Real-World Evidence of an Emollient Device for Atopic and Contact Dermatitis in Pediatric to Adult Patients - Data from a Post-Marketing Surveillance.

Purpose: Atopic and contact dermatitis have been attributed to skin barrier abnormalities, immune system dysfunction and inflammation leading to pruritus. As these factors may involve oxidative stress, emollient devices containing antioxidants furfuryl palmitate and tocopherol may help reduce itching and inflammation. In this study, a post-marketing questionnaire was carried out of 40 users of a novel emollient device containing furfuryl palmitate and tocopherol (Relizema™ cream), who purchased it from a pharmacy or health-care professional to ascertain the emollient device's action on itching, flushing and moisturizing.

Efficacy and Safety of an Antioxidant-Enriched Medical Device for Topical Use in Adults with Eczematous Dermatitis.

Introduction: Emollients reduce the severity of dermatitis-associated symptoms. Antioxidant supplementation may be helpful to control inflammatory processes and consequential skin damage. The clinical performance and safety of an emollient medical device for topical treatment enriched with antioxidant ingredients in adults with mild-to-moderate dermatitis is presented in this manuscript.

A review on the role of moisturizers for atopic dermatitis.

Effective management of atopic dermatitis (AD) involves the treatment of a defective skin barrier. Patients with AD are therefore advised to use moisturizers regularly. To date, there are few comparative studies involving moisturizers in patients with AD, and no classification system exists to objectively determine which types of moisturizers are best suited to specific AD phenotypes.
