Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loss-of-function mutations in FLG (encoding filaggrin) are a predisposing factor for atopic dermatitis (AD) and cause ichthyosis vulgaris (IV). Patients with AD and IV display impaired skin barrier and dry skin, and altered epidermal expression of genes in pro-inflammatory and lipid metabolic pathways are often evident. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of three different moisturizers on skin barrier...
