Evaluation of the comparable efficacy of hyaluronic acid-based foam and ceramide-containing emulsion cream in the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis

A clinical evaluation of the comparable efficacy of hyaluronic acid-based foam and ceramide-containing emulsion cream in the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis.

Article specifications

This clinical study was published in 2011 in Journal of J Cosmet Dermatol. (IF 2011:1.57) by American specialists. A newly developed hyaluronic acid based, pH neutral foam technology formulated to maximize humectancy and normalize transepidermal waster loss was evaluated for its ability to optimize barrier function while minimizing unnecessary irritation. This double blind split body study enrolled 20 subjects with mild to moderate symmetrical atopic dermatitis involving body surface area greater than or equal to 10% using the arms or the legs as the target site. Subjects were randomized to apply the hyaluronic acid based emollient foam or the reference ceramide-containing emulsion cream to one side of the body with the other test product applied to the opposite side.

 

Results

A prescription hyaluronic acid based foam device offers an aesthetic formulation with excellent efficacy in patients requiring an environment for barrier repair with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
