Understand my skin
Eczema-prone skin is characterized by redness, very dry and itchy skin with periods of exacerbation of these symptoms. Many scientific studies have highlighted the importance of an imbalance in the microbiome in this skin condition.
The skin is a living organ on the surface of which micro-organisms (several hundred species of bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites) naturally proliferate. All of these microorganisms constitute the skin microbiome, also known as commensal flora. In healthy skin, this microbiome lives in symbiosis with our skin cells. This constitutes a real ecosystem, which interacts and self-regulates to maintain its balance and preserve the health of your skin. When the microbiome is unbalanced, it can lead to the appearance of skin pathologies.
Among all the microorganisms living in the skin microbiome, one bacterium is found in all individuals. Patients with atopic dermatitis has excessive numbers of this bacteria on the skin surface, creating an imbalanced skin ecosystem (1). This bacterium colonizes certain areas of eczema-prone skin in the form of a biofilm.
Concerned to meet the needs for the patients, Laboratoire Bioderma developed a patented technology called Skin Barrier Therapy. This patented technology reduces the proliferation of the Staphylococcus aureus in the form of biofilm in order to help rebalance the skin ecosystem of patients with eczema-prone skin. That’s why it is at the heart of the formulas of all our Atoderm Intensive products (and some Atoderm’s hygiene products such as shower oil) dedicated to irritated to eczema-prone sensitive skin.
An in vitro study conducted on Atoderm Intensive balm showed a 99.9% reduction in the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus in the form of biofilm after 4 hours.
This targeted efficacy contributes to the excellent results observed in a clinical study conducted on 130 atopic children versus placebo: 6 months without flare-ups for 76% of patients (3).
True to the NAOS ecobiological approach, Atoderm Intensive balm addresses the biological causes of skin imbalance to provide lasting benefits. Atoderm Intensive balm supports patients with eczema-prone and very dry skin by helping to reduce the intensity and frequency of flare-ups in the long term. It plays an essential role in the sustainable improvement of the quality of life of patients.
