AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Body Cream — Soin Corps Céramides

This body cream translates AESTURA's clinical expertise into an XXL format. At the heart of the formula: Micro-Fine Ceramides™ (Ceramide NP + Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA), encapsulated in capsules specifically designed for the thicker skin layers of the body. Unlike classic ceramides, they remain active longer on the surface of the epidermis thanks to this patented encapsulation technology.

The biomimetic lipid trio — ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids — replicates the natural composition of the intercellular cement to fill gaps in the skin barrier. It also contains Panthenol (provitamin B5), which stimulates the synthesis of structural lipids, and Niacinamide to sustainably strengthen the barrier function. Theevening primrose oil (Oenothera Biennis Oil), rich in gamma-linolenic acid, soothes reactive skin, while Gluconolactone, a gentle PHA, removes dead cells without irritation — essential for rough areas (elbows, knees).

☀️ Morning routine

1. After showering, on skin still slightly damp: take a generous dollop
2. Warm between palms to activate the melting of the ceramide capsules
3. Apply all over the body in circular motions, focusing on elbows, knees, legs
4. Let absorb for 2-3 minutes before dressing — the texture melts without a greasy film

🌙 Evening routine

1. After a bath or lukewarm shower (hot water weakens the barrier): pat dry
2. On still warm skin, apply a generous layer on very dry areas (shins, hands, feet)
3. For atopic skin: use as an additional layer after a thermal spray or hydrating essence

Pro tip: in winter or after exposure to chlorine/sun, double the application on exposed areas.

Target profiles:

• Dry to very dry skin : if you step out of the shower with an immediate tight feeling, this cream restores the hydrolipidic film within 48 hours
• Atopic or eczematous skin : dermatologically tested and non-comedogenic, it is recognized by the National Eczema Association — suitable from early childhood
• Reactive sensitive skin : fragrance-free, essential oil-free, alcohol-free — hypoallergenic formula tolerated even after body microneedling
• Weakened barriers (over-exfoliation, frequent shaving, chlorine, dry climate): the lipid trio rebuilds the intercellular cement with 2 weeks of daily use

Avoid if: open wounds, infected dermatitis (consult a dermatologist), known allergy to synthetic ceramides.

From the first application : immediate feeling of comfort, disappearance of tightness, non-sticky satin texture.

After 1 week : visible reduction of flaking on elbows and knees, refined skin texture, less nighttime itching (clinical study on 32 subjects with sensitive skin).

After 4 weeks : 38% improvement in the skin's natural defense capacity (tape-stripping test), +132% perceived hydration, increased resilience against aggressions (cold, fabric friction).

Prolonged use: prevention of eczema flare-ups, less reactive skin to temperature changes, maintenance of a functional barrier even in extreme conditions.

What is the difference between this Body Cream and the Atobarrier 365 face cream?

The ceramide capsules in the body version are smaller and designed to penetrate the thicker skin layers of the body. The 250ml size is intended for generous daily application, unlike the 80ml face version. The texture is slightly richer but melts instantly upon contact with the skin.

How long does a 250ml bottle last?

With daily use on the whole body: about 4 to 6 weeks. With targeted application (legs, arms, dry areas only): up to 8 weeks. A small amount is enough per area, and the texture spreads easily.

Can I use it on skin prone to eczema or atopic dermatitis?

Yes, that is actually its primary purpose. AESTURA holds the Seal of Acceptance from the National Eczema Association. Use it outside of acute flare-ups to maintain the barrier, or during the recovery phase after a crisis. If you have weeping lesions, consult your dermatologist first.

Does the texture leave a greasy film or stick to clothes?

No. The ceramide capsules melt on contact with the skin and absorb within 2-3 minutes. It leaves a matte finish with no residue. Tip: apply on slightly damp skin to boost absorption and avoid rubbing with a towel after application.

Can I apply it after waxing or shaving?

Yes, but wait 10-15 minutes after shaving to avoid any stinging sensation (even though the formula is hypoallergenic). It’s excellent post-waxing to prevent ingrown hairs and soothe redness thanks to Panthenol and evening primrose oil.

Can it be used on the face in a pinch?

Technically yes, but the face version (Atobarrier 365 Cream) is formulated with capsules optimized for the thinness of facial skin. If you only have the Body Cream on hand, apply a thin layer on very dry areas (cheeks, lip contour) — but prioritize the dedicated product for daily face use.

AESTURA takes its name from the Latin aestuarium (estuary), a symbol of fertility and convergence — reflecting its dual pharmaceutical and dermatological expertise. Founded in 2012 under the aegis of Amorepacific, the brand is the heir to Pacific Pharmaceuticals (established in 1982), which created the first Ato Barrier Cream exclusively distributed in hospital settings. For 26 years, this treatment was the secret of Korean dermatologists for treating post-laser, post-peeling, and severe atopic skin.

In 2008, AESTURA launched the consumer version, quickly voted the No. 1 brand sold in dermatology clinics for 10 consecutive years (Korea Consumer Agency, 2016-2025). Today, the brand is present in 100% of general hospitals in South Korea and collaborates with 62 specialist dermatologists. The Atobarrier 365 Cream sold one unit every 7 seconds in 2024, becoming a viral phenomenon.

The result of 40 years of research on sensitive skin, AESTURA applies MD (Medical Device) protocols to ensure safety and clinical efficacy. Discover the entire AESTURA range
