Can a spruce extract cream soothe sensitive skin? new study says maybe.

This study tested whether a cream made with spruce tree extract can help repair the skin barrier and reduce symptoms like dryness, redness, and itching in people with sensitive, atopy-prone skin. 66 healthy adults used the cream or a placebo for 21 days. Researchers measured skin moisture loss, hydration, and signs of irritation to see if the cream worked better than the placebo.
