Xerosis is frequently associated with atopic dermatitis. Emollients are the first line of treatment for the management of atopic and non–atopic xerosis. Thus, an emollient containing lipids to restore the skin barrier, thermal spring water to soothe the skin, and pentyl rhamnoside, which provides anti-inflammatory activity, could be of interest in treating xerosis and atopic skin.
The aim of this study was to assess the interest and tolerability of an emollient containing pentyl rhamnoside, a fatty acid, ceramide, cholesterol, and thermal spring water in treating atopic and non–atopic xerosis.
