Common questions
Is Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. Eucerin also describes it as fragrance-free.
Does Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 8 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate citrate, hydrogenated coco-glycerides); plant oils & butters (helianthus annuus seed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, vitis vinifera seed oil); and 3 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Eucerin AtoControl Acute Care Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
