Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Improved Skin Moisturization	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported	Participants were considered to have improved moisturization 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 moisturization:

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Adverse Device Effects (ADEs)	Evaluated at every follow-up visit (2 weeks and 4 weeks visit)	Number of Adverse Device Effects (ADEs) related to the use of Epaderm Cream during the investigation.
Number of Participants With Improved Skin Softness	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported	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.
Number of Participants Who Used Epaderm as a Skin Cleanser	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported where participates answered 'yes'.	Participants were asked to confirm if the product was used as a skin cleanser by answering yes or no where yes confirmed use of Epaderm cream as a skin cleanser.
Number of Participants Who Confirmed Overall Effect and Comfort of Treatment	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported	Participants confirmed the comfort during treatment from a scale of Very Poor, Poor, Average, Good and Excellent where Excellent is considered the most comforting during treatment.
Number of Participants Who Reported Applying Epaderm Cream Twice a Day	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported	Frequency of Epaderm Cream application. Participants were asked how often Epaderm Cream was applied either once a day, twice a day, three times a day or four times a day with twice a day application being the most frequent.
Number of Participants With Improved Overall Dry Skin/Xerosis	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit, 4 weeks visit reported	Participants were considered to have improved overall dry skin if they responded 'absent' or 'faint scaling' on the questionnaire. Evaluations were carried out in the same affected spot from a scale of 0= Absent, 1= Faint scaling, faint roughness and dull appearance, 2= Small scales in combination with a few larger scales, slight roughness, whitish appearance, 3= Small and larger scales uniformly distributed, definite roughness, possibly slight redness and possibly a few superficial cracks, 4= Dominated by large scales, advanced roughness, redness present, eczematous changes and cracks where 'absent' or 'fanit scaling' refers to improved overall dry skin.
Number of Participants With Improvement of Skin Moisturization By Week 4	Assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks visit. Improvement within 4 weeks visit reported.	Participants confirmed the time to visualize improvement of skin moisturization from the range immediately, within 2 weeks or not at all where immediately refers to the most increased improvements seen.
