Evidence-Based Basic Emollient Therapy

This CME-accredited session will review the current evidence related to the use of basic emollient therapy in the management of xerosis cutis and diseases associated with dry skin. The webinar will examine the structure and function of the skin barrier, key pathophysiological mechanisms involved in xerosis cutis, and the biophysical characteristics of basic emollients relevant to skin hydration and barrier support. Clinical evidence for the use of basic emollients in atopic dermatitis and other dry skin conditions will be reviewed, along with consideration of their role within longer-term management approaches in routine clinical practice. This activity is supported by an independent support grant from Pierre Fabre.
