Research Summary
Advances in the current understanding of the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis have led to improved targeting of the structural deficiencies in atopic skin. Ceramide deficiency appears to be one of the major alterations in atopic dermatitis, and the replenishment of this epidermal component through topically applied ceramide-based emollients has been shown to be safe, well-tolerated, and effective.
Recently, a ceramide hyaluronic acid foam has become commercially available, and increasing evidence supports its safety and efficacy in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis.
