Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

While the repair of the epidermal barrier in atopic dermatitis is of major importance in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, most of the vehicles used may actually cause a worsening of an impaired epidermal barrier. Hydrogel vehicle is anecdotally known to be moisturizing and hydrating.This study will compare the use of Hydrogel vehicle and Eucerin Lotion in maintaining the epidermal barrier in subjects with atopic dermatitis.

Hydrogel vehicle

Parallel designed study. Split body treatment

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hydrogel vehicle

Intervention Type DRUG

Each morning and evening, gently wash the target area with warm water and gently pat dry with soft towel. Once dry place a small amount of Hydrogel vehicle onto the tip of your finger. Place a dab of the Hydrogel vehicle on either the left or right side of the body as instructed. (Do not use Hydrogel vehicle and Eucerin lotion on the same side of the body.)

Eucerin Lotion

Parallel study design. Split body study.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Eucerin Lotion

Intervention Type DRUG

Each morning and evening, gently wash the area with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Once dry, place a small amount of Eucerin lotion to the target area on either the left or right side of the body as instructed. (Do not use Eucerin and Hydrogel vehicle on the same side of the body.)
