† To be included in the moderately-severe to severe categories, participants were rated in the 7-10 range initially on a scale similar to the one shown in “Figure 1.” A significant change was defined to be a 2-point or greater improvement. ‡ There were 10 participants in the active group and 10 participants in the control group at the start of each study but only 8 participants completed the study as two were relocated for employment reasons.
¶ Skin dryness was only evaluated for 9 months (and no cross-over data is available) because participants were unwilling to refrain from using sunblock during the summer months.
