An established commercial cream containing polidocanol and urea has been tested in double-blind, randomised clinical studies, in comparison with a new lotion formulation, that has been developed for extensive treatment of the whole body. The studies were carried out in 19 healthy volunteers and 30 atopic eczema patients with itching and dry skin. The results show that the cream and the lotion have very good skin tolerance, significantly increased skin moisture and skin lipids and have fast-onset anti-itching efficacy. Both products are highly effective for the treatment of itching and dry skin of patients with atopic eczema.
