Very dry to atopic skin is characterized by extreme dryness causing skin irritations and displaying a compromised skin protective barrier function. The main cause for these skin properties alterations is an imbalance of the lipids constituting the skin’s protective barrier.

A compromised protective barrier will not preserve the natural hydration of the skin and it will not provide an effective skin protection. In such a situation, the measured water loss or TEWL rates will increase.
