Skin barrier differences and variations in the presentation of common dermatoses such as xerosis and atopic dermatitis (AD) have been reported in racial/ethnic Canadian patients. This review discusses skin barrier differences and explores the role of ceramide-containing skin care in promoting a healthy skin barrier and mitigating AD.

This review summarizes and discusses the role and efficacy of moisturizers, particularly the more recently introduced ceramide-based formulations, in the skin care regimen of patients with both active and quiescent atopic dermatitis.

This article discusses atopic dermatitis, its pathogenesis, and general treatment principles as well as specific therapeutic options.

This paper examines the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, the skin barrier, and the role that ceramides can play in therapy.
