Hands are frequently in contact with water and cleaning products. Depending on your work, other chemicals may also damage the skin on your hands. These factors can weaken the skin barrier and dry the skin out, so that it starts to feel tight, becomes rough and readily turns red, flaky and itchy. Eucerin AtopiControl Hand Cream makes the skin on the hands smooth and soothes it. The fast-absorbing formula, which does not leave the skin greasy, contains a distinctive combination of actives: soothing Licochalcone A, antibacterial decanediol and itch-relieving menthoxypropanediol (MPD). The formula is also rich in ceramides and oat extract (Avena sativa) - these strengthen the skin barrier, relieve skin dryness and suppress the sensation of itch. Contains no fragrances. Although oat is widely valued for its soothing properties, some people may be allergic to it. With regular use the condition of the skin improves noticeably, and the skin stays smooth and elastic even when washed frequently.
