    Disagree, Strongly disagree where Strongly agree is the most improved skin moisturization:

    Measured: Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With Improved Skin Softness

    Participants were considered to have improved softness if they responded strongly agree or agree on the questionnaire. Evaluations were carried out in the same affected spot from a scale of Strongly agree, Agree, Neither agree nor disagree, Disagree, Strongly disagree where Strongly agree is the most improved skin softness.

    Measured: Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported

  2. Number of Participants With Improved Overall Dry Skin/Xerosis
