3-way mechanism of action

A unique Aveeno® combination with a multifaceted, three‑way mechanism of action that helps strengthen and soothe the skin from within.

Strengthens the skin barrier

Reduces itching and signs of 
inflammation caused by dry skin

Supports the skin microbiome 
and normalizes pH

Powered by Triple Oat® Complex

Oat Extract: Soothing

  • Reduces inflammatory mediators by blocking production of cytokines

  • Avenanthramides suppress hypersensitivity, inflammation, and itch responses7

  • Oat extract reduces histamine-induced reactive oxidative species in keratinocytes via anti-oxidant properties8

Oat Oil: Barrier-Strengthening

  • Strengthens the skin barrier by stimulating endogenous production of essential elements

  • Holds moisture within the stratum corneum5

  • Promotes skin's endogenous production of ceramides

Oat Flour: Nourishing

  • Helps support the skin microbiome by acting as a prebiotic

  • Oat flour supports the growth of commensal microorganisms like Staphylococcus epidermidis7

  • Oat flour serves as a skin buffer and normalizes pH

  • Oat flour metabolism increases lactic acid, improving the skin moisture barrier & microbiome diversity in dry/itchy skin and atopic dermatitis7,9

Oat oil helps stimulate the skin’s endogenous ceramide production up to 3X

Clinical research has found that oat lipids activate PPARβ and induce ceramide formation in skin cells.
