Bioderma Atoderm vs. Excipial Lipocream: Body Moisture

These two body treatments tackle severe dryness using very different strategies. Bioderma Atoderm is a gentle, daily barrier-support cream; it uses Niacinamide (Vitamin PP) to encourage the skin to naturally produce its own lipids. Excipial Lipocream is an intensive, heavy-duty barrier ointment; it uses a massive 55% lipid concentration to form a thick, protective grease layer over sensitive or raw skin.

Bioderma Atoderm relies on biology. It utilizes the Skin Protect Complex™ (Niacinamide/Vitamin PP). Instead of just coating the skin, the Niacinamide signals the skin cells to naturally synthesize their own protective fats (ceramides) to support the barrier that is causing the dryness. **Excipial is an artificial wall.** With a massive 55% lipid content, it doesn't try to change the skin chemistry; it simply traps your body's natural water inside and acts as a physical block against external irritants.

If your skin is incredibly sensitive, raw, or you are looking to protect a child's delicate skin from harsh winter winds, the absolute purity and heavy greasing of the Excipial Lipocream is highly protective. However, if your skin is simply chronically dry, tight, and sensitive, and you want a giant pump-bottle of gentle, barrier-supporting daily moisture for the whole family, Bioderma Atoderm is a flawless choice.
