The best cream for atopic eczema, tested and certified
Atopic eczema is an inflammatory skin condition that is common in young children but can occur at any age. Protecting the skin from external influences, such as cleaning products, plays an important role in preventing its onset or worsening. According to expert studies, Dermaguard is one of the best creams for this purpose.
Miracle corticosteroids or a ticking time bomb?
Corticosteroids are often recommended for the treatment of acute symptoms of atopic eczema because they effectively suppress inflammatory processes and soothe the skin. However, their long-term use can have undesirable effects on the skin.
Corticosteroids heal the skin, but they also have an atrophying effect, which means that repeated use causes the skin to thin and weaken its natural protective barrier. A weak skin barrier then increases susceptibility to further manifestations of eczema.
That is why dermatologists also recommend regular use of barrier creams to help protect the skin and strengthen its natural barrier when treating atopic eczema. They work as a long-term prevention against the development or worsening of eczema.
Why choose Dermaguard for the whole family
Dermaguard is a unique barrier cream developed in the UK to meet the needs of all skin types, from sensitive children's skin to irritated and dry adult skin. The main advantage of this product is that it forms an invisible barrier that protects the skin for 4 to 6 hours, depending on how often it is washed and rubbed.
Protection and prevention in one
One of the most common reasons why atopic eczema worsens is frequent hand washing and contact with various chemicals and other irritants that disrupt the skin's natural protective barrier. Whether it's disinfectants, cleaning agents, or frequent washing, Dermaguard effectively protects the skin from irritation and moisturizes it. This prevents further drying and irritation.
Why is it important to moisturize the skin and use barrier creams?
"Moisturizing and restoring the skin barrier is necessary to protect the skin from all external influences. It also prevents the loss of water and minerals that are essential for healthy skin. The protective layer of the skin is made up of lipids and cells that are regularly renewed, and in atopic eczema, its formation is disrupted or minimal," says renowned dermatologist Milan Junášek.
A great helper for various problems
Dermaguard is suitable for preventing irritation from external influences in people with sensitive skin who suffer from dryness or reactions to cleaning products or other irritants. It can also be used on children suffering from diaper rash and helps with intertrigo or skin atrophy in seniors.
Dermaguard does not replace the treatment of atopic eczema recommended by a doctor, but thanks to its barrier function, it is an excellent complement to it.
How does Dermaguard work?
Dermaguard is a white cream or rather an emulsion containing substances that form a protective shield on the skin and its outermost layer against external influences.
One of the key ingredients in Dermaguard is dimethicone, a silicone oil that prevents irritants from penetrating the skin. It also contains glycerin and other skin-moisturizing ingredients that provide the skin with the moisture it needs, softening and smoothing it.
Dermaguard is unscented and suitable for everyday use. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film on the skin.
How to use the cream?
Dermaguard is very easy to use. Simply apply it 2-3 times a day, especially before contact with various irritants. Before application, it is ideal to gently wash the skin with lukewarm water and gel or a mild soap with a pH of 5.5. Then gently dry the skin without rubbing and apply a small amount of cream (about the size of a walnut).
Tested by experts
Dermaguard has undergone a series of clinical studies that confirm its effectiveness in preventing the penetration of irritants and in treating eczema and other dermatitis. Recommendations from the Czech Dermatovenerological Society attest to its safety and effectiveness for people suffering from atopic eczema and other skin problems.
In addition, it is certified as a personal protective equipment suitable for use in manufacturing facilities, medical offices, and households. It has also been successfully tested by the Occupational Safety Research Institute for resistance to aggressive chemicals and disinfectants and by the British company Eastgate Laboratory Ltd for skin protection in the home (e.g. against substances such as sunflower oil, washing powder and soap powder solutions, dishwashing detergents in water, etc.).
Conclusion: The best cream for atopic eczema for the whole family
Whether you are looking for a cream for yourself, your children, or older family members, Dermaguard is an excellent choice. Thanks to its formula, which not only protects but also moisturizes the skin, and its easy application, it is an invaluable aid in the fight against dry, irritated, and eczema-prone skin.
