Tolerance of an emollient in association with topical corticosteroids and antihistamines

Severe xerosis is frequently associated with itch, pain and even bleeding and therefore interferes with daily functioning and sleeping emollients in association with corticosteroids and/or antihistamines are prescribed to manage the intensity of symptoms. An emollient with active ingredients including shea butter, niacinamide, thermal spring water, APF (a biomass of Vitreoscilla Filiformis grown in TSW) and microresyl has been developed to restore skin barrier, rebalance microbiome, and prevent the excessive proliferation of staphylococci by fighting against the persistence of bacteria and the creation of biofilm. Evaluation of the tolerance of all combinations of topical corticosteroids and antihistamines with the emollient, was carried out in an observational study from private consultations data.
