The key actives in Eucerin AtopiControl Anti-Itch-Spray are Menthoxypropandiol, SymSitive* and Polidocanol:

• As in the Acute Care Cream, the Menthoxypropandiol cools skin and works at a sensory level to reduce feelings of itchiness
• SymSitive* calms skin, stops any stinging and reduces redness. It does this by blocking an itch-related receptor known as TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) and calming the skin’s nervous system.
• Polidocanol soothes skin by reducing the signals of itchiness in the cells of the epidermis (the outer layers of skin. It does this by inhibiting the release of TSLP (Thymic Storal Lymphoietin) an itch mediator created by the keratinocytes (a type of epidermal cell).

As well as being used to calm skin during a flare-up, the spray can also be used in the periods between flare-ups when skin is a bit itchy. The product should not be used on open wounds.

Hyperactive skin cells lead to an itching sensation and therefore the urge to scratch

Active calming of skin cells stops the itching sensation
