Eczema and the skin
In very dry and eczema-prone skin, the natural skin barrier is often more fragile. The cohesion between skin cells and skin lipids is less stable, meaning the skin is less able to retain moisture. This increased transepidermal water loss, also known as TEWL, can contribute to dryness, flaking, tightness, and a less comfortable skin feel.
The skin microbiome can also become imbalanced. Therefore, this skin does not require an aggressive approach, but consistent care that gently cleanses, helps preserve skin lipids, and respects the natural protective mechanisms.
Skin Relief Routine
Targeted care for very dry and eczema-prone skin
The Skin Relief Routine has been developed to gently cleanse the skin step-by-step, intensively hydrate it, and specifically support the skin barrier.
By combining the products in a logical routine, the skin receives daily support in retaining moisture and maintaining lipids. This way, the skin can gradually feel smoother and more comfortable.
Why choose the Skin Relief Routine?
Eczema-prone skin requires care that does not unnecessarily stress the skin. The Skin Relief Routine combines mild cleansing with hydrating and lipid-replenishing care.
This treatment helps to:
Gently cleanse the skin. Without unnecessarily degreasing the skin or further stressing the vulnerable skin barrier.
Retain moisture in the skin. By supporting the skin's moisture level and a supple skin feel.
Maintain and replenish skin lipids. With nourishing oils and skin-identical lipids that fit within a barrier-focused approach.
Support the natural skin balance. By paying attention to both the skin barrier and the skin microbiome.
The care philosophy
The Skin Relief Routine is based on three key principles:
Combining these functions creates a daily routine that focuses on rest, regularity, and skin support.

Frequently asked questions
This is a skin that may be prone to severe dryness, flaking, itching, or recurrent sensitivity. The skin barrier may be more fragile and less able to retain moisture. Only a doctor can diagnose and medically treat eczema.
The skin barrier helps retain moisture in the skin and protects against external influences. When this barrier is weakened, moisture can evaporate more easily and the skin may feel drier, tighter, or more sensitive.
Ceramides and other lipids form an important part of the protective layer between skin cells. Skincare with skin-identical and supplemental lipids can help support this barrier and moisture retention.
The skin microbiome consists of microorganisms that naturally live on the skin. Together, they contribute to its natural balance. When you have sensitive skin, it is important to care for it gently and not unnecessarily disrupt this microbiome.
The products are developed for daily use. Follow the instructions for use for each product and adjust the frequency and quantity according to your skin comfort. Discontinue use if discomfort or irritation occurs.
No. Skin Relief is a cosmetic treatment for very dry and eczema-prone skin. Consult a general practitioner or dermatologist for active, severe, weeping, painful or possibly infected eczema and always follow a prescribed treatment.
