First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated May 28, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether applying over-the-counter moisturizers like Vaseline or CeraVe daily for 4 weeks can reduce inflammation in adults aged 70 and older with dry skin. Researchers will measure skin barrier function, blood markers of inflammation, and skin microbiome changes. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is feasible, not to prove a treatment works.
