What factors influence desquamation?
Our studies demonstrated that desquamation was influenced by two factors. One is water content in the stratum corneum. Under the low water condition enzymes cannot work well, even if the contents of the enzymes are normal. In this case, humectant treatment was effective by supplying water to the stratum corneum.
