17 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a sterilized probiotic on skin health and hydration in adults with dry skin. The goal of the study is to determine if the addition of a skin-conditioning probiotic to a standard gel product will moisturize the skin, support a healthy skin microbiome, and be readily tolerated by adults with dry skin.
Dry skin is characterized by a lack of moisture in the outer layer of the skin and can occur as a result of numerous factors including cold weather, low humidity, age, etc. In this study, the moisturizing benefits of two formulas were evaluated for barrier function improvement/impact when used by women with moderately to severely dry skin on their lower legs.
This was a placebo-controlled double-blinded trial to compare effects of 2% IDL lotion to placebo in female subjects with dry skin. Primary endpoints were skin hydration (NovaMeter) and transepidermal water loss (VapoMeter).
The primary objective of this study was to investigate if AmLactin® Rapid Relief improves the skin through desquamation and moisturization via D-SQUAME analysis. AmLactin® Rapid Relief is an over-the-counter cosmetic.
The purpose of the study is to compare the changes in the appearance of dry skin after the use various moisturizers: white petrolatum ointment, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and almond oil in patients with dry skin.
To evaluate the ability of 2 Helioblock SX Cream formulations to moisturize skin using capacitance and transepidermal water loss methodology
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel topical treatment for dry scalp conditions, including dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. The study investigates clinical improvements in symptom severity, participant experience with the treatment, and changes in the scalp microbiome before and after use. By studying this treatment, the investigators aim to provide children and adults with a natural, effective option for managing dry scalp conditions.
This is a randomized, controlled trial designed for children who are have already developed atopic dermatitis (AD or eczema) by 12 weeks of age. The aim is to compare the effect of proactive sequential skin care, including the twice-daily use of a tri-lipid skin barrier cream (Epiceram) and proactive use of fluticasone propionate cream, against reactive AD therapy, to reduce the occurrence and severity of AD in early infancy and thereby prevent food allergy (FA).
This research is being done to evaluate the role of a regular skin care regimen comprising of a mild soap and moisturizer in improving dry skin and overall skin health. In this study, the investigators hope to learn the importance of regular skin care regimen in improving dry skin and overall skin health.
The investigators' primary objective is to identify common and rare mutations in the filaggrin gene in African American patients with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis vulgaris. Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a common, chronic, relapsing and remitting problem in many children and affects 10-20% of the pediatric population. Itch is a predominant feature of this disease and is quite disruptive to daily activities of life. In addition to itch, it is characterized by markedly dry skin, small red bumps that may have fluid. Ichthyosis vulgaris is characterized by extremely dry, scaly skin with a fine white scale and increased amounts of lines noted on the palms. Filaggrin is a protein that is essential for the skin to function properly as a barrier and found to be mutated in some European patients with ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis. This association has not been looked at in the African American population. Genomic DNA (gDNA) will be purified from buccal swabs using commercially available kits and analyzed.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Clobetasol propionate foam in subjects with chronic dermatitis.
This study will test the safety and efficacy of three topical agents containing oat kernel flour to determine how well they relieve skin dryness and itching related to cancer therapies. Participants will receive a body wash, a body cream, and an anti-itch balm to use at home for 4-6 weeks.
The objective of this 1 week trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an over-the-counter (OTC) 1% colloidal oatmeal skin protectant cream in adults and children with mild to moderate AD.
The purpose of this 3 week study is to test the effectiveness of an over-the-counter (OTC) skin balm in infants and toddlers with mild to moderate dry, itchy skin.
This study is for infants with mild to moderate dry and itchy skin. This study will involve going to the doctor for 6 visits over 2 weeks. All participants' skin will be examined by a dermatologist to determine if they have atopic dermatitis and have an active mild to moderate eczema wound. Participant's parents/guardians will be asked a few questions to determine if their child qualifies for the study. Then all participants' caregivers will complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the study. The child's skin will be examined to rate the level of their eczema and a trained examiner will grade the looks and symptoms of their eczema. All parents or guardians will be instructed how to apply the test product and how to record usage on a diary card and then apply the test product. The test product will be applied at least 2 times per day or more as needed on all body areas, including the face affected throughout the study. One digital picture will be taken of one eczema wound. Another digital picture will be taken of the area around this wound. These pictures will be taken on Day 0 (Baseline), Day 3, and Day 14. Once product is applied the skin will be examined for any adverse events and all participants' caregivers will complete a questionnaire on study day 1, 3, 7 and 14.
To demonstrate that DMSt + RF improves eye blink quality in subjects with dry eye disease
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (assessed by clinical evaluation of eczema/atopic lesion severity \[atopic dermatitis severity index {ADSI} scoring\] and perceived benefits in itch \[visual analog score {VAS} scoring\]) and tolerability (assessed by clinical grading) of an investigational spot treatment Gel Cream when used on a target site of participants with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
