Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is characterised by reduced skin barrier function and skin hydration.1 Skin barrier dysfunction promotes the development and increases the severity of atopic dermatitis.2 Studies have also demonstrated AD is associated with reduced ceramide levels, especially longer-chain ceramides like ceramide 1, and decreased levels of long-chain free fatty acids.1,3-5
Patients With AD Present With Lower Levels of Ceramides 1 & 35
In a study that compared ceramide content in healthy patients to patients with AD with active lesions, patients with AD exhibited significantly lower ceramide amounts.5
A CeraVe Routine Significantly Reduced AD Symptoms7
Protocol: In a randomised study, 151 subjects (118 subjects over 12) with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) used the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and Moisturising Cream regimen twice daily for 6 weeks. A dermatologist assessed treatment outcomes by comparing AD severity at baseline (day 0) versus the end of treatment (day 42).
