Description

atopico® oil lotion is a milky lotion-type moisturizer for use on the entire body formulated from a Camellia oil base containing no perfumes or dyes. To investigate its safety and efficacy a clinical test was performed for 4 weeks on 26 patients with dry skin. Skin symptoms such as dryness, squama, erubescence, keratotis pilaris and itching that were observed prior to the start of treatment were significantly improved on the last observation day (p<0.01). In the clinical test the formulation was found to be very useful in 38.5% of cases and useful or better in 100% of cases. No side effect was observed in any case; therefore, safety was indicated. Subjects reported this formulation to be pleasantly moist, to spread well over the skin and feel comfortable on the skin. In fact, 96.2% of patients wanted to continue to use this formulation. These results indicate that atopico® Oil Lotion is a safe and useful moisturizer for patients with dry skin diseases to use as part of normal daily skincare.
