Cleanse
Background
Born with, a scaling skin disorder, this 44-year-old
male had been in search of products that would help
manage his condition better. He had unsuccessfully used
rock salt, scrubbing with a wire brush, motor oil soaks,
clear plastic wraps, bleach soaks, topical salicylates,
polyhydroxy acid-containing lotions and oral retinoids.
Objective
To minimize skin roughness, using a complete skin care
system on the affected areas.
Methodology
The protocol included daily cleansing with Remedy
Cleansing Body Lotion. Once dry, the Skin Repair
Cream was applied, followed by Nutrashield to decrease
e-TEWL. For areas of odor and other high-risk areas, the
Antimicrobial Cleanser was used.
Results
During the first week of observations, the test area
began to exfoliate. By week two, partial areas of
‘normal’ appearing skin on the left arm were visible. By
week three, the entire test area was clearing. At week
four improved skin appearance was reported.
