Abstract

Dermatitis is a disorder of dry skin or a state of skin sensitization due to exposure to external substances. Moisturizing treatments can reduce TEWL (transepidermal water loss). This study is aimed to determine the effectiveness of using moisturizing creams that contain saccharide isomerates and ceramide to reduce TEWL in eczema sufferers. The moisturizing creams have been applied in the lower limbs of eczema sufferers as subjects. The research subjects were 12 people for each group, namely the Saccharide Isomerates (SI), non-SI, Ceramide (S) and non-S. Tewameter/Corneometer 350 treatment used to measure TEWL values before treatment (Week 0) and after treatment (Week II). Data analysis using the unpaired t-test. The results showed that the use of moisturizing creams containing saccharide isomerates and moisturizing creams containing ceramide effectively reduced the TEWL value in eczema sufferers (p = 0.032).
