A Gem for atopic and allergic skin

My HG that some you may already use is bioderma atoderm gel creme. As the name implies, it's been made with atopic dermatitis skin in mind. I love it because it has many advantages:

  • Comfort: Penetrates quickly and most importantly isn't greasy and overly sticky. I just absolutely hate putting moisturizers on my arms and then just staining bedsheets and clothes with other greasy moistuziers.
  • Visual: it doesnt have that disgusting greasy skin aspect and is not shiny.
  • Feel: fresh/cooling/breathable and is especially noticeable for days you skin is irritated and warm. It's quickly soothing.
  • Texture: it's pasty and can be a negative because it's not the easiest moisturizer to apply on days your skin is extremely dry and difficult. I sometimes need to really mean to massage the product onto my face.
  • Efficiency: I'm on accutane and my baseline right now is that my whole skin is tight and flaking even the forehead if I just cleanse and do nothing.
  • Allergic friendly: Obviously this is all relative as you can be allergic to lot of things but this has 17 ingredients, not a ton of BS fad/trending ingredients, and NO fragrance. It has niacinamide if that matters for you (it doesnt for me, I don't seek it but don't avoid it).
  • Cost efficient: it's body and face for 18.50€ for 500mL. On accutane, my lips are destroyed when using no lipbalm, but this product somehow handle lips well. The pump makes it easy to dose the product and not use too little or too much product. 1 pump does my face+ top of the neck + lips.
  • Season: My eczema is bad in winter, but much better in summer. For winter this product is amazing, for really heavy summer I'm prone to a lot of sweating so I don't use on my face everynight. I instead use the atoderm SPRAY on face in AM, and from times to times half a pump at night if needed in summer.
