Comparison of urea-based compounding moisturizers and similar commercial products on skin barrier function: A randomized biometric study
Background and Aim: Although several commercial moisturizers are available in the market, continued role of pharmaceutical compounding have been still felt in dry skin management. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a two urea- based compounded moisturizers on barrier function, compared to similar commercial product. 15 volunteers (14 females and one male) age 36.15 ±9.55 years old (rang...
متن کاملA review on the effects of urea in skin disorders
Alterations in barrier function are associated with a number of skin diseases, including xerosis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Urea, a component of the natural moisturizing factor of the skin, plays an important role in the preservation of skin hydration and integrity. Several studies have investigated the effects of urea in the clinical setting. Here, we summarize the available clinical e...
متن کاملIN VITRO STUDY OF AN ENDOGENOUS IMMUNOSUPPRESSOR FACTOR DERIVED FROM HUMAN OR BOVINE SERUM
The effects of the human and bovine LSF (derived from sera) as well as their purified fractions were studied on murine lymphocytes reactions indicated by blast transformation (BT) assay, mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) and IgG synthesis. The results indicated that bovine lipid suppressor factor (LSF) has significant immunosuppressive activity on lymphocytes proliferation both in BT and MLC ...
متن کاملUrea uptake enhances barrier function and antimicrobial defense in humans by regulating epidermal gene expression
Urea is an endogenous metabolite, known to enhance stratum corneum hydration. Yet, topical urea anecdotally also improves permeability barrier function, and it appears to exhibit antimicrobial activity. Hence, we hypothesized that urea is not merely a passive metabolite, but a small-molecule regulator of epidermal structure and function. In 21 human volunteers, topical urea improved barrier fun...
متن کاملA phase i study of daily treatment with a ceramide-dominant triple lipid mixture commencing in neonates
BACKGROUND Defects in skin barrier function are associated with an increase risk of eczema and atopic sensitisation. Ceramide-dominant triple lipid mixture may improve and maintain the infant skin barrier function, and if shown to be safe and feasible, may therefore offer an effective approach to reduce the incidence of eczema and subsequent atopic sensitisation. We sort to assess the safety an...
