Exploratory Study on Lactibiane Topic AD on Skin Flora and Barrier Reinforcement in Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

Exploratory Study to Assess the Impact of a Cosmetic Product (Lactibiane Topic AD) on Skin Flora and Skin Reinforcement Barrier in Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

This exploratory study aims to evaluate the impact of a cosmetic product (Lactibiane Topic AD) vs placebo on skin flora and skin reinforcement barrier in mild to moderate atopic dermatitis using biometrological, biological and clinical parameters.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject diagnosed with mild to moderate AD defined as SCORAD≤40 (Eichenfield et al. JAAD 2014).
• Subject with at least two symmetric AD lesions with comparable severity: Located either on upper extremities (left and right arms except hands) or lower extremities (left and right legs except feet), With an erythema ≥ 1 (mild to severe intensity), With a lesional area score ≥ 4 on both lesions with an authorized delta of two points between the two lesions, With a sufficient extent to allow all the investigations.
• Subject with I, II, III or IV skin phototype (according to Fitzpatrick's scale).
• For woman of childbearing potential (defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant): Negative urine pregnancy test at inclusion visit. Use of a highly effective method of birth control* during the study. * A highly effective method of birth control is defined as one which results in a low failure rate (less than 1%) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, double barrier methods (e.g. condom with spermicide), sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner.
