Summary
This study tested whether a cosmetic cream can improve skin hydration and barrier function in adults with dry, very dry, sensitive, and cracked skin. 35 participants applied the cream twice daily for one month. Researchers measured skin moisture and water loss at several visits to see if the product helped. The goal was to ease discomfort like dryness, flaking, tightness, and itching.
