Abstract
We carried out a six-week study in 40 children less than 6 years old with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in order to assess the safety and efficacy of a hypoallergenic skin care product series 2e (Douhet) baby plus, consisting of a foaming shampoo, foaming cleansing soap and milky lotion. The shampoo was applied to the scalp and hair, and the cleansing soap and lotion were applied to the face in this study. We confirmed that children with atopic dermatitis could use these products safely. Furthermore, daily skin care with these products improved dry skin, scratch marks, and skin barrier function. Our results suggest that these skin care products are safe for children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, and are useful to improve the skin condition.Skin Research, 10: 316-328, 2011
