Although moisturizer usage has been considered a mainstay of treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) patients, few clinical studies have been investigated. Recently, moisturizers containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, such as licochalcone A (LA) and vitamin B(12) are of emerging interest. To

Licochalcone A (LicA), a major phenolic constituent of licorice, has antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties in human and murine cell lines. We previously showed that LicA down-regulates the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) via the modulation
