Summary

This trial will test whether measuring a person's skin hydration levels will help them to better follow their moisturizer routine and prevent disease relapse.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with dry skin (xerosis) related to eczema or atopic dermatitis, who can communicate in English. It's not suitable for those under 18 or without a working knowledge of English.

What is being tested?

The study tests if monitoring skin hydration and water loss helps people stick to using Cetaphil Pro Eczema moisturizer daily. Participants will either get no extra help, answer weekly surveys, or use a device (GPSkin) that checks how well the moisturizer works.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves the use of a topical moisturizer and electronic devices for monitoring, side effects are minimal but may include mild skin irritation from the product or discomfort from using the device.
