Did you know its National Eczema Week 15 – 23 September 2008?

Wrap your skin in cotton wool! If you or a member of your family suffers with eczema, you’ll know how distressing it can be. Avène and A-Derma come to the rescue:

Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray is ideal for sensitive and fragile skin. Packed with the natural minerals and trace elements it has captured on its journey through the French Black Mountains thus creating a water that is clinically proven as pure, soothing, anti-irritating and softening. Gently spritz onto irritated skin and feel the light mist coat it with natural silica to calm and soothe. A perfect handbag essential for mums or keep it cool in the fridge for greater relief!

Avène TriXera Emollient Cream is a high tolerance, nutritious daily treatment cream, which is gentle enough to be used on babies. This emollient has a fragrance free, paraben-free formula that nourishes and soothes even the driest of skins. TriXera contains 50% Avène Thermal Spring Water that works to rapidly reduce irritation while softening the skin. TriXera has a rich yet gentle texture that facilitates application and helps to instantly restore comfort as well as suppleness and elasticity.

A-Derma Exomega Cream is an excellent moisturizing skin cream for atopic skin, and for children during episodes of intense skin irritation. It restores the skin’s comfort, softness, suppleness and defences. It is designed to provide atopic and very dry skins with the comfort, softness and suppleness they require. It is formulated with organic polyphenolic Rhealba® oat extract, which has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It also contains vitamin B3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, in the form of evening primrose oil, which provides extra relief and reinforcement of the skin’s barrier.

Exomega Milk is also available for those who prefer a lighter application.

The A-Derma Exomega range also includes a Shower Oil and a non-foaming Bath Treatment that prevents dryness of the epidermis whilst washing leaving skin smooth, supple and hydrated.

A-derma has been developed to promote good skin repair for both adults and children.

Both the Avène and A-Derma ranges are available from selected Boots and independent pharmacies. For your nearest stockist call 01582 820165.
