Findings
In a 30-person study of older adults with chronic itching and dry skin, daily use of this oat extract moisturizer significantly reduced itching compared to no treatment—over half reported improvement, and 30% said the itching disappeared entirely. Results showed up immediately after the first application and improved skin hydration and dryness when measured objectively.
