Abstract: Acquiring or maintaining healthy skin requires a multifunctional approach: mild cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. The clinical benefits of a daily, healthy facial skin-care regimen comprising a mild cleanser and moisturizer were evaluated on normal skin, self-perceived sensitive skin, and dermatologist-assessed sensitive skin for a period of up to 4 weeks. Subjects with normal, healthy skin were photographed with a calibrated, high-resolution digital camera, and the average improvement in overall health was calculated using image morphing and facial averaging techniques, following a 2-week period of product application. In a second study that included subjects with self-assessed sensitive facial skin, changes in skin hydration, skin dryness, and skin sensitivity (determined by means of a lactic acid sting test and subject self-assessment) were monitored during a 3-week regimen of mild cleansing and moisturizing with products designed for sensitive skin. The third study involved dermatologist-assessed highly sensitive skin patients (mostly rosacea with an atopic background in some cases). These patients underwent a 4-week skin-care regimen involving mild cleansing and moisturizing. In all three studies, significant improvements in skin health/quality were observed by means of expert assessments, instrumental evaluations, and subjective self-assessment.

Rosacea: part II. Topical and systemic therapies in the treatment of rosacea.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the importance of patient education regarding trigger avoidance and skin care techniques such as moisturizing and sun protection for treating rosacea, and further research into the pathophysiology of the disease is required in order to create more targeted and efficacious treatment options.

Andrew E. Mayes,Peter Murray,David A. Gunn,Cyrena C. Tomlin,Sharon D. Catt,Yi B. Wen,Li P. Zhou,Hong Q. Wang,Michael Catt,Stewart P. Granger +9 more
TL;DR: A number of factors associated with younger appearance in Chinese women are identified and quantified and presented in the context of facial appearance could provide significant motivation for the adoption of a range of healthy behaviours at the level of both individuals and populations.

TL;DR: In this paper , a lack of practical guidance on the adjunctive role of cleansing, moisturizing, and photoprotection (CMP) is identified as one of the main barriers to establishing a holistic skin care routine for dermatological conditions.

Effect of lactic acid isomers on keratinocyte ceramide synthesis, stratum corneum lipid levels and stratum corneum barrier function
Anthony Vincent Rawlings,A. Davies,M. Carlomusto,S. Pillai,K. Zhang,R. Kosturko,P. Verdejo,Carol Feinberg,L. Nguyen,Prem Chandar +9 more
TL;DR: It is believed that lactic acid, particularly thel isomer, stimulates ceramide biosynthesis leading to increased stratum corneum ceramide levels which results in superior lipid barrier and a more effective resistance against xerosis.

Clinical and histological effects of glycolic acid at different concentrations and pH levels
TL;DR: Clinical and histological effects of glycolic acid at pH levels 3.25, 3.80, and 4.40 demonstrated significant improvement in the condition of the skin with trends implying that increasing the pH increases efficacy.
