FAQs

Q1. Who is Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme designed for, and what makes it different from regular moisturisers?
A1. Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme is specifically designed for dry, very dry, and irritation-prone skin — including atopic or eczema-prone skin — that needs intensive, long-lasting hydration without heaviness or clogging. Unlike most moisturisers, it uses a lightweight aqueous gel matrix that absorbs rapidly rather than sitting on the skin's surface, while combining clinical-grade actives (Niacinamide and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate) that strengthen and calm the compromised skin barrier from within. This makes it especially appropriate for oily or acne-prone skin that is simultaneously dehydrated — a common combination on Indian skin.

Q2. How does Niacinamide in Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme strengthen the skin barrier?
A2. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) stimulates ceramide synthesis in keratinocytes — ceramides are the primary lipid component of the skin barrier that seal moisture in and keep irritants out. In dry and atopic skin, ceramide levels are significantly reduced, creating a leaky barrier that allows transepidermal water loss and allergen entry. By upregulating ceramide production, Niacinamide in Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme helps restore the structural integrity of the barrier over time, reducing both dryness and the frequency and severity of irritation flares.

Q3. What does Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate do for irritated or inflamed skin?
A3. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a potassium salt derived from Licorice root. It inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase locally in the skin, reducing localised cortisol-driven inflammation without the systemic or skin-thinning risks of topical corticosteroids. It also inhibits PAR-2 receptor signalling, which is part of the itch pathway in inflamed skin. The result is meaningful anti-inflammatory and antipruritic action that helps calm redness, irritation, and the itch-scratch cycle in sensitised skin — making Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme suitable during mild flares or between episodes in eczema-prone patients.

Q4. Can Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme be used on the face?
A4. Yes — the formula is non-comedogenic, oil-free, and fragrance-free, making it appropriate for face and body. It can be used as a daily facial moisturiser for those with dry or reactive facial skin, and is particularly suitable for the face during and after medical treatments (topical retinoids, AHA exfoliants, or post-procedure) that compromise the skin barrier and cause dryness and flaking. Apply on the face after cleansing as a lightweight moisturiser in the morning or evening, or twice daily for very dry skin conditions.

Q5. How long does the hydration effect of Atoderm Intensive Gel Creme last?
A5. Bioderma's clinical testing shows sustained hydration for up to 48 hours per application, from the combined effect of Glycerin (immediate surface humectancy), Niacinamide (barrier lipid repair), and Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract (a brown algae rich in fucoidan that provides antioxidant protection and anti-inflammatory support to the treated skin). The 48-hour efficacy means once-daily application is sufficient for maintenance, while twice-daily use is recommended during active dryness or irritation periods.
