Rebuilding and reorganizing the skin barrier prevents water loss and the penetration of allergens, irritants and pathogens, providing relief from itching and reducing the urge to scratch.

Bepanthen® SensiDerm Itch Relief Cream (top) and 1% hydrocortisone (bottom) are shown before treatment (left) and after 28 days of treatment.5
No statistical difference between Bepanthen® SensiDerm and 1% hydrocortisone. Statistical difference between Bepanthen® SensiDerm and untreated skin.
During a flare, the skin barrier is damaged, and the skin becomes dehydrated.

- • PANTHENOL (Pro-Vitamin B5): moisturizes the skin barrier and provides optimal conditions for the natural regeneration process of the skin.3
- • GLYCERIN: supports water retention and long- lasting hydration.6
- • PENTYLENE GLYCOL: a moisture-binding agent.7
- • SODIUM PCA: a natural moisturizing factor.
