Your skin barrier is your body's first line of defense against the outside world. A healthy skin barrier helps retain moisture while protecting against bacteria, viruses, allergens, irritants, and environmental pollutants.
In conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), the skin barrier becomes damaged and more permeable. This allows moisture to escape and harmful substances to penetrate the skin more easily, triggering inflammation, itching, and recurrent flares. A compromised skin barrier also increases the risk of secondary skin infections, particularly from bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, which commonly colonizes eczema-prone skin and can worsen disease severity. In some cases, viral and fungal skin infections may also occur more readily when the barrier is impaired.
At AURACIL, we believe that restoring and maintaining the skin barrier is fundamental to achieving healthier skin. While symptom relief is important, supporting the skin's natural protective function may help reduce flare frequency, improve long-term skin resilience, and lower the risk of complications associated with a weakened skin barrier. Healthy skin begins with a healthy barrier.

If you are currently using a topical steroid, you should not stop or change your treatment without first speaking with your healthcare provider.
AURACIL was developed to provide an effective, steroid-free option that helps support skin barrier health while avoiding the long-term use of topical steroids whenever appropriate. Depending on your individual condition and treatment plan, your healthcare provider may recommend transitioning to AURACIL, using it alongside your topical steroid for a period of time, or incorporating it into your maintenance skincare routine.
Every person's skin is different, so we encourage you to discuss the best approach with your healthcare provider to determine whether AURACIL should replace or complement your current treatment.

A confirmed diagnosis is always the right place to start. We encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning AURACIL to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition and to develop a personalized plan for managing your symptoms, supporting your skin barrier, and helping reduce the severity and frequency of future flares.
At AURACIL, our goal is not only to help calm today's flare but to empower you with the knowledge and tools to achieve healthier, more resilient skin over the long term.
