Novel Skin Barrier Product Versus Petrolatum for Skin Barrier Dysfunction
Sponsor: Makati Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a novel barrier topical product works to treat barrier dysfunction in adults. It will also learn about the safety of the novel barrier topical product. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the novel barrier topical product improve skin hydration, skin sebum, redness, and pigmentation? Does it improve subjective dryness and itch? Researchers will compare the novel barrier topical product to petrolatum (a gold standard occlusive barrier repair agent) to see how they are comparable in treating skin barrier dysfunction. Participants will: Apply the novel barrier topical product or petrolatum twice a day for 28 days Visit the clinic once a week for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their application of the assigned product
