Moisturizer benefits eczema management
Effects on the Skin Microbiome by a Moisturizer Formulated for Eczema-Prone and Sensitive Skin.
Protein effect not isolated.
We explored the effects of a specialized moisturizer designed for eczema-prone and sensitive skin on the skin's bacterial communities. In our open-label study involving 12 participants, we focused on a formulation that includes colloidal oatmeal, a specific plant extract, and a unique protein derived from filaggrin. Participants applied the moisturizer twice daily for 21 days, and we looked at changes in their skin microbiome through cheek swab samples collected before and after the treatment.

Our findings revealed that in 10 of the participants, there was a notable increase in bacterial species richness, meaning that a greater variety of bacteria was present on their skin after using the moisturizer. Importantly, these changes did not lead to any harmful shifts in the overall makeup of the skin bacteria, suggesting a positive balance was maintained.

This implies that incorporating moisturizers with anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties could be beneficial for managing eczema symptoms. Overall, the study adds valuable insight into how specific ingredients might support skin health in those with sensitive conditions.

Vitamin E may aid eczema relief
Biochemical and Clinical Effects of Vitamin E Supplementation in Hungarian Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome Patients.
Study shows mixed symptom improvements
We explored the effects of vitamin E supplementation on patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS), particularly focusing on symptoms like eczema. In a three-year study, six patients who were already on dietary cholesterol treatment received vitamin E. Their vitamin E levels were initially low, but following supplementation, all patients showed a significant increase in plasma vitamin E concentrations.

Among the various symptoms assessed, including aggression, irritability, and skin issues like eczema, some patients reported improvements. Our findings indicated that three out of the six patients experienced a reduction in symptoms, including skin photosensitivity and eczema. Notably, those who responded best to therapy had lower baseline ratios of certain cholesterol-related compounds.

While the study suggests that vitamin E could provide benefits to SLOS patients—possibly contributing to improvements in skin conditions like eczema—individual responses varied. Thus, vitamin E supplementation may be worth considering in the management of SLOS, especially for those with low initial vitamin E levels and certain biochemical markers.

Lebrikizumab improves eczema management
Lebrikizumab is associated with improvements in patient-reported symptoms and quality-of-life measures across Eczema Area and Severity Index response categories: pooled results from phase-3 randomized ADvocate1 and ADvocate2 studies in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.
Study relevance is limited
We analyzed the effectiveness of lebrikizumab, a treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, based on pooled data from two phase 3 studies known as ADvocate1 and ADvocate2. In these studies, participants were divided into two groups: one received lebrikizumab while the other got a placebo. This method helped us measure the treatment's impact on both symptoms and quality of life over 52 weeks.

At week 16, we observed significant improvements in patients’ symptoms of eczema and their overall quality of life, categorized by their response to treatment as measured by the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). Notably, those with higher EASI responses experienced more considerable improvement in itching, sleep quality, and overall well-being compared to those with lower scores.

The findings are quite promising, showing that patients treated with lebrikizumab had a better chance of feeling relief from eczema symptoms and improved life quality. Overall, patients not only reported fewer symptoms but also achieved better scores in anxiety and depression measures. This suggests that lebrikizumab is an effective option for managing eczema.

Severe itching relief
Helped my eczema. I started having eczema on my elbows with severe itching. I read that this oil is excellent for eczema, and it truly is. I use it after every shower and even in between.
