Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Hamamelis Lotion in a UVB Erythema Test

Comparative efficacy of hamamelis distillate and hydrocortisone cream in atopic eczema
TLDR
The results prove the superiority of low-dose hydrocortisone cream over hamamelis distillate cream, and the therapeutic outcome following this preparation was no better than following the base preparation, indicating the mild, yet unmistakable anti-inflammatory effect of hamamelIS cream in experimental models of inflammatory skin disease.
Dual inhibitory activities of tannins from Hamamelis virginiana and related polyphenols on 5-lipoxygenase and lyso-PAF: acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase.
