Journal ArticleDOI
Dandruff: a condition characterized by decreased levels of intercellular lipids in scalp stratum corneum and impaired barrier function
TL;DR: Two studies indicate that the quality and resilience of the epidermal water barrier is impaired in the scalp of dandruff sufferers, and propose that the perturbed barrier leaves d andruffsufferers more prone to the adverse effects of microbial and fungal toxins, and environmental pollutants, thus perpetuating their impaired barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water modulation of stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme activity and desquamation.
TL;DR: The concept that in the upper stratum corneum, RH modulates desquamation by its effect upon SCCE activity, and possibly other desquamatory hydrolases, may be supported.
