Eucerin's AtoControl Acute Care Cream breaks the vicious circle of itchy flare-ups with soothing care. AtoControl Acute Care Cream is not a pharmaceutical product.
Apply as often as needed on the affected areas to intensively care, calm and soothe skin. Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream is a unique complex which includes regenerating Omega-6- fatty acids (Evening Primrose Oil and Grape Seed Oil), soothing Licochalcone A (an extract from the licorice root), anti-bacterial Decandiol and cooling Menthoxypropanediol. It has been clinically and dermatologically proven to be suitable for atopic skin in adults, children and babies from the age of 4 weeks.
To minimise the risk of skin irritation and allergies, it is cortisone-free, fragrance-free, colourant-free and paraben-free.
How to Use
Apply as often as needed on flare-up areas.
You may experience a cool sensation or tingling shortly after application. This is nothing to be concerned about and just shows that the product is working.

Cleanse
Cleanse your body with Eucerin AtoControl Bath and Shower Oil. These products can be used during acute flare-ups of Atopic Dermatitis as well as during the period between flare-ups.
Care
During a flare-up Apply Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream to the relevant affected area to improve skin condition. Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream can be used alongside medical acne treatment. If you are also using a topical medical product apply that treatment before Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream. All our daily care products can also be used during a flare-up and should be applied after your medication and Eucerin AtopiControl Acute Care Cream. Daily care for the periods between flare-ups Apply the appropriate daily care product: Eucerin AtoControl Lotion: a lighter lotion that is easy to apply all over your body
Protect
Atopic skin is particularly sensitive to UVA and UVB rays. For this reason, if your skin is going to be exposed to sunlight, we recommend that you apply a sun protection product after your care product. Try Eucerin Sun Creme SPF30 or Eucerin Sun Creme SPF50+ for your face and try Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF30 or Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF50 for your body.
Main findings
In a Product in Use (PiU) test, Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream was used alongside Eucerin AtoControl Lotion by a sample of 144 men and women, all aged 30+, with mild and moderate Atopic Dermatitis. After four weeks of daily use they reported the following results. Improves quality of life
Before the trial, 92% of the sample agreed that Atopic Dermatitis affected their quality of life. After four weeks of using the AtoControl products, only 38% of the sample agreed that the disease affected their quality of life. From this we can infer that, as a result of using the products, 54% of the sample felt there was an improvement in their quality of life.

Clinical Formula
Licochalcone A
Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza inflata). Licochalcone A protects skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors like UV and blue light (HEVIS). Key benefits are:
- Antioxidant Defense: Activates antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, shielding skin cells from oxidative damage, including lipid peroxidation, DNA- and protein damage.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Effectively reduces redness and soothes irritated skin, making it ideal for sensitive and irritated and stressed skin conditions.
Ceramide 3
Ceramides are essential skin lipids that form a key component of the epidermal barrier. They provide two main benefits:
- Barrier Function: Ceramides strengthen and restore the skin’s protective barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss and shielding against environmental stressors.
- Dry Skin Relief: By maintaining optimal hydration levels, ceramides alleviate symptoms of dryness, keeping the skin soft and resilient.
