What Is Xerosis?

10th Mar 2023


Are you suffering from skin dryness where your regular moisturizing doesn’t provide adequate relief?

Xerosis or very dry skin is not a myth. It can result from exposure to extremely dry weather condition, side effect of certain medication such as acne or cancer treatment, or effect of some disease state on your skin such as diabetes which can alter your sweat production. Furthermore, skin condition such a dermatitis, psoriasis, keratosis pillars or ichthyosis can result in very dry skin too. Xerosis is normally characterized by scaly & flaky skin, especially on the arms and legs, feeling of extremely tightness, redness with irritation, itch, and appearance of fine cracks.

Treating early is very important to mange this condition and prevent further complication such as infection. A range of moisturisers are available to treat dry skin, but when xerosis is concerned a keratolytic moisturiser with an emollient and exfoliant synergy is preferred.

Dermal Therapy offers a range of keratolytic moisturisers and cleansers to manage Xerosis related very dry skin effectively. This range consist of a range of products containing urea using its unique keratolytic property and a combination of synergistic emollients in a very rich formulation base. A keratolytic moisturiser/cleanser is very unique because it removes the dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin to make sure the emollients used in the formulation can penetrate through the skin more easily. This approach is considered the most beneficial for treating any exfoliative skin condition also.
