Could a single daily moisturizer tame ichthyosis skin?
NCT ID NCT07783165
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study asks whether a once-daily emollient called Doublebase Once can safely help manage ichthyosis, a condition causing dry, scaly skin. About 100 people with ichthyosis will replace their usual moisturizer with Doublebase Once for 28 days, applying it once daily. Participants answer questionnaires about their skin condition and product use to see how well it performs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Doublebase Once, a leave-on emollient (moisturizer) applied once daily
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could support Doublebase Once as a convenient once-daily option to help manage dry, scaly skin in people with ichthyosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a short, non-comparative survey, not a controlled trial, so results may be subjective and not prove effectiveness beyond usual emollient care.
