Dermatology: Edited by James Dinulos
Are the new moisturizers more effective?
Anderson, P Chris; Dinulos, James G
Current Opinion in Pediatrics:
August 2009 - Volume 21 - Issue 4 - p 486-490
Abstract

Purpose of review: The authors discuss the role of moisturizers in the
daily skin care regimen of healthy skin and in atopic dermatitis, as
well as the efficacy of newer products.

Recent findings: Recent findings have shown that the affected skin of
atopic individuals is deficient in ceramides, an integral lipid
component of the stratum corneum. Several manufacturers have developed
topical products with ceramides in an attempt to replace the missing
molecules. These products, though more expensive, have shown moderate
efficacy improvements over traditional moisturizers.

Summary: Moisturizers are recommended to nearly every atopic patient,
and should be part of the daily skin care of these patients, as they
have the potential to reduce the quantity of topical steroids
necessary to keep disease quiescent. The vast array of choices
available to consumers is overwhelming, and most patients would like
their physicians to recommend specific products. We attempt to provide
a review of the newer products available, with special emphasis on
those products that contain ceramides.
