Gentle relief for atopic eczema: Eucerin® Soothing Lotion 12% Omega
Dry, rough skin with redness, cracking and inflammation – sound familiar? If you suffer from atopic eczema, you’ll be looking for a way to ease your discomfort; if you’re the mother of a baby or small child with atopic eczema, who wakes throughout the night from the itching and discomfort, you will be searching for a solution to relieve your little one’s distress. Help is finally at hand for all atopic eczema sufferers, with the latest innovation from Eucerin®.

Now, complementing the existing Eucerin® Dry Skin range, is the new Eucerin® SOOTHING LOTION 12% OMEGA, offering the first solution for the three most common skin problems caused by atopic eczema. Eucerin® SOOTHING LOTION 12% OMEGA contains natural, yet highly-effective active ingredients which gently soothe away dry, rough skin, relieve redness and inflammation and soothe itchy skin.  The product comes with clinically proven effectiveness*, and the best news is – it is proven to be suitable for babies’ and children’s skin.

The latest Clinical study published in the JEADV 2010: The efficacy of Eucerin® Soothing Lotion 12% Omega Lotion is equal to that of 1% hydrocortisone lotion in the treatment of childhood atopic dermatitis.

How does Eucerin® SOOTHING LOTION 12% OMEGA actually work?  Firstly, it contains Evening Primrose Oil, Grape Seed Oil, (Linoleic and Gamma Linolenic Acid) and Ceramides-3 which together strengthen the damaged skin barrier and replenish what is lacking in atopic
skin:

The other key ingredient is Licochalcone which reduces skin inflammation and erythema when topically applied. All of these ingredients combined smooth dry, rough skin (thus stabilising the skin barrier), relieve redness and soothe itchy skin. Skin is left moisturised, soft and smooth again.

Licochalcone:  extracted from Chinese Liquorice Root blocks the release of inflammation mediators and is proven to have anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical studies have proven that skin care products containing Licochalcone significantly soothe skin and provide visible relief from redness.

Evening Primrose Oil:  the high portion of essential fatty acids found in the oil from Evening Primrose seeds is particularly valuable for the regeneration and revitalisation of skin. This oil replaces the Omega-6 fatty acids and lipids missing in the skin, reinforces the skin’s protective barrier and moisturises dry skin. For Eucerin® SOOTHING LOTION 12% OMEGA, high quality, pure Evening Primrose Oil from biologically-controlled crops is used exclusively.

Natural Grape Seed Oil:  acquired from the small grape seeds is rich in highly-dosed Linolenic Acids and anti-oxidants.

Thanks to Eucerin® SOOTHING LOTION 12% OMEGA, eczema sufferers of all ages can enjoy soothing relief from atopic eczema and live life to the fullest!
