Bioderma Atoderm

soothing nourishing balm, 150 ml

The skin is an organ that covers your body. Some pathologies and treatments can affect the body and cause an imbalance in the skin ecosystem, weakening the skin. Dry skin is one of the most common side effects of some diseases like diabetes, or treatments for cancer or dialysis : 86% of patients undergoing chemotherapy (a), 30% of diabetics (b), and 69% of patients on dialysis (c) could experience dryness. This dryness has different cause according to the illness or treatment: - High blood sugar for diabetics - Poor kidney function and vitamin deficits for patients on dialysis - The destruction of healthy cells by indiscriminate treatments for cancer The consequences is that the skin no longer fulfils its protective barrier function. The water is no longer retained and the skin becomes drier. This dryness can affect the whole body and cause feelings of itching that can affect your everyday well-being. It can also damage the appearance of the skin, which becomes duller, rougher, and uncomfortable. It is essential to take the right steps to preserve your skin by choosing suitable products to support your skin during your treatments or your pathologies. With its MEDI-SECURE development approach, Laboratoire BIODERMA works to take care of your weakened skin. MEDI-SECURE is designed to protect and restore the skin’s natural ecosystem, while establishing strict precautionary measures adapted to skin weakened by treatments or pathologies: 1) Carefully selected ingredients and active ingredients that are recognised by health professionals to guarantee optimum safety. 2) Practical, hygienic tubes with TubairlessTM technology, to limit risks of contamination. 3) Guaranteed results backed by clinical studies conducted under medical and oncological supervision. In your case, dryness may occur in specific situations. In light of the particularities of this skin ecosystem, and in line with its MEDI-SECURE approach, Bioderma has developed Atoderm Xereane, a dermo-cosmetic product for skin that has been dried out by certain diseases or treatments, particularly diabetes, dialysis, or treatments for cancer. 1/ NUTRITION : PANTHENOL, helps to improve hydration of the skin and support its role as a protective barrier. The texture enriched in jojoba wax and shea butter provides intense, long-lasting nourishment to the skin. 2/ COMFORT AND RESISTANCE: The active ingredient ANTALGICINE™ is used to soothe feelings of discomfort. Three pure sugars strengthen skin resistance. This combination of actives ingredients helps to reduce feelings of itching. Our approach respects NAOS ecobiology principles to better preserve the skin ecosystem and to strengthen its natural mechanisms. Rather than over-treating the skin, it must learn how to function properly.
