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.
