Dry skin needs a lot of extra TLC in my opinion. If you want smooth, healthy skin you have to fight to keep it hydrated, especially in summer. Internal and external sources of hydration are important to all skin types but extra dry skin can take a little more work to keep the thirst quenched. My dry skin is pretty tough and can get through most conditions relatively unharmed but in summer my legs can get so dry they reveal scales.

I need a body lotion that will hydrate my dry skin but is gentle enough on irritations as well as being highly effective to work fast and help my skin build a stronger barrier. Bioderma’s Atoderm range is specifically designed for dry and very dry skin. Having had success with the body wash, I wanted to try the lotion. Here are my findings.  
A daily care, Bioderma Atoderm PP Ultra Nourishing Emollient Balm 500ml prevents the return of cutaneous intense and severe dryness.
Ecodefensine, an anti-recurrence patented complex of Atodertm PP, regulates the cutanuous ecosystem and thus preserves the saprophytitic flora's balance, necessary to protect the epidermis. Skin protects itself better against external attacks.

Atoderm PP anti-reccurence immediately relieves irritations thanks to powerful soothing active ingredients.

PP Vitamin supports the synthesis of lipids which, in case of intense dryness, are particularly deficient. Atoderm PP anti-recurrence thus supports the rebuilding of the cornea layer's cement (epidermic barrier).

Rich in moisturising active ingredients, it ensures an immediate and long lasting-hydration.

Fragrance-free and formulated with the DAF complex (dermatological advanced formulation), it increases the tolerance rate of the most reactive skins, guarantees an optimal tolerance and gets an extreme cutaneous comfort.

Does not leave any greasy film. Its rich and creamy texture is easy to spead out.
Bioderma - Atoderm Nourishing Cream - For Dry to Very Dry Sensitive Skins moisturises, nourishes and protects the body's skin.

Thanks to its ultra-rich and restructuring active ingredients, Bioderma Atoderm Perfumed Nourishing Cream consolidates the structure of the cutaneous barrier and thus slows down the penetration of irritating agents. Enriched in moistening and anti-desiccant ingredients, it fixes water in the surface layers of skin and avoids its evaporation.

Result, moisturised and stronger, skin is soft and supple again.

Paraben-free, delicate fragrance. Hypoallergenic.
