The treatment of eczema, the synonym for dermatitis-2

 Emollients
Emollients can keep the skin dry by reducing water loss from the epidermis.
Emollients are an essential part of their daily skin care for patients with dry skin such as eczema. There are many types of products like ointments, creams, lotions and so on.
Evaporation of the product’s water from the skin can ease itching. It is important to avoid products containing potential allergens. Emollients can prevent eczema by maintaining skin barrier function

An emollient is a humectant, lubricant and occluder. Occlusion provides a layer of oil on the skin's surface, thus slowing down water loss. A humectant enhances the surface of the skin's capacity to hold water. A lubricant reduces friction when anything rubs against the skin.

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical ...

AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (Beta hydroxy acids) The ingredients of AHAs & BHAs and their sources AHAs( water-soluble ) Glycolic acid: sugarcane Latic acid: milk, fruit Malic acid: apple Tartaric acid: grape Hydroxy caprylic acid: hops Citric acid: fruit BHAs ( lipid-soluble ) Salicylic acid: plants AHAs are water-soluble and can only penetrate the outer stratum corneum. The higher concentrations are used to induce an acid peeling effect . They are effective to stimulate keratinocyte growth. For medical treatment, the concentration is higher than 20%, even more than 50%. The main function of AHAs is to modify the barrier function of the skin.  There are the functions of some ingredients.  Glycolic acid can stimulates the production of collagen . Epidermal and dermal remodeling of the extracellular matrix can result from high concentrations. However, l onger treatment intervals may result in collagen deposition . ...
