AB SUMMARY  POINTSWhat’s  Important?Occlusives,  humectants,  and  emollients  treat  the  symptoms  of  dry  skin,  while  barrier  repair  ingredients  treat  the  causes  of  dry  skin.Hyaluronic  and  oleic  acids  increase  penetration  of  other  ingredients.The  type  of  water  used  in  a  moisturizer  can  affect  its  efficacy.Using  the  wrong  ratio  of  ceramides,  fatty  acids,  and  cholesterol  will  injure  the  skin  barrier  and  worsen  dehydration.What’s  New?Unsaturated  fatty  acids  decrease  melanin  synthesis  and  tyrosinase  activity,  while  saturated  fatty  acids  increase  melanin  synthesis  and  tyrosinase  activity.Barrier  repair  moisturizers  can  diminish  inflammation  and  reduce  inflammatory  cytokine  levels  in  serum.What’s  Coming?New  technologies  to  increase  penetration  using  nanotechnology  and  other  methods  will  increase  the  ability  to  add  ingredients  to  moisturizers.
