My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Sensitelial AD Intensive Balm of the brand ACM is specifically designed for very dry skin prone to atopic eczema. This skin type has an impaired skin barrier, high reactivity, and a tendency toward chronic inflammation. My analysis of the formulation reveals a clear desire to restore the barrier function, soothe irritation, and limit insensible water loss. This product is therefore perfectly suited to the dermo-cosmetic care of atopic skin, as a complement to medical treatments.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention:

• Shea butter Rich in essential fatty acids, it intensely nourishes, restores suppleness, and limits dehydration. Its occlusive action protects the skin from external aggressions.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) : This multifunctional active ingredient strengthens the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and alleviates itching. It also promotes cell repair.
• Prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides) : They contribute to the balance of the skin microbiome, which is essential for limiting eczema flare-ups and strengthening the skin's natural defenses.

The presence of sunflower oil and vitamin E complements the antioxidant and lipid-replenishing action, a guarantee of quality for a formula designed for atopic skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this balm morning and night to clean skin, ideally after showering to maximize absorption. It can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids (respecting an application interval) or soothing skincare products. I avoid combining it with powerful or irritating exfoliating active ingredients (high concentrations of AHA/BHA) so as not to aggravate skin sensitivity.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This balm stands out for its rich but non-sticky texture, its fragrance-free formula, and its excellent tolerance. It is remarkably effective at treating dryness and soothing itchiness. The only possible drawback is that its texture may seem thick for non-atopic skin. In conclusion, it is an expert, safe skincare product that is perfectly suited to atopic skin.
