Evidence: In a double-blind randomized controlled trial of acne patients all using adapalene 0.3%/benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel, adding a ceramide-containing cleanser and facial lotion for 12 weeks yielded significantly lower inflammatory lesion counts than a basic face-wash control, with significantly better TEWL and lower investigator scores for dryness, erythema and scaling.
