A global perspective on caring for healthy stratum corneum by mitigating the effects of daily cleansing: report from an expert dermatology symposium
A symposium was held in October 2011 on skin cleansing and its role in basic skin care. The meeting was attended by an international group of leading dermatologists.
Essential Fatty Acids and Atopic Dermatitis
TLDR
Intervention studies suggest that omega-6 fatty acids, especially γ-linolenic acid, may be useful for mild atopic conditions, and orally ingested and topically applied oils containing ε-linoleic acid improve skin barrier functioning.
Topical treatment with sacran, a sulfated polysaccharide from Aphanothece sacrum, improves corneocyte‐derived parameters
TLDR
The results indicate that the sulfated polysaccharide sacran is an effective agent for improving or maintaining the skin conditions.
Use of emollients in dry‐skin conditions: consensus statement
TLDR
A group of clinical professionals covering acute community‐care settings and medicines management met to review current data and practice to support other professionals in their approach to the use of emollient therapies in dry‐skin conditions.
Defects of corneocyte structural proteins and epidermal barrier in atopic dermatitis
TLDR
This review summarizes recent discoveries on the origin of the skin barrier alterations in AD at the structural protein level, including hereditary and acquired components.

One of the most important steps people can take in reducing the spread of bacteria and viruses is washing the hands with soap and water. Frequent washing, required in certain occupations, can lead to…
Moisturizer in Patients with Inflammatory Skin Diseases
TLDR
Basic cosmetics, especially moisturizers, should be recommended in consideration of the ingredients, effectiveness and safety of each product, and the skin condition of each patient, according to a patient’s skin condition.

TLDR
An update on the latest developments for the molecular basis of SC maturation and moisturization, while highlighting the contributions of Professor Marks in the different areas is provided.
Understanding and treating various skin types: the Baumann Skin Type Indicator.
Moisturization and skin barrier function
TLDR
The present paper reviews the current understanding of the biology of the stratum corneum, particularly its homeostatic mechanisms of hydration, and discusses how each maturation step leading to the formation of an effective moisture barrier—including corneocyte strengthening, lipid processing, and NMF generation—is influenced by the level of SC hydration.

TLDR
A heterogeneous two-compartment model of the stratum corneum that ascribes a special role for intercellular lipids in the regulation of stratum Corneum barrier function and desquamation is proposed.

Alpha hydroxyacids modulate stratum corneum barrier function
TLDR
This study shows that AHAs can modulate stratum corneum barrier function and prevent skin irritation: the effect is not equal for all AHAs.
The effect of glycerol and humidity on desmosome degradation in stratum corneum
TLDR
One of the major actions of moisturizers in vivo is to aid the digestion of desmosomes which are abnormally retained in the superficial layers of xerotic stratum corneum, according to this investigation.
