When should you choose this gel for dry, atopic-prone skin?
A-Derma Exomega Control 2-in-1 Emollient Cleansing Gel is a soap-free, syndet-type cleansing gel with a physiological pH. Its formula combines Rhealba® oat seedling extract, sourced from organic farming, with glycerin and sunflower and evening primrose oils. Originally designed for bathing babies with dry skin, it’s suitable for the whole family: a single pump bottle works for both parents and children.
This 2-in-1 gel gently cleanses the face, body, and hair in a single step. Its light lather is sufficient for cleansing without the need for multiple products on skin that is sensitive to harsh treatment.
Dry, atopic-prone skin often feels tight after bathing, especially when the water is hard. While cleansing, this gel nourishes and soothes dry skin, making bath time more comfortable—whether in winter or when heating dries out the air.
When bathing toddlers, shampooing is often the most dreaded part. This cleansing gel doesn’t sting the eyes: it can be used in both the shower and the bathtub, and rinsing the hair is done without tears or a struggle.
Cleansing is only half the battle when it comes to dry skin: once rinsed and dried, it needs an emollient to take over. For this, we recommend the A-Derma Exomega Control emollient balm, from the same line. Applied to skin that’s still slightly damp, it nourishes where the gel simply cleansed without drying out the skin, and the two steps form a single evening routine.

Our expert advice on Exomega Control for dry skin
With dry, atopic-prone skin, it’s tempting to switch cleansers every time your skin acts up. Often, the opposite is what helps: sticking with the same product for several weeks and introducing only one new item at a time helps you figure out what your skin truly tolerates. When the skin reacts despite a consistent routine, it’s no longer the gel that should be questioned: paying close attention to the signs that warrant a doctor’s visit becomes the most critical step.
Quantity matters, too. For an infant, a small pea-sized amount is enough for the body and hair; using more product requires longer rinsing and more scrubbing—two things that dry skin doesn’t tolerate well.
FAQ
Can I use A-Derma Exomega Control 2-in-1 Emollient Cleansing Gel as shampoo for my baby?
Yes. A-Derma Exomega Control 2-in-1 Emollient Cleansing Gel is applied to the scalp and hair as well as the body, then rinsed off with clean water. It is suitable for infants’ scalps, even when they have cradle cap, which eliminates the need to add a separate shampoo to the bath routine.
Can I choose A-Derma Exomega Control 2-in-1 Emollient Cleansing Gel instead of the cleansing oil from the same line?
Yes, the choice comes down mainly to texture and intended use. A-Derma Exomega Control 2-in-1 Emollient Cleansing Gel forms a light lather and also cleanses the hair, making it a one-stop solution for bath time. A-Derma Exomega Control Emollient Cleansing Oil has an oily texture, which some people prefer for very dry skin; either one can be used on its own, without needing to combine them.
What water temperature should you use with A-Derma Exomega Control 2-in-1 Emollient Cleansing Gel?
Use lukewarm water, never hot: hot water dries out the skin and causes it to overheat. It’s best to keep your shower or bath short—around five to ten minutes.
