Essential Fatty Acids

Essential Fatty Acids: Nourishing Your Skin from Within

In the realm of dermatological science, essential fatty acids (EFAs) have emerged as unsung heroes, offering a multifaceted approach to improving skin health in patients with conditions such as eczema and dry skin.

Pharmacological Advantages

EFAs are not only instrumental in maintaining the skin's structural integrity but also possess anti-inflammatory properties. They serve as precursors for pro-resolving lipid mediators like resolvins and protectins, which help reduce skin inflammation, itching, and redness—common symptoms of eczema.

Physiological Harmony

EFAs contribute to maintaining the balance of skin hydration. They enhance the skin's ability to retain water, leaving it supple and hydrated. Moreover, EFAs can modulate the skin's immune response, reducing the severity of allergic reactions and flare-ups often seen in dermatological conditions like eczema.

Biochemical Brilliance

Essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, are the building blocks of the skin's lipid barrier. This barrier acts as a protective shield, preventing excessive moisture loss and shielding the skin from external aggressors. EFAs play a pivotal role in maintaining this barrier's integrity by contributing to the synthesis of ceramides and lipids that bind skin cells together.

Emollients

Emollients are crucial in dermatological care, primarily because they enhance skin hydration and barrier function. Here's a brief overview of their physiological effects and roles in managing various skin conditions.

Physiological Effects

Hydration of Stratum Corneum: Emollients increase moisture content in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This is achieved through occlusion, which traps water in the skin.
Restoration of Skin Barrier Function: They aid in replenishing the skin's lipid barrier, which is essential for maintaining skin integrity and protective function.
Soothing and Smoothing Effects: Emollients smooth, flaky skin cells, making the skin surface appear smoother. They also provide a soothing effect, which can reduce itching and discomfort.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Some emollients have ingredients that offer mild anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to reduce redness and irritation.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Emollients are a cornerstone in the management of eczema, helping to maintain skin hydration, reduce flare-ups, and minimize the need for topical corticosteroids.
Psoriasis: Regular use of emollients can reduce scaling and dryness associated with psoriasis, improving the efficacy of other topical treatments.
Ichthyosis and Xerosis: These conditions, characterized by dry, scaly skin, benefit significantly from emollients, which help hydrate and soften the skin.
Aging Skin: Emollients improve the appearance of aging skin by hydrating and reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Protection: Emollients can protect the skin from irritation and breakdown in individuals with incontinence or those who are bedridden.

Occlusives

Occlusives are a class of substances used in dermatology that work by forming a protective barrier on the surface of the skin. This barrier plays a crucial role in skin care and the management of various dermatological conditions.

Occlusives are a vital component in skincare, particularly for conditions characterized by impaired skin barrier function and excessive dryness. Their ability to lock in moisture and protect the skin from external irritants makes them invaluable in both therapeutic and preventive dermatology.

Physiological Effects

Moisture Retention: Occlusives reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by creating a physical barrier over the skin, which traps moisture and prevents its evaporation, thereby keeping the skin hydrated.
Skin Barrier Enhancement: They help in enhancing the skin's natural barrier function, protecting against environmental irritants and harmful substances.
Soothing Effect: By preventing water loss and protecting the skin, occlusives can have a soothing effect, particularly on dry, irritated, or compromised skin.
Improved Skin Texture: Regular use of occlusive agents can lead to improved skin texture, making the skin appear smoother and softer.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

Dry Skin Conditions (Xerosis): Occlusives are essential in the management of dry skin, helping to maintain hydration and reduce scaliness and itching.
Eczema and Atopic Dermatitis: They are commonly used in the treatment of eczema and atopic dermatitis to hydrate the skin and reduce symptoms like itching and inflammation.
Psoriasis: In psoriasis, occlusives can help in managing scaling and dryness, and are often used in combination with other topical treatments.
Wound Healing: Occlusives can be used in wound care to maintain a moist environment, which is conducive to healing.
Prevention of Irritant Contact Dermatitis: They protect the skin from irritants, especially in individuals with occupational exposures to harsh chemicals or frequent hand washing.

Humectants

Humectants are a vital component in skincare, particularly for conditions characterized by impaired skin barrier function and excessive dryness. Their ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin makes them invaluable in both therapeutic and preventive dermatology.

Physiological Effects

Moisture Attraction: Humectants draw moisture from the environment and the deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer (stratum corneum), enhancing skin hydration.
Enhancing Skin Barrier Function: By improving skin hydration, humectants help to maintain and improve the skin's barrier function, protecting against irritants and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Skin Elasticity and Appearance: Improved hydration can enhance skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a plumper and smoother look.
Soothing Effect: Humectants can have a soothing effect on the skin, particularly in conditions involving dryness or irritation.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

Dry Skin (Xerosis): Humectants are key ingredients in many moisturizers and are highly effective in managing dry skin by providing and maintaining hydration.
Eczema and Dermatitis: Their moisturizing and soothing properties help in relieving symptoms of eczema and dermatitis, such as dryness, itching, and irritation.
Aging Skin: Humectants are used in anti-aging skincare products due to their ability to hydrate the skin and improve its appearance.
Psoriasis: They can aid in reducing the dryness and scaling associated with psoriasis.
Acne-Prone Skin: Certain humectants can be beneficial in acne treatments, as they provide necessary hydration without clogging pores.

Curexema

The cream is great, it isn’t greasy so it is easy to use as it absorbs almost instantly and gives relief from the burn and itch when I have a flare up. I would recommend this product to anyone who struggles with dermatitis or eczema.

Fantastic skin barrier repair

I overdid it with retinol and my skin was red and sensitive. I used this for 2 days and it sorted my skin barrier out in no time. Just glowing skin. I love it as a moisturizer. It's not greasy and I have oily combo acne prone skin. Will definitely purchase again.

This product is life changing !!!

I have tried everything on the market and nothing worked. My skin was so sensitive and even prescript medicine and ointments did not work after years of chemo and radiation treatments. Thank you for changing my life and being comfortable in my own skin again. No more itchy, dry skin and no more inflammation. I will definitely order this product again and again.

Dermabase

I bought the pack for my daughter who is coming to visit from England for Christmas. So I haven’t used the treatment products. But the Dermabase is for me. And I love love love it. I used to have to apply cream to my skin twice a day and after swimming my skin was dry. Dermabase keeps my skin hydrated after one application for 24 hours. Even after a short swim. Very good product. I was raving about it so much that my other daughter also wanted one!
