Severely dry skin: clinical evaluation of a highly effective therapeutic lotion

Four clinical studies are presented on a recently introduced therapeutic lotion for severely dry skin. Two monadic single-blind efficacy studies showed that hands of subjects treated with the product (Lotion V) were significantly improved over untreated hands. Following the completion of a regression study, two subsequent double-blind comparative studies showed Lotion V to be significantly more effective than a well-established therapeutic lotion (Lotion K) for certain major signs and symptoms of dry skin. Results were derived from both objective clinical evaluation by investigating dermatologists and subjective evaluation by participating volunteers.
