WHICH PRODUCTS CAN REDUCE ITCHING
AND INCREASE SLEEPING IN ATOPIC DERMATITIS?

3 min read

Pruritus (itching) interferes with sleep in adults and children with atopic dermatitis. In fact, atopic children lose an hour of sleep a night due to scratching. The atopic skin expert brand La Roche-Posay ran a clinical study on 51 patients, both adults and children, to test an atopic eczema-prone daily care routine’s ability to improve sleep quality and reduce itching sensations. The study foundoki that the daily use of a soap substitute such as LIPIKAR Syndet AP+ and an emollient such as LIPIKAR Baume AP+ applied in the evening reduced the intensity and duration of itching with up to 2x less scratching and improved both the quality and the duration of sleep.
