<p>Effects of a cream containing 5% hyaluronic acid mixed with a bacterial-wall-derived glycoprotein, glycyrretinic acid, piroctone olamine and climbazole on signs, symptoms and skin bacterial microbiota in subjects with seborrheic dermatitis of the face</p>

Abstract

Objective: A new cream formulation containing hyaluronic acid 5%, complexed with a mix of a bacterial-wall-derived glycoprotein and peptide glycan complex (EDS), has been recently developed. We evaluated in a prospective, assessor-blinded, 6-week study the efficacy and tolerability of EDS in the treatment of facial seborrheic dermatitis (SD) and the effects on skin microbiota. Subjects and methods: Seventy-five subjects (mean age 46; 60 men) with moderate-severe SD of the face were enrolled. EDS cream was applied twice daily. The primary outcome was the evolution of the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score, evaluating erythema, scale/flaking, grade of seborrhea and itch. Superficial skin bacterial microbiome at baseline and after treatment was assessed, using the 16S rRNA gene methodology, in affected and non-affected face areas. Local tolerability was evaluated checking self-reported side effects at each visit. Results: Baseline IGA scores (mean±SD) was 10±3. The use of EDS reduced IGA score significantly by 70% at week 3 and by 88% at week 6. An increase in the abundance of Cutibacterium acnes genera associated with a significant drop of Staphylococcus genera presence was detected in affected areas. The ratio of relative abundance of genera Cutibacterium /Staphylococcus increased significantly after treatment in affected areas. The product was very well tolerated. Conclusion: Treatment with EDS applied twice daily for 6 consecutive weeks was associated with a reduction of the signs and symptoms of SD. Furthermore, after EDS cream treatment, a reequilibrating effect on facial skin microbiota was observed. The product was very well tolerated.

“…Metronidazole is anti-inflammatory via inhibition of free radical species (9,10). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring, highly conserved polysaccharide (11); it can trigger built-in immune defense mechanisms and promote cytokine production. Biological interactions of hyaluronic acid include effects on cell proliferation, recognition, and locomotion, along with angiogenesis and inflammatory cell activity (12).…”
