Bepanthen™ Itch Relief Cream
Bepanthen Itch Relief Cream is a steroid-free formula which gives relief of itch within 30 minutes while restoring the skin’s barrier, helping your skin to heal. It is used to relieve itch and redness caused by the following cases of skin irritation:
- dry skin
- atopic dermatitis - eczema
- allergic reactions
The topmost layer of the skin is made up of flattened cells of the horny layer on a lipid bilayer arranged in a brick and mortar like fashion. . This structure is called the skin barrier. It protects against irritants and harmful microbes. The skin barrier weakens with a decrease in skin lipids and certain skin proteins. This leads to escape of moisture, leaving the skin dry and itchy. It also leads to easy penetration of substances leading to irritation, redness and itching.
Bepanthen Itch Relief contains a special lipid lamellar technology that is similar to the skin’s own lipids. The lipids are oriented in a lamellar fashion and integrate and bind to the damaged skin barrier leading to itch relief within 30 minutes after application. Bepanthen Itch Relief Cream contains physiologic humectants, like glycerin and panthenol, that provide long-lasting hydration, helping the skin recover.
Hence Bepanthen Itch Relief Cream relieves itch within 30 minutes in three ways:
- By providing lipids (e.g ceramides) that are oriented in a lamellar fashion- lipid lamellar technology
- By providing physiologic humectants
- By providing natural caring lipids
It is does not contain emulsifiers which are known to damage the delicate lipid lamellar structure. It is free of perfumes and preservatives that may irritate skin. It is also steroid free.
Bepanthen Itch Relief is intended for the relief of itch and redness cause by skin irritations (due to atopic dermatitis, dry skin, eczema and allergic reactions) on non-wounded skin of babies, children and adults. It may be applied as needed.

The Bepanthen Itch Relief acts as a whole formulation to repair the skin barrier. Its effect cannot be attributed to a single ingredient but to a combination of lamellar lipids, physiologic humectants and natural lipids. The effect is mediated via skin barrier repair and moisturizing which indirectly also leads to relief of inflammation, redness and itch. These clinical end benefits have been confirmed in clinical studies.
Bepanthen Itch Relief may be used as a spot treatment for lesional skin. It may be used with a topical corticosteroid. Please allow sufficient time of about 15 minutes in between applications for the skin to absorb either treatment.
Dexpanthenol acts as a humectant (pure physical mode of action). Along with the lipid lamellar technology it repairs/helps maintain the skin barrier. This indirectly leads to an improvement of the anti- inflammatory stage.
